The recommended fully quantized target checkpoint for 1.5.0 is
`QUASAR-QAT/Qwen3.8-27B-QUASAR-NVFP4`. Its fresh-wheel TP4 release gate reaches
**17.645 ms per warmed complete round**, **4,038.5 tok/s at 32K prefill**, and
**3,596.5 tok/s at 64K prefill**. This checkpoint has a distinct all-NVFP4
layout, so these results are reported separately from the earlier mixed-NVFP4
206 tok/s workload above

The official draft checkpoint declares block size 8 and selector top-K 16, so
the runtime resolves seven speculative tokens automatically when the width is
omitted. Target E5M2 KV is a validated example, not a global DFlash2
requirement. TP degree, KV dtype, scheduler capacity, and prefill chunk size do
not globally disable DFlash2; individual optimized operators still retain
their own exact local admission contracts.
