vllm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Support for 'transformers' 5.X version [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Update the vllm wheel to a version that supports transformers 5.X to resolve compatibility issues.

Guidance

• Check the vllm documentation for any upcoming releases that support transformers 5.X.
• Verify the current version of transformers installed in the project to confirm the version mismatch.
• Consider reaching out to the vllm community or maintainers to request an update or provide feedback on the desired version support.
• Review the project's dependencies to ensure no other packages are dependent on transformers 4.X, which could be affected by the update.

Notes

The solution relies on the assumption that a newer version of vllm will be released with support for transformers 5.X. If no such version is planned, alternative solutions may need to be explored.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for a newer vllm release that supports transformers 5.X, as updating to an incompatible version may introduce other issues.
