+# Qwen3-30B-A3B fine-tuning with HybridEP token dispatch.
+#
+# HybridEP fuses permutation, communication, and expert permutation into
+# a single step, reducing kernel-launch overhead compared to DeepEP.
+#
+# To run this recipe:
+#   automodel examples/llm_finetune/qwen/qwen3_moe_30b_te_hybridep.yaml --nproc-per-node 8
+# Adjust --nproc-per-node to the number of GPUs available on your machine.
