📚 The doc issue

Looking at https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/serving/env_vars.html for VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND:

  • "FLASH_ATTN": use FlashAttention

This leaves me wondering if it's flash attention 1 or 2.

Suggest a potential alternative/fix

Appending this description with a 1 or 2, such as:

  • "FLASH_ATTN": use FlashAttention-2
