I'm unable to access the port when running inference on Qwen3.5-9B with vLLM v0.18. It hangs without throwing any errors, but switching to v0.17 works fine.

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/models curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8000 after 1 ms: Couldn't connect to server

(APIServer pid=6112) INFO: Started server process [6112] (APIServer pid=6112) INFO: Waiting for application startup. (APIServer pid=6112) INFO: Application startup complete.

How would you like to use vllm

I want to run inference of a qwen3.5-9b. I don't know how to integrate it with vllm.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Downgrade to vLLM v0.17 as a temporary workaround to resolve the connection issue with Qwen3.5-9B.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be specific to vLLM v0.18, as switching to v0.17 resolves the problem, indicating a potential version-specific bug.
  • Verify that the server is correctly configured and running by checking the logs for any error messages or startup issues.
  • Try to isolate the problem by testing other models or versions to see if the issue is specific to Qwen3.5-9B and v0.18.
  • Check the documentation and release notes for v0.18 to see if there are any known issues or changes that could be causing the problem.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but downgrading to v0.17 provides a temporary solution. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause and find a permanent fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to v0.17, as it is known to work with Qwen3.5-9B, allowing for temporary continued use while the issue with v0.18 is investigated.
