When does this happen?

IF vLLM engine fails with 'No available memory for the cache blocks' error even when GPU memory is available, especially after upgrading to vLLM 0.2.5+ or running multiple models on the same GPU.

How others solved it

THEN Set `--gpu-memory-utilization` to 0.4 or lower, but note that vLLM may incorrectly attribute occupied memory to the current instance. Add `--enforce-eager` to disable CUDA graph execution (enabled by default since vLLM 0.2.6) to reduce memory overhead. Alternatively, apply the memory profiling fix from PR #2249.
