-        Whether to use OpenAI-compatible API server mode (subprocess) instead of native engine.
-        Default is False (uses native engine).
-        Set to True for backward compatibility with existing code.
-    debug: bool
-        Whether to turn on verbose debugging logs.
-    card_refresh_interval: int
-        Interval in seconds for refreshing the vLLM status card.
-        Only used when openai_api_server=True.
-    max_retries: int
-        Maximum number of retries checking for vLLM server startup.
-        Only used when openai_api_server=True.
-    retry_alert_frequency: int
-        Frequency of alert logs for vLLM server startup retries.
-        Only used when openai_api_server=True.

-        Additional keyword arguments to pass to the vLLM engine.
-        For example, `tensor_parallel_size=2`.

+    Specifies a timeout for your step.
     
-    Information in this decorator will augment any
-    attributes set in the `@pyi_base` flow-level decorator. Hence,
-    you can use `@pypi_base` to set packages required by all
-    steps and use `@pypi` to specify step-specific overrides.
+    This decorator is useful if this step may hang indefinitely.
     
+    This can be used in conjunction with the `@retry` decorator as well as the `@catch` decorator.
+    A timeout is considered to be an exception thrown by the step. It will cause the step to be
+    retried if needed and the exception will be caught by the `@catch` decorator, if present.
     
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    packages : Dict[str, str], default: {}
-        Packages to use for this step. The key is the name of the package
-        and the value is the version to use.
-    python : str, optional, default: None
-        Version of Python to use, e.g. '3.7.4'. A default value of None implies
-        that the version used will correspond to the version of the Python interpreter used to start the run.
