MiniMax M2.7 DFlash GGUF

GGUF quantizations of z-lab DFlash draft model for MiniMax M2.7.

Use with BeeLlama.cpp, a llama.cpp fork with advanced quantization features.

> Conversion note: The gated z-lab checkpoint was not downloadable during conversion. These GGUFs were converted from the compatible public NVIDIA/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash checkpoint.

MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash

Paper | GitHub | Blog

DFlash is a speculative decoding method that uses a lightweight block diffusion model to draft multiple tokens in parallel. This is the drafter model, which must be paired with MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7.

Quick Start

Installation

vLLM:

Check out vLLM issue #46105.

SGLang:

uv pip install "git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git#subdirectory=python"

Launch Server

vLLM:

Check out vLLM issue #46105.

SGLang:

python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 \
  --tp-size 4 \
  --speculative-algorithm DFLASH \
  --speculative-draft-model-path z-lab/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash \
  --attention-backend trtllm_mha \
  --speculative-draft-attention-backend fa4 \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.8 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 30000

Usage

For SGLang, use port 30000.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1", api_key="EMPTY")

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a quicksort in Python."}],
    max_tokens=4096,
    temperature=0.0,
    extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True}},
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Benchmark Results

Setup: 4 NVIDIA B200 GPUs per server/run, SGLang, tensor parallel size 4, target attention backend trtllm_mha, draft attention backend fa4, thinking enabled, max output length 4096, greedy decoding. Concurrency 1 uses 128 prompts; concurrency 32 uses 1024 prompts.
