Outlines's cache not reusable across vllm startup

Open Lap1n opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the issue as clearly as possible:

When using vllm and outlines, when running it from a VM, it seems that the diskcache functionality is not working correctly. Every time the server is startup, it doesn't seem to be able to reuse the previously computed FSM cache.

One way that can fix this issue is to serialize the cache key object as a string. The changes can be found in this PR that I submitted.

Steps/code to reproduce the bug:

- Start vllm server
- send a request
- FSM computation happens
- Stops and relaunch the server
- send a request
- FSM computation still happens

Expected result:

- Start vllm server
- send a request
- FSM computation happens
- Stops and relaunch the server
- send a request
- FSM computation does not happens as it is already in the cache
