Ornstein 9B v2.5 — NSC-ACE · GGUF

llama.cpp GGUF builds of DJLougen/Ornstein-9Bv2.5-NSC-ACE (text decoder). The MTP draft head is embedded in every file (blk.32.nextn.*) — enable speculative decoding with --spec-type draft-mtp (llama.cpp b9940+), no separate draft model needed.

File	Quant	Size	Notes
`Ornstein-9Bv2.5-NSC-ACE-Q4_K_M.gguf`	Q4_K_M	5.8 GB	smallest, good default
`Ornstein-9Bv2.5-NSC-ACE-Q5_K_M.gguf`	Q5_K_M	6.6 GB	balanced

llama-server -hf DJLougen/Ornstein-9Bv2.5-NSC-ACE-GGUF:Q8_0 -ngl 99 --spec-type draft-mtp

Measured on an RTX 3090 at Q8_0 with --spec-type draft-mtp: 67.6 → 100.7 tok/s on code (+49%), 90.6 → 110.9 tok/s on prose (+22%) vs. non-speculative on the same build.

Sample with temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20 (Qwen3.5 reasoning defaults). Hermes-style <tools> tool calling works via the embedded chat template. See the main repo for recipe, evaluation, and caveats.
