Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2

Research Blog | GitHub Repository

This repository provides the DFlash 2 Speculative Draft Model for Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B and its derivatives, including JonathanColetti/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored and wyattearp/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-NVFP4.

Important: This is a speculative decoding draft model, not a standalone generative LLM. It is designed to run concurrently inside an inference server (vLLM or SGLang) alongside the target base model, proposing draft token blocks that the target model verifies in parallel.

How DFlash 2 Works

DFlash 2 is a block-diffusion speculative drafter:

1. Parallel Block Proposal: Instead of autoregressively drafting tokens one-by-one, DFlash 2 predicts a full block of 7 tokens in a single forward pass.
2. Candidate Path Selector: It retains the top candidates at each position and uses a lightweight selector to trace a coherent path through them.
3. Lossless Verification: The target model (e.g. Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-NVFP4) computes verification logits across the proposed block in a single step. Greedy decoding matches the base model with 100% mathematical fidelity, while sampling preserves the target distribution.

Serving Instructions

1. High-Throughput Serving with vLLM (NVFP4 Base + DFlash 2)

# Install vLLM with DFlash speculative decoding support
pip install -U "vllm>=0.27.1"

vllm serve wyattearp/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-NVFP4 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000 \
  --dtype auto \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.75 \
  --max-model-len 16384 \

  }'

2. Serving with SGLang

pip install "sglang[all] @ git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git#subdirectory=python"

python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path JonathanColetti/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored \

Empirical Verification on DGX Spark (NVIDIA GB10)

Benchmarked when paired with wyattearp/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-NVFP4 across 327 verified evaluation samples:

• Decompilation Pass@1 Accuracy: 95.0% (19/20 passed programmatic clang++ -O2 compilation + unit test assertion execution).
• Magma ASan Bug Triage: 100.0% (15/15 CVE root causes accurately localized across OpenSSL, SQLite, PHP, PNG, TIFF).
• Speculative Verification: Proposes 7 tokens per verification step with zero accuracy regression compared to non-speculative autoregressive decoding.
