The merged llamacpp/qwen27b-pi-reasoning-single docs claimed its embedded MTP
head was "~45% below base / weaker" — that was a power-cap measurement artifact,
not a model property. A matched-power A/B (230W, same engine/KV/n=2/prompt) shows
the head performs IDENTICALLY to the base Qwen3.6-27B MTP head: 73% vs 72% draft
acceptance, 41.2 vs 41.2 t/s. The base llamacpp/default 50.3/58.9 figure I
compared against is a 370W BENCHMARKS number; mainline is -42% from 370->230W, so
the comparison was only valid at matched power (cf. the ik-llama/iq4ks-mtp
BENCHMARKS row, which documents exactly this trap). The 28.5/33.4 decode numbers
are correct AS 230W measurements; at 370W this config matches base's 50/59.
Corrected the status_note, compose header, and weights manual_note.
