nvidia/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 outputs repeated "!" / "d" tokens on Blackwell SM120

I am seeing degenerate generation with nvidia/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell SM120 using vLLM.

The model loads successfully, but even a minimal prompt like:

"Responde exactamente con la palabra: OK"

returns repeated tokens such as:

"d d d d d d d d d d"

or repeated exclamation marks.

Same server and GPU work correctly with unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4.

Hardware:

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition
  • Compute capability: 12.0
  • CUDA: 13.0
  • VRAM: 96 GB

vLLM:

  • Tested with vllm/vllm-openai:nightly
  • Also tested cu130-nightly
  • Required --quantization modelopt_fp4 to load

Minimal command and logs available if needed.

Confirm this but only on nightly build. On release 0.24.0 works well

Update: I can confirm this issue only happens on the vLLM nightly build.

When using vllm/vllm-openai:nightly, nvidia/Qwen3.6-27B-NVFP4 produces degenerate outputs such as repeated ! or repeated d tokens.

However, with the stable vLLM release 0.24.0, the model works correctly.

So this appears to be a vLLM nightly regression rather than a model weight issue.

Same issue with both vllm==0.24.0 and the newest vllm-nightly.

The problem should be solved now in the latest vllm/vllm-openai:v0.25.1.

same issue with vllm/vllm-openai:v0.25.1

Multi-GPU ? Add argument "--disable-custom-all-reduce"
