When does this happen?
IF Error 'Unexpected token X while expecting start token Y' during tool calling with vLLM and OpenAI-compatible clients.
How others solved it
THEN Ensure the model tokenizer includes the correct special token for tool calls (e.g., <|tool_call|>). If using a custom tokenizer, add the token and update the model config accordingly. Check vLLM issue #22519 for related discussions and potential fixes.
