Same issue with mistral-nemo-instruct-2407 and llama31-8b-instruct.

I will release a new version once this is fixed... @dtrifiro I think this is due to the fact I hard coded version in setup.py's so no _version.py is generated. Is that correct?

def get_vllm_version() -> str:
    return "0.6.3." # i did this, which skipped _version.py writing. 
    version = get_version(
        write_to="vllm/_version.py",  # TODO: move this to pyproject.toml
    )

I don’t know if the following is the same problem?
When I tried to compile locally, I found that the final wheel package, or pip Install -e . showed that the version of vllm was not 0.6.3, but vllm-0.1.3.dev2745+g79799263.d20241016.cu123-cp310-cp310- linux_x86_64.whl

@lixiaolx you can fetch tags using git fetch --tags and then the verison installed with pip install -e . will report the correct version. You can also check that it's correct by running pip install setuptools-scm; python -m setuptools_scm

@simon-mo yes, that's the reason why this is happening.

I will make a patch release once #9375 merged

I use the following command to solve this issue:

pip install "vllm>=0.4.3,<0.6.4"
