When does this happen?

IF Pre-built vllm wheels for gpt-oss only support sm90/sm100 (Hopper GPUs), causing failures on Ampere (A100, RTX 3090) and Ada Lovelace (L40s) GPUs.

How others solved it

THEN Build vllm from source using the instructions in PR #22259, reinstall triton==3.4.0, and set the environment variable VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=TRITON_ATTN_VLLM_V1. Note that even with this workaround, inference may fail with a CUDA kernel image error; official support is not yet available for these architectures.

cd vllm && uv pip install -U -e . --verbose --no-build-isolation && uv pip install triton==3.4.0 && VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=TRITON_ATTN_VLLM_V1 vllm serve openai/gpt-oss-120b --tensor-parallel-size 2 --async-scheduling
