When does this happen?

IF Loading a bitsandbytes 4-bit quantized Llama model (e.g., unsloth/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-bnb-4bit) in vLLM fails with KeyError for weight keys like 'layers.0.mlp.down_proj.weight.absmax'.

How others solved it

THEN Avoid using bitsandbytes 4-bit quantized models with vLLM versions prior to a fix. Instead, use a different quantization format (e.g., AWQ or GPTQ) or a non-quantized model. Monitor vLLM releases for patches addressing this incompatibility.
