When does this happen?

IF When using vLLM V1 engine with Flash Attention backend, a NotImplementedError occurs during engine initialization due to missing get_state_cls.

How others solved it

THEN Disable the V1 engine by setting the environment variable VLLM_USE_V1=0 before launching vLLM. Alternatively, switch to a different attention backend (e.g., triton_attn may have same issue) or wait for a library fix.

export VLLM_USE_V1=0
# then start vLLM as usual
