User optimizes Qwen3.8 Flash-Next on Huawei Ascend hardware

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user has successfully optimized the Qwen3.8 Flash-Next model for inference on a custom hardware setup featuring two Huawei Ascend 310P3 cards, each with 48 GB of memory. This configuration, initially struggling with coherence and speed, now achieves approximately 30-61 tokens per second. The user detailed their work on the software stack, including modifications to vLLM and its Ascend integration, to overcome challenges related to driver support, memory layout, and custom operators.
