DeepSeek-R1 - SGLang Documentation

This page focuses on optimal configuration and benchmark results for DeepSeek-R1 on the Ascend NPU. For environment setup, model weight download, feature configuration, and deployment instructions, etc., see the DeepSeek-R1 Model Tutorial.On A3 each card has 2 dies, so --tp-size is twice the card count; see Ascend NPU Reference for details.
