## Try with NeMo AutoModel

**1. Install** ([full instructions](/get-started/installation)):

```bash
pip install nemo-automodel
```

**2. Clone the repo** to get the example recipes:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Automodel.git
cd Automodel
```

This recipe was validated on **4 nodes × 8 GPUs (32 H100s)**. See the [Launcher Guide](/job-launchers/slurm-cluster) for multi-node setup.

**3. Run the recipe** from inside the repo:

```bash
automodel --nproc-per-node=8 examples/llm_finetune/qwen/qwen3_next_te_deepep.yaml
```

**1. Pull the container** and mount a checkpoint directory:

```bash
docker run --gpus all -it --rm \
  --shm-size=8g \
  -v $(pwd)/checkpoints:/opt/Automodel/checkpoints \
  nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo-automodel:26.06.00
```

**2.** Navigate to the AutoModel directory (where the recipes are):

```bash
cd /opt/Automodel
```

**3. Run the recipe**:

```bash
automodel --nproc-per-node=8 examples/llm_finetune/qwen/qwen3_next_te_deepep.yaml
```
