Summary

Fix broken GPT-OSS vLLM installation instructions by replacing expired PyTorch nightly dependency with stable CUDA 12.8 wheel.

Motivation

Fixes openai#2330
The Quick Setup section in articles/gpt-oss/run-vllm.md referenced a PyTorch nightly build (torch==2.9.0.dev*) that is no longer available from PyTorch's nightly index. This caused dependency resolution failures when users followed the installation instructions:
No solution found when resolving dependencies: Because there is no version of torch==2.9.0.dev20250804+cu128...

This change:

  • Removes the nightly PyTorch dependency
  • Installs stable PyTorch 2.9.0 (CUDA 12.8) via direct wheel URL
  • Documents Python, CUDA, driver, and GPU requirements upfront
  • Adds a rationale note explaining why stable PyTorch is used
    Verification:
  • PyTorch wheel URL confirmed available (HTTP 200, 900MB)
  • vLLM GPT-OSS wheel index confirmed accessible
  • Installation flow validated by community reports in vLLM installation instructions outdated - PyTorch nightly build no longer available openai/openai-cookbook#2330
  • Full E2E verification requires CUDA hardware (not available on macOS)
