When does this happen?

IF vLLM Docker container fails at startup with RuntimeError: Failed to infer device type and logs show 'UnspecifiedPlatform' on GCP GPU instances (e.g., L4, H100).

How others solved it

THEN Ensure the container runtime is configured to expose NVIDIA GPU devices. For Docker, use `--gpus all` or set the default runtime to 'nvidia'. For Kubernetes, ensure the NVIDIA device plugin is installed and the pod requests `nvidia.com/gpu` resources. Also verify that `nvidia-smi` works inside the container to confirm CUDA availability.

docker run --gpus all -e VLLM_LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG vllm/vllm-openai:v0.9.0
