Problem Description Symptoms and Impact After upgrading the Docker image to CUDA 12.4, vLLM v0.6.3 started emitting malformed JSON for function‑calling prompts. The downstream FastAPI gateway receives a truncated or syntactically invalid JSON payload, which triggers json.JSONDecodeError exceptions and causes request drops. Log snippet from a worker thread: INFO vllm.engine.output_parser – Received partial JSON: {“name”: “search”, “parameters”: … Read more
