When does this happen?
IF When serving Qwen3 models with vLLM 0.9.0, if `enable_thinking=False` is set and a `guided_json` schema is provided, the model output is malformed JSON (extra braces, backticks, or gibberish). The bug occurs with both `xgrammar` and `guidance` backends.
How others solved it
THEN Set `enable_thinking=True` in the `chat_template_kwargs`, or append "/no_think" to the user prompt to bypass the thinking mode. Alternatively, avoid using the `qwen3` reasoning parser by not setting `--reasoning-parser qwen3`. For example: `extra_body={"guided_json": <schema>, "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True}}`.
client.chat.completions.create(
model="Qwen3-30B-A3B",
messages=message_list,
extra_body={
"guided_json": TypeAdapter(list[str]).json_schema(),
"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True}
}
