  • [Experimental] Atlas 300I inference series (Atlas 300I Duo) Currently for 310I Duo, the stable version is vllm-ascend v0.10.0rc1

使用容器设置环境#

# Update DEVICE according to your device (/dev/davinci[0-7])
export DEVICE=/dev/davinci0
# Update the vllm-ascend image
export IMAGE=quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:v0.11.0
docker run --rm \
--name vllm-ascend \
--device $DEVICE \

默认的工作目录是 /workspace，vLLM 和 vLLM Ascend 代码被放置在 /vllm-workspace，并以开发模式（pip install -e）安装，以便开发者能够即时生效更改，而无需重新安装。

用法#

你可以使用 Modelscope 镜像来加速下载：

export VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=true

在昇腾 NPU 上启动 vLLM 有两种方式：

安装了 vLLM 后，您可以开始为一系列输入提示生成文本（即离线批量推理）。

尝试直接运行下面的 Python 脚本，或者使用 python3 交互式命令行来生成文本：

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Hello, my name is",
    "The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
# The first run will take about 3-5 mins (10 MB/s) to download models
llm = LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B")

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

vLLM can also be deployed as a server that implements the OpenAI API protocol. Run the following command to start the vLLM server with the Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B model:

# Deploy vLLM server (The first run will take about 3-5 mins (10 MB/s) to download models)
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B &

If you see a log as below:

INFO:     Started server process [3594]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

恭喜，你已经成功启动了 vLLM 服务器！

You can query the list of models:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/models | python3 -m json.tool

你也可以通过输入提示来查询模型：

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
        "prompt": "Beijing is a",
        "max_tokens": 5,
        "temperature": 0
    }' | python3 -m json.tool

vLLM is serving as a background process, you can use kill -2 $VLLM_PID to stop the background process gracefully, which is similar to Ctrl-C for stopping the foreground vLLM process:

  VLLM_PID=$(pgrep -f "vllm serve")
  kill -2 "$VLLM_PID"

The output is as below:

INFO:     Shutting down FastAPI HTTP server.
INFO:     Shutting down
INFO:     Waiting for application shutdown.
INFO:     Application shutdown complete.

Finally, you can exit the container by using ctrl-D.
