Accelerating Gemma 4: faster inference with multi-token prediction drafters

Google introduces Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for Gemma 4, achieving up to 3x speedup via speculative decoding without quality loss. The lightweight drafters predict multiple tokens, verified in parallel by the main model, reducing latency for edge, workstation, and cloud deployments. Available under Apache 2.0.
