[r/LocalLLaMA] Through vibe coding, I managed to make parts of vLLM 0.17.0 run on Tesla P40

Summary

A user successfully modified vLLM 0.17.0 to run on a Tesla P40 GPU, enabling real-time lecture transcription with the Qwen3 ASR 1.7B model. This was achieved through "vibe coding" with Codex, overcoming vLLM's native incompatibility with the Pascal architecture. This practical hack extends the utility of older hardware for modern AI inference tasks.
