Each known issue should have a related issue link

- The memory may be leaked and the service may be stuck after long time serving. This is a bug from torch-npu, we'll upgrade and fix it soon.
- The accuracy of qwen2.5 VL is not very good. This is a bug lead by CANN, we fix it soon.
- For long sequence input case, there is no response sometimes and the kv cache usage is become higher. This is a bug for scheduler. We are working on it.
- Qwen2-audio doesn't work by default, we're fixing it. Temporary solution is to set `--gpu-memory-utilization` to a suitable value, such as 0.8.
- When running Qwen3-Next with expert parallel enabled, please set `HCCL_BUFFSIZE` environment variable to a suitable value, such as 1024.
- The accuracy of DeepSeek3.2 with aclgraph is not correct. Temporary solution is to set `cudagraph_capture_sizes` to a suitable value depending on the batch size for the input.
