  description: "Best Practice for DeepSeek-V3.2 on Ascend NPU"
---

<Note>
This page focuses on optimal configuration and benchmark results for DeepSeek-V3.2 on the Ascend NPU. For environment setup, model weight download, feature configuration, and deployment instructions, etc., see the [DeepSeek-V3.2 Model Tutorial](/docs/hardware-platforms/ascend-npus/model-tutorials/deepseek_v3_2).

On A3 each card has 2 dies, so `--tp-size` is twice the card count; see [Ascend NPU Reference](/docs/hardware-platforms/ascend-npus/ascend_npu_reference#hardware) for details.

#### Benchmark

We tested it based on the `RANDOM` dataset.

```bash Command
python -m sglang.bench_serving \
    --dataset-name random \
    --backend sglang \
    --host 127.0.0.1 \
    --port 6688 \
    --max-concurrency 8 \
    --random-input-len 131072 \
    --random-output-len 1024 \
    --num-prompts 8 \
    --random-range-ratio 1
