# Qwen3-32B

<Note>
  This page focuses on optimal configuration and benchmark results for Qwen3-32B on the Ascend NPU. For environment setup, model weight download, feature configuration, and deployment instructions, etc., see the [Qwen3-32B Model Tutorial](/docs/hardware-platforms/ascend-npus/model-tutorials/qwen3_32b).

  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.
