Qwen3.5-397B

This page focuses on optimal configuration and benchmark results for Qwen3.5-397B on the Ascend NPU. For environment setup, model weight download, feature configuration, and deployment instructions, etc., see the Qwen3.5-397B Model Tutorial.

On A3 each card has 2 dies, so --tp-size is twice the card count; see Ascend NPU Reference for details.

Benchmark

We tested it based on the generated-shared-prefix dataset with 90% cache hit (repeat_rate = 0.9): --gsp-system-prompt-len 117964 = int(131072 * 0.9) is the shared prefix portion. --gsp-question-len 13107 = int(131072 * (1 - 0.9)) is the unique per-request suffix. --gsp-num-groups 1 keeps all requests in one prefix group for maximum cache reuse.

Benchmark

We tested it based on the generated-shared-prefix dataset with 90% cache hit (repeat_rate = 0.9): --gsp-system-prompt-len 58982 = int(65536 * 0.9) is the shared prefix portion. --gsp-question-len 6553 = int(65536 * (1 - 0.9)) is the unique per-request suffix. --gsp-num-groups 1 keeps all requests in one prefix group for maximum cache reuse.
