When does this happen?

IF vLLM raises 'assert self.quant_method is not None' when loading a bitsandbytes quantized Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model such as Llama-4-Scout.

How others solved it

THEN Switch to a different quantization method (e.g., AWQ) that vLLM supports for MoE architectures, or wait for a vLLM update that adds FusedMoE kernels for bitsandbytes. Currently, vLLM lacks a FusedMoE kernel for bitsandbytes, causing the loading failure.
