vLLM patched native-Windows wheels

This release ships two wheels to cover both NVIDIA generations on
native Windows:

Wheel vLLM torch / CUDA GPUs Notes
vllm-0.19.0+devnen.1-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl 0.19.0 torch 2.7 / cu126 RTX 30/40 series (Ampere/Ada, sm_86/sm_89) Repackages SystemPanic/vllm-windows 0.19.0 with the three Windows patches listed below.
vllm-0.20.0+cu132.devnen.1-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl 0.20.0 torch 2.9 / cu132 RTX 50 series (Blackwell, sm_120) Driver 596+ required. Built against CUDA 13. End-users get the runtime via the qwen3.6-windows-server launcher's auto-built cuda13_shim.

Pick the one matching your GPU. Python 3.12, win_amd64 only.

What's patched (vs upstream vLLM)

  1. CPU-relay for Gloo collectives. Windows has no NCCL. PP/TP collectives hang or 0xC0000005 on CUDA tensors. Patches parallel_state.py, cuda_communicator.py, base_device_communicator.py, and gpu_worker.py to stage through pinned CPU buffers when os.name == "nt".
  2. Qwen3 reasoning parser fix. Mirror of upstream PR #35687.
  3. Hardwired wildcard model name. OpenAIModelRegistry.is_base_model always returns True; clients no longer need to match --served-model-name.
