This applies on top of vllm-project#61573. An MTP verify step is wider than a plain decode, so the mono graph turned off. K1 stays on vLLM's GDN core, which can roll a rejected draft back. K2 stays on the fused MXFP4 feed-forward while the step fits the K2 cap. Quark MXFP4 checkpoints store mtp.* as BF16 under quantization_config.exclude, so those draft weights load unquantized.

Serve with speculative-config: {"method": "mtp", "num_speculative_tokens": 3} and VLLM_ROCM_MONO_DECODE=1. k=3 is the best combined geomean at TP1 and TP2. VL is highest at k=2.

MI355X, 20-config sweep per TP, versus the best Argos mono kernel with no speculative decoding. The k=1 column is from the earlier k=1 summary.

TP1. Mono kernel + MTP vs mono kernel

k=1 k=2 k=3 k=4
TP1 text, Mono+MTP over Mono +6.5% +11.3% +13.4% +10.9%
TP1 VL, Mono+MTP over Mono +4.5% +8.6% +8.0% +6.0%
TP1 combined, Mono+MTP over Mono +5.7% +10.2% +11.2% +8.9%

TP2. Mono kernel + MTP vs mono kernel

k=1 k=2 k=3 k=4
TP2 text, Mono+MTP over Mono +5.0% +10.6% +12.3% +9.5%
TP2 VL, Mono+MTP over Mono −0.7% +4.5% +3.3% +1.5%
TP2 combined, Mono+MTP over Mono +2.7% +8.1% +8.6% +6.2%

An MTP verify step is wider than a plain decode, so the mono graph turned off. Run K2 inside the row cap and load Quark MTP weights as BF16.
