# Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct

> Use Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct with NeMo AutoModel for language model fine-tuning, with documented checkpoints, runnable recipes, setup, and model reference details.

Qwen3-Next is an advanced MoE language model from Alibaba Cloud's Qwen team designed for high-throughput inference with large total parameter counts and efficient per-token activation.

Set up NeMo AutoModel with the [latest container](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/nemo-automodel) or follow the [installation instructions](/get-started/installation).

## Fine-Tune Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct

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

From the repository root, run:

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