**Editorial Brief**
The post titled “How do I use MTP?” on r/LocalLLaMA discusses a user’s experience attempting to utilize the MTP (Multipart Text Processing) feature with LLaMa. The key issue highlighted is that running `llama-cli` with the `–spec-type mtp` flag results in an error due to the absence of a draft model, which is required for this speculative decoding type.
**Takeaways:**
– **Missing Draft Model**: Users are encountering issues because they lack a compatible draft model when trying to use MTP.
– **Flag Misunderstanding**: The command line suggests that `–spec-type mtp` requires a draft model, but the user did not have one available. This discrepancy led to an error message indicating unknown speculative decoding types without a draft model.
– **Documentation Gap**: There seems to be a gap in documentation or examples provided for users who wish to use MTP with their models.
