When does this happen?

IF Using vLLM version 0.8.5 with gemma-3 models produces whitespace or incoherent output.

How others solved it

THEN Downgrade to vLLM 0.8.4 (which works correctly) or upgrade to a nightly build after 2025-05-06. The nightly can be installed via: pip install -U vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly. This resolves the regression introduced in 0.8.5.

pip install -U vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly
