# Multi-Node-DP (Kimi-K2)

## Verify Multi-Node Communication Environment

Refer to [multi_node.md](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/multi_node.html#verification-process).

## Run with Docker
Assume you have two Atlas 800 A3 (64G*16) or four A2 nodes, and want to deploy the `Kimi-K2-Instruct-W8A8` quantitative model across multiple nodes.

```{code-block} bash
   :substitutions:
# Update the vllm-ascend image
export IMAGE=m.daocloud.io/quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:|vllm_ascend_version|
export NAME=vllm-ascend

# Run the container using the defined variables
# Note: If you are running bridge network with docker, please expose available ports for multiple nodes communication in advance
docker run --rm \
--name $NAME \
--net=host \
--shm-size=1g \
--device /dev/davinci0 \

```

Run the following scripts on two nodes respectively.

:::{note}
Before launching the inference server, ensure the following environment variables are set for multi-node communication.

The deployment view looks like:

Once your server is started, you can query the model with input prompts:

```shell
curl http://{ node0 ip:8004 }/v1/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "kimi",
        "prompt": "The future of AI is",
        "max_tokens": 50,
        "temperature": 0
    }'
```
