Purpose

Fixes #43549.

Add an Ascend NPU installation tab to the main quickstart so users can discover the vLLM Ascend path from the same place as CUDA, ROCm, TPU, and Apple Silicon.

The entry intentionally links to the vLLM Ascend quick start instead of duplicating the full setup steps, because the Ascend instructions depend on NPU hardware, CANN/driver versions, Docker images, and source-install details that are maintained in the vLLM Ascend docs.

Test Plan

  • git diff --check
  • pre-commit run markdownlint-cli2 --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md
  • pre-commit run typos --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md
  • pre-commit run --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md attempted

Test Result

  • git diff --check: passed
  • pre-commit run markdownlint-cli2 --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md: passed
  • pre-commit run typos --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md: passed
  • pre-commit run --files docs/getting_started/quickstart.md: failed while installing the actionlint hook because Go dependencies could not be downloaded from proxy.golang.org in my local environment. This PR only changes Markdown, and the Markdown-specific checks above passed.

Code Review

This pull request updates the quickstart documentation by adding a new section for Huawei Ascend NPUs. It provides links to the vLLM Ascend hardware plugin repository and its specific installation and troubleshooting documentation. I have no feedback to provide as there were no review comments to evaluate.

There is a PR (#43550) before your PR, would you mind closing this and help to review #43550 ?

Thanks for taking a look. I re-checked the failing ReadTheDocs status on this PR: it came from an earlier docs/pre_run_check.sh run while the PR did not yet have the ready/verified gate satisfied. After ready was added, the GitHub pre-run-check and pre-commit jobs passed, but the old ReadTheDocs status stayed red.

Since #43550 was opened first and covers the same quickstart improvement, I agree this PR is duplicate. Closing this one to keep the review focused there.

Closing as duplicate of #43550, which was opened first and is the maintainer-preferred PR for this documentation improvement.
