Recommended action: Put vLLM usage under if __name__ == '__main__':, don't initialize CUDA before creating LLM, use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to select GPUs, or set VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn explicitly with a guard. Option: Add __main__ guard and avoid pre-initializing CUDA [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Offline vLLM API usage Steps: 1. Wrap code in if __name__ == '__main__': main() 2. Remove torch.cuda calls before LLM() 3. Select GPUs with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES Expected: Workers start Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
