+On Metal, `ds4-server --batched-session N` decodes the slots together. Work that
 only reads weights runs once for the whole batch, while the delta-net
 recurrence, the attention caches and the n-gram convolution stay per session.
 The slots also share one prefill workspace, so an extra slot costs its caches
 rather than another few GiB of transients. As with the other natively batched
 models, grouping changes the order of floating point reductions, so a batched
 reply can differ from the same prompt decoded alone.
+Add `--mtp` to use batched speculative decoding as well. The server accepts
