Steps to Deploy Qwen3-30B-A3B on Hyperstack

Now, let's walk through the step-by-step process of deploying Qwen3-30B-A3B on Hyperstack.

Step 1: Accessing Hyperstack

  1. Go to the Hyperstack website and log in to your account.
  2. If you're new to Hyperstack, you'll need to create an account and set up your billing information. Check our documentation to get started with Hyperstack.
  3. Once logged in, you'll be greeted by the Hyperstack dashboard, which provides an overview of your resources and deployments.

Step 2: Deploying a New Virtual Machine

Initiate Deployment

  1. Look for the "Deploy New Virtual Machine" button on the dashboard.
  2. Click it to start the deployment process.

Select Hardware Configuration

  1. In the hardware options, choose the "1×NVIDIA A100" flavour. 

Choose the Operating System

  1. Select the "Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS R550 CUDA 12.4 with Docker". 

Select a keypair

  1. Select one of the keypairs in your account. Don't have a keypair yet? See our Getting Started tutorial for creating one.

Network Configuration

  1. Ensure you assign a Public IP to your Virtual machine.
  2. This allows you to access your VM from the internet, which is crucial for remote management and API access.

Enable SSH Access

  1. Make sure to enable an SSH connection.
  2. You'll need this to connect and manage your VM securely.

Configure Additional Settings

  1. Look for an "Additional Settings" or "Advanced Options" section.
  2. Here, you'll find a field for cloud-init scripts. This is where you'll paste the initialisation script. Click here to get the cloud-init script! 

Please note: this cloud-init script will only enable the API  once for demo-ing purposes. For production environments, consider using containerization (e.g. Docker), secure connections, secret management, and monitoring for your API.

Review and Deploy

  1. Double-check all your settings.
  2. Click the "Deploy" button to launch your virtual machine.

Step 3: Initialisation and Setup

After deploying your VM, the cloud-init script will begin its work. This process typically takes about 5-10 minutes. During this time, the script performs several crucial tasks:

  1. Dependencies Installation: Installs all necessary libraries and tools required to run Qwen3-30B-A3B.
  2. Model Download: Fetches the Qwen3-30B-A3B model files from the specified repository.

While waiting, you can prepare your local environment for SSH access and familiarise yourself with the Hyperstack dashboard.

Step 4: Accessing Your VM

Once the initialisation is complete, you can access your VM:

Locate SSH Details

  1. In the Hyperstack dashboard, find your VM's details.
  2. Look for the public IP address, which you will need to connect to your VM with SSH.

Connect via SSH

  1. Open a terminal on your local machine.
  2. Use the command ssh -i [path_to_ssh_key] [os_username]@[vm_ip_address] (e.g: ssh -i /users/username/downloads/keypair_hyperstack ubuntu@0.0.0.0.0)
  3. Replace username and ip_address with the details provided by Hyperstack.

Interacting with Qwen3-30B-A3B

To access and experiment with Qwen3-30B-A3B, SSH into your machine after completing the setup. If you are having trouble connecting with SSH, watch our recent platform tour video (at 4:08) for a demo. Once connected, use this API call on your machine to start using the Qwen3-30B-A3B:

MODEL_NAME="Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B"
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "'$MODEL_NAME'",
        "messages": [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Hi, how to write a Python function that prints \"Hyperstack is the greatest GPU Cloud platform\""
            }
        ]
    }

Troubleshooting Qwen3-30B-A3B

Step 5: Hibernating Your VM

When you're finished with your current workload, you can hibernate your VM to avoid incurring unnecessary costs:

  1. In the Hyperstack dashboard, locate your Virtual machine.
  2. Look for a "Hibernate" option.
  3. Click to hibernate the VM, which will stop billing for compute resources while preserving your setup.
