* Resolve the transformers tier by probing AutoConfig instead of guessing
When the only signal is a 5.x tokenizer class, get_transformers_tier guessed the
lowest 5.x sidecar (530). That misroutes models whose built-in config parser needs
a higher tier: dense NemotronH ships a 5.x tokenizer but its '-' (MLP) layer only
transformers 5.10 can parse, so 5.3/5.5 raise KeyError '-'. The config.json
transformers_version field records the saving version, not the minimum to load, so
it cannot drive routing either.
Replace the weak tokenizer->530 guesses (local and remote) with a probe: parse
config.json with the built-in parser (trust_remote_code=False) in each sidecar,
escalating 530->550->510, and pick the first that succeeds. This generalizes to any
architecture without hardcoded lists. Strong signals stay fast paths (no subprocess);
the probe runs only when the tier is otherwise ambiguous and is cached by (model,
commit sha). It never executes repo code, never downloads weights, never raises, and
falls back to the legacy 530 guess on a transient/auth/offline failure or when no
sidecar is available. UNSLOTH_DISABLE_TIER_PROBE restores the old behavior.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address review: tier probe fallbacks and cross-platform robustness
Codex:
- Never escalate to 510 on uncertainty. When every sidecar was probed and none
parsed with the built-in parser, the model is a remote-code / custom model_type
that loads via its own code; keep the legacy 530 route instead of jumping to
510 (which would change the behavior of models that worked on the 5.3 stack).
- Only cache the 530 fallback when the result is conclusive (every tier actually
probed). If a sidecar was missing/uninstallable the environment is incomplete,
so return 530 uncached and retry on the next call.
- Do not pin the tier cache under an unknown revision: _resolve_commit_sha no
longer memoizes a None sha (a transient Hub failure is retried), and _probe_tier
only caches a tier when the commit sha is known.
Gemini:
- Wrap Path.exists() in the sha resolver in try/except OSError (a remote repo id
can raise WinError 123 on Windows).
- Probe script writes the error to sys.stderr.buffer as UTF-8 bytes so a non-ASCII
message cannot itself raise UnicodeEncodeError under cp1252.
- subprocess.run decodes stderr with errors="replace" to avoid UnicodeDecodeError
on non-UTF-8 consoles.
Tests: 72 passed (added partial-sidecar uncached, sha-unresolved not cached,
all-failed stays 530 + cached, sha resolver retries None / handles OSError).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address review round 2: authenticate tier checks, stop memoizing local sigs
Codex:
- Thread hf_token through _check_config_needs_510/550 and
_check_tokenizer_config_needs_v5 (and the underlying raw fetches). Previously a
gated/private model whose only 5.x signal is tokenizer_config.json never reached
the authenticated probe: the unauthenticated raw fetch failed and cached False,
so the model fell through to the default 4.x tier. The per-check caches are now
keyed by (model, token) so an unauthenticated miss cannot poison a later authed
read, mirroring _load_config_json.
- _resolve_commit_sha no longer memoizes a local directory signature. A local
signature is mutable (size/mtime of config/tokenizer), so a reused/overwritten
checkpoint path would otherwise keep selecting the previous tier; it is now
recomputed every call. Only the immutable remote commit sha is memoized.
Tests: 75 passed (added token-cache isolation + auth header, local signature not
memoized, token threaded into all checks/probe).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address review round 3: reach activation with the token, drop SHA tier cache
Codex round 3:
- Thread hf_token into the activation path that actually selects a sidecar. The
token-aware tier checks added last round were unreachable:
activate_transformers_for_subprocess called get_transformers_tier without a
token, and the inference/training/export workers passed only the model name even
though they hold a request-scoped hf_token. activate_transformers_for_subprocess
now takes hf_token and the three workers forward config["hf_token"], so a
gated/private model whose only 5.x signal is an authenticated config/tokenizer is
routed to the right sidecar instead of falling to default 4.x.
- Stop importing huggingface_hub during tier detection. _probe_tier no longer
resolves a commit sha, so it never pulls huggingface_hub into the worker before
the sidecar venv is prepended to sys.path (activation only prepends, never
purges), which would otherwise pin the default-env hub over the sidecar's
pinned huggingface_hub==1.8.0.
- The tier cache is now keyed by model_name for the process lifetime (a model's
required tier is a property of its architecture; cleared on restart). This drops
the mutable-SHA memo that masked remote revision changes and the mutable
local-signature memo, removing _resolve_commit_sha / _local_dir_signature /
_probe_sha_cache entirely.
- Do not cache a probe success that depended on a skipped lower tier: if a lower
sidecar was unavailable, the lowest valid tier may change once it installs, so
the result is returned uncached and re-probed next call.
Tests: 73 passed (probe imports no hub; success uncached when a lower tier is
skipped; activation forwards the token).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Trim comments to be more succinct
* Re-probe overwritten local checkpoints and authenticate the probe child
The AutoConfig tier probe cached its result under the bare model_name, so a
local checkpoint overwritten in place (same path, new config.json) kept serving
the stale sidecar. Fold a cheap config.json signature (size + mtime) into the
cache key for local paths; remote ids stay name-keyed so no huggingface_hub
import lands before the sidecar is activated.
The probe relies on the implicit HF_TOKEN env, so an inherited
HF_HUB_DISABLE_IMPLICIT_TOKEN=1 left it unauthenticated and a gated repo 401ed
into the 530 fail-safe. Clear that flag in the child env when a token is set.
* Keep tier probes off the log-only path and probe new 5.x archs default-first
- get_transformers_tier gains probe=True/False. needs_transformers_5 (a coarse
4-vs-5 boolean used only for a spawn log and a vision-check branch) now passes
probe=False, so a parent/log-only caller never spawns sidecar probes. The real
activation path keeps probe=True and resolves the exact tier in the worker.
- A config.json saved by transformers 5.x but matched by no fast path is now probed
default-first: _probe_tier gains include_default + floor, prepending the ambient
4.57.x tier to the escalation. A model that still parses on the default is left on
it (no mis-route onto a sidecar); only a config the default parser cannot read
escalates to the lowest 5.x tier that parses. The transformers_version field is a
cheap 'worth probing' hint only, read from the already-fetched config (no extra
network); ordinary 4.x configs never probe.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Separate probe cache by mode and keep version-field 5.x visible to needs_transformers_5
- _probe_tier cache was keyed only by config.json signature, so a default-first probe
that returned 'default' could be handed back to a later tokenizer/known-5.x caller
(floor=530), leaving a model with a 5.x-only tokenizer on transformers 4.x. Key the
cache by probe mode (floor + include_default); the legacy 530 mode keeps the bare key.
- The version-field 5.x detection is a cheap config read, not a probe, so run it even
when probe=False: a standard-tokenizer model whose only signal is transformers_version
>= 5 now classifies as 5.x via needs_transformers_5 (returns '530' without spawning a
probe), so the vision-routing fallback uses the 5.x subprocess instead of failing the
default parser and marking it non-vision. The real activation path still probes
default-first and may resolve 'default'.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Don't treat local checkpoints as Hub ids, and fix stale activation test double
- _load_config_json / _check_tokenizer_config_needs_v5: a local checkpoint dir whose
config.json / tokenizer_config.json is not yet present was being fetched from the Hub
as if the path were a repo id, and the 404 miss was cached. A later call after the
file is written (in-progress checkpoint) then served the stale miss, so a
TokenizersBackend checkpoint fell through to the default tier. Skip the Hub fetch for
local dirs and do not cache the miss, so the file is read once it appears.
- test_activate_transformers_version_or_warn_*: the worker now threads hf_token into
_activate_transformers_version (model_name, hf_token); update the one-arg test doubles
to the real two-arg signature so the silent-success path stays silent.
* Tighten comments in the AutoConfig probe and tier-selection paths
* Address review: canonical probe cache key and reuse _token_cache_key
- _probe_cache_key resolves config.json to its absolute realpath before
keying, so a relative path or a changed cwd can't collide with or miss a
prior probe result. Remote ids still fall back to the name (stat raises,
caught).
- _cached_config_json reuses _token_cache_key instead of re-hashing the
token inline, keeping the (model, token) key derivation in one place.

* Studio: persistent per-user trust_remote_code approval cache
The consent gate pins each approval to a content fingerprint (sha256 over every
repo .py), but nothing was persisted, so the dialog reappeared on every fresh
load of the same unchanged repo. This adds an on-disk, per-user approval cache
that lets the gate skip the dialog when the same user reloads the same code,
while keeping the safety guarantees intact.
Two-tier validation, both must hold or the user is re-prompted:
- Commit SHA (cheap, one HfApi.model_info().sha, no download): a match means a
byte-identical tree to the approved revision, so the scan/download is skipped.
- Content fingerprint (authoritative): used whenever the SHA is unavailable
(local path / offline) and always recomputed on a SHA miss. A new or edited
.py changes both the SHA and the fingerprint, so it is caught in every mode.
Safety:
- Keyed per subject; one user's approval never auto-runs code for another.
- CRITICAL is never stored or honored (guarded on both write and read), so a
hand-edited store cannot smuggle in an auto-approval.
- The malware (HF unsafe-file) gate stays unconditional.
- Fail-safe: a corrupt store, an unresolvable SHA, or any error degrades to
"ask again", never to "auto-approve". UNSLOTH_TRC_APPROVAL_CACHE_DISABLE=1
turns the cache off entirely.
New module utils/security/remote_code_approvals.py holds the store
(studio_root()/security/remote_code_approvals.json, atomic write, 0600, RLock)
plus the SHA resolvers. Recording happens at the single gate chokepoint when the
caller supplies the matching fingerprint, so subject is just threaded through
inference/training/export (orchestrators, routes, workers). The scan endpoint
returns already_approved so the frontend can skip the dialog on a cache hit.
Tests: new tests/test_trc_approval_cache.py covers cache miss, SHA-match skip,
SHA-moved re-scan, new-file re-consent, CRITICAL never cached (write + forged
read), disable flag, subject isolation, combined adapter+base key, corrupt
store, and no-subject bypass. Full security suite: 101 passed.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address review: make the approval cache skip only the prompt, never the scan
Codex found that the SHA "no-scan" fast path could run untrusted code without
re-consent. Removed it; the gate now always re-scans and the cache only seeds the
authoritative fingerprint check, so it can skip the dialog but never the scan.
- CRITICAL is hard-blocked on every load (the scan always runs), so a hand-edited
store that downgrades a CRITICAL repo's severity can no longer auto-run it
(P2: do not trust editable severity for SHA approvals).
- The fingerprint covers external auto_map repos, so changed third-party code
always re-prompts even when the primary commit SHA is unchanged; there is no
longer a SHA path that bypasses the fingerprint (P1: external auto_map repos).
- resolve_commit_sha is resolved fresh on every call (no memoization), so a repo
whose default branch moves after approval re-prompts instead of reusing a stale
cached SHA (P1: revalidate mutable Hub SHAs). The SHA is now only a conservative
secondary gate: a fresh resolvable SHA must match the approved revision, else the
seed is withheld; a None (local/offline) falls back to the fingerprint.
- Approvals record the scanner ruleset version (SCAN_RULES_VERSION); the gate
ignores approvals from an older ruleset so reclassified bytes are re-scanned and
re-shown instead of silently auto-approved (P2: invalidate on scan-policy change).
Tests: test_trc_approval_cache.py rewritten around the prompt-skip semantics
(unchanged repo still scans; SHA move / changed code / scanner-version bump /
disable flag all re-prompt; forged downgraded severity still blocks CRITICAL).
105 passed with test_consent_gate.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Trim comments to be more succinct
* Keep run-owner subject out of persisted config; serialize approval writes
Threading subject (the run owner's username / API-key id) into the training
config meant _sanitize_db_config persisted it into config_json, which
training-history GET returns to any authenticated user, leaking who started a run
in multi-user installs. Filter subject alongside the token fields; the worker
still receives it from the live config.
The approval store's RLock only guards one process, but approvals are recorded
from separate inference/export/training subprocesses, so concurrent writers could
clobber each other on os.replace and drop an approval (re-prompt). Hold a
best-effort cross-process file lock around the read-modify-write.
* Fail safe on a malformed approval store
A store with the right version but a non-dict shape (e.g. a hand-edited
"subjects": []) passed _load()'s check, then lookup chained .get() on a list and
raised, breaking every remote-code load until the file was removed. Validate that
subjects is a dict in _load(), and tolerate a non-dict per-subject entry in
lookup/record/forget, so a corrupt store fails safe (re-prompt) instead.
* Keep subject out of the MLX W&B run config
_run_mlx_training uploads the whole training config to W&B minus a sensitive set
that only listed hf_token/wandb_token/s3_config, so the authenticated subject
(username / API-key id) was sent to W&B as run config even though DB history
already strips it. Add subject to the W&B-sensitive filter, mirroring
training._sanitize_db_config.
* Tighten the W&B subject-filter comment

* Studio: log transformers version-switching decisions and stop swallowing MLX activation failures
Two logging gaps in dynamic transformers version switching (issue #6103):
1. get_transformers_tier returned a tier with no trace of why. Add an
info log at each decision point naming the model and the trigger
(which substring matched, or which config check fired), so a model
landing on the wrong tier is diagnosable.
2. The MLX fast-path in run_training_process activated the transformers
version inside a bare 'except Exception: pass', silently swallowing
failures while the non-MLX path reports them. A missing or broken
version venv (e.g. Gemma-4 needing 5.5.0) left no trace and only a
confusing downstream crash. Extract a small _activate_transformers_version_or_warn
helper that logs a warning on failure while keeping the non-fatal
fall-through, and call it from the MLX path.
Adds tier-selection logging tests and helper warn/silent tests.
* Studio: clarify path-prepend log, warn on venv version mismatch, log per-package install progress
Completes the remaining logging items of #6103 in studio/backend/utils/transformers_version.py:
- activate_transformers_for_subprocess: the early "Activated transformers X.X.X" line was misleading because at that point only the venv directory has been prepended to sys.path, not imported. It now says it prepended the venv to sys.path and notes the loaded version is confirmed later by "Subprocess loaded transformers ...".
- _venv_dir_is_valid: a detected version mismatch is logged at warning instead of info, since it immediately triggers a full venv wipe and reinstall that should be visible in the logs.
- _ensure_venv_dir: log each package as it starts installing with an N/M progress counter, so a slow runtime install is not mistaken for a hang (pip/uv output is piped and only surfaced on error).
Adds tests covering all three behaviours; pre-existing unused imports are left untouched.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: make tier log-capture tests independent of import order
The new issue #6103 caplog assertions in test_transformers_version.py
relied on the module-level sys.modules.setdefault("loggers", stub)
winning the import race. In a full backend pytest run another module
(for example test_log_filter_no_truncation, collected earlier) imports
the real loggers first, so the setdefault is a no-op and
transformers_version.logger becomes a structlog/stdout logger that
caplog cannot capture -- the tier, activation, venv-mismatch and
install-progress log assertions then fail even though the line was
emitted.
Bind a real stdlib logger to transformers_version.logger for the
duration of each test via an autouse fixture, so the module logs through
logging and caplog captures them regardless of collection order.
* Studio: log local checkpoint tier decisions and warn on MLX inference activation
- get_transformers_tier: the local config.json fast path returned a tier
without logging it, so local checkpoints stayed opaque while HF ids were
traceable. Log each decision there too, with a caplog regression test.
- inference worker: the MLX path swallowed _activate_transformers_version
failures with a bare except, the same gap issue #6103 fixed for training.
Warn instead, keeping the non-fatal fall-through.

* Fix present-but-None seed override for PR #5656
studio/backend/core/training/worker.py
`config.get("model_random_state", random_seed)` only fills the
default when the key is absent. When a caller passes
`config["model_random_state"] = None` explicitly (which happens
any time a JSON payload sends an explicit `null`), the old code
forwarded `None` to FastMLXModel and disabled deterministic init
silently. Same for `lora_random_state`. Treat absent and explicit
None the same way: fall back to random_seed.
studio/backend/tests/test_training_raw_support.py
Update the source-string assertions to match the new lines.
* Guard optional MLXTrainingConfig fields and normalize random_seed for PR #5656
The MLX worker now passes `cast_norm_output_to_input_dtype` and
`dataset_order` only when the linked unsloth-zoo dataclass actually
declares them. Released zoo trees that predate the paired PR can still
construct `MLXTrainingConfig` without raising
`TypeError: unexpected keyword argument`. Once the dependency floor is
bumped to a release that contains both fields, the feature-detect
guards become no-ops.
`random_seed = config.get("random_seed", 3407)` was unguarded against
explicit `None` from raw / backend callers. The same value seeded the
trainer and was the fallback target for `model_random_state` /
`lora_random_state`. Normalize once at the top of the function and use
the normalized value everywhere so an explicit `None` cannot reach
FastMLXModel / get_peft_model / MLXTrainingConfig.
Existing seed source-pattern test updated to match the new normalize
helper. New test asserts the feature-detection guards exist and that
the unconditional kwargs do not include the gated fields.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Normalize seed / cast / max_grad_value at TrainingBackend for PR #5656
Round-3 review consensus: the per-field guards that landed in the MLX
worker only protect the MLX path. The same `TrainingBackend.start_training`
config still reaches the CUDA/text trainer at `worker.py:2267`, the
embedding LoRA init at `worker.py:2450`, and embedding TrainingArguments
at `worker.py:2624` with raw `None` values, so an explicit
`random_seed=None` from a raw / backend caller still breaks non-MLX
training even after the previous fix.
Move the normalization into `TrainingBackend.start_training` itself,
where it runs once for every training mode:
- `_coerce_seed(value)`: explicit `None`, non-int, or absent all become
3407. Every downstream worker now sees an int.
- `_coerce_optional_bool(value, default)`: explicit `None` falls back
to `default` instead of `bool(None) == False`. Also normalizes the
common raw-config / YAML string aliases ("true" / "false" / "0" /
"1"). Used for `cast_norm_output_to_input_dtype`.
- `_coerce_optional_nonneg_float(name, value)`: rejects negative
numerics from raw / backend callers, matching the Pydantic
`ge=0` constraint the HTTP route already enforces. Used for
`max_grad_value`.
worker.py MLX path: the existing `bool(config.get(key, True))` for
`cast_norm_output_to_input_dtype` was changed to also fall back on
explicit `None`, so direct worker callers (bypassing
`TrainingBackend.start_training`) are equally safe. `max_grad_value`
also raises on negative values inside the worker for the same reason.
TrainingStartRequest.random_seed default bumped from 42 to 3407 so
direct REST callers that omit the field receive the same default as
the Studio frontend and the MLX worker.
New regression test exercises the three new helpers across explicit
None, valid values, string aliases, and negative-value rejection.
* Tighten feature-detect test paren tracking for PR #5656
The block-extraction used , which stops at the
first inner closing paren (e.g. )
and would silently miss a future unconditional
/ added later in the same dict literal. Switched to
proper paren-depth tracking so the unconditional block is checked end-to-end.
* Shorten verbose comments in MLX Studio backend
* Handle MLX Studio EOS appending by mode
* Wire MLX leaf norm clipping through Studio
* Respect VLM layer filters for explicit LoRA targets
Rationale / guardrails for the local Studio/vision push:
When callers provide explicit VLM LoRA target_modules together with layer filters, FastVisionModel still needs to route the explicit targets through get_peft_regex. Otherwise the layer filters are ignored and adapters can be attached outside the requested language/vision scope.
Do not revert this to plain list(target_modules) for explicit module lists. The CUDA/Studio-facing contract is that explicit targets and layer filters compose: target_modules selects module names, while finetune_language_layers / finetune_vision_layers / finetune_attention_modules / finetune_mlp_modules constrain where those targets are allowed.
The regression test covers the language-only explicit q_proj case and source-checks that explicit targets are wrapped through get_peft_regex when filters are active.

* Refresh MLX smoke clip-config note for leaf_norm default
Trim the 11-line comment block to 5 lines and correct the stale claim
that MLXTrainingConfig defaults to max_grad_value=1.0. The new default
is max_grad_leaf_norm=1.0 (same memory profile as elementwise but
direction-preserving). The smoke still pins max_grad_value=1.0
explicitly to keep the 13-seed pass-rate fixture stable.

Raise ruff line-length to 100 and extend the local pre-commit format pipeline (def-signature magic-comma normalization, short multi-line assert collapse, kwarg '=' spacing, blank-line-after-short-import removal, adjacent string-literal / f-string+plain merge, redundant-pass pruning). Every transform re-checks the file AST and is dropped if it would differ; the whole-repo reformat is verified AST-identical per file and idempotent.
* Studio: add VLM image-size control for training
Studio vision fine-tuning had no explicit way to cap image resolution, so
users could not trade visual detail against context and memory use from the
training UI, YAML config, or API payload. :) Add a nullable `vision_image_size`
setting that keeps the current model default when unset and applies a
max-side resize when provided.
- Add `vision_image_size` to the training request model, route payload, backend
training config, and frontend API/types plumbing.
- Validate the value server-side as either null or an integer in the supported
256-2048 range.
- Surface an Image Size selector for vision LoRA training with Default plus
common preset sizes.
- Include the value in training start payloads only for image-dataset vision
models, and serialize it into vision-aware YAML configs.
- Map backend model defaults back into the training store and reset the value
when reapplying model defaults.
- Pass the resize through the Torch trainer via `UnslothVisionDataCollator`
using max-dimension semantics.
- Apply the same max-dimension resize in the MLX VLM path before mlx-vlm's
internal collation, preserving aspect ratio and avoiding upscaling.
- Add backend validation coverage and MLX resize-size tests for the new
behavior.

* Studio: thread vision_image_size into DeepSeek OCR + writable MLX ndarray
- trainer.py: DeepSeek OCR collator now honors the new vision_image_size
setting as image_size. Falls back to 640 when null. base_size stays at
1024 and crop_mode stays True so the Gundam preset's dynamic cropping
of large documents keeps working.
- worker.py: _resize_mlx_vlm_image returns np.array(image, copy=True)
instead of np.asarray(image). The PIL view from np.asarray is not
writable, which makes HF VLM processors emit "The given NumPy array
is not writable, and PyTorch does not support non-writable tensors..."
when they call torch.from_numpy. copy=True keeps the same shape and
dtype but produces a writable buffer.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: align YAML export gate with API mapper + extend Image Size dropdown
- training-section.tsx: handleSaveConfig now passes
isVisionModel && isDatasetImage === true to serializeConfigToYaml,
matching buildTrainingStartPayload. Stops vision_image_size from
leaking into exported YAML for text-only datasets where the API
would have sent null.
- params-section.tsx: add 256 to visionImageSizePresets so the
dropdown spans the validator's full [256, 2048] range. Also render
a synthetic SelectItem for the current value when it was loaded
from YAML or model defaults and is not in the preset list, so the
controlled Select always shows the active size.
* Studio: validate vision_image_size in YAML/model-default loader
mapBackendModelConfigToTrainingPatch now mirrors the backend validator
at studio/backend/models/training.py:169 by dropping any value that is
not an integer in [256, 2048]. Pre-fix, an imported YAML like
vision_image_size: 4096 or 640.5 would land in the store and the UI
would happily display it, only to fail when Start Training posted to
the backend. With this guard the store never holds a value the backend
would reject.
* Studio: precise error messages for invalid vision_image_size inputs
Switch the field_validator to mode="before" so True/False surface as
bool (not Pydantic's coerced 1/0) and give a precise
"must be an integer or null" message instead of the misleading
"must be in [256, 2048] (got 1)". Also explicitly accepts numpy
Integral and integral Real scalars so YAML or programmatic callers
using numpy ints keep working.

vision_image_size: True was rejected with "must be in [256, 2048]
(got 1)" because Pydantic coerced before our check ran. New test
asserts the message now reads "integer or null".
* Studio: tighten vision_image_size loader + YAML save + MLX rounding
Round 2 of follow-up review surfaced three usability issues:
- model-defaults.ts: switching to a model whose backend YAML omits
vision_image_size now explicitly resets the store value to null.
Pre-fix, a stale 2048 from a previous model would silently apply
to the new run because every checked-in model-default file omits
the key.
- training-section.tsx: handleSaveConfig now includes vision fields
unless isDatasetImage is definitively false. isDatasetImage is null
during dataset checks, after dataset edits, and on import; treating
unknown as "drop" would silently lose the user's selection in those
windows. Confirmed-text-only datasets still drop the value.
- worker.py: _mlx_vlm_max_resized_size now mirrors the Torch collator's
integer formula (w * size + size_func // 2) // size_func instead of
Python round(), which uses banker's rounding and disagreed by 1px on
half-pixel inputs like 333x1000 with target 500 (was 166, now 167).
Test_mlx_training_worker_config gains parity assertions.
* Studio: reset vision_image_size in the model-config error fallback path
mapBackendModelConfigToTrainingPatch resets stale image size on the
success path, but if the /api/models/config endpoint throws,
training-config-store.ts falls through to checkVisionModel and only
updates capability flags. Pre-fix that left a stale 2048 (or any
prior selection) in the store, so once dataset detection marked the
new dataset as image, the next training start would silently apply
the previous model's size. The error branch now also resets to the
DEFAULT_HYPERPARAMS.visionImageSize sentinel.
* Studio: revert DeepSeek OCR Image Size knob + move missing-key reset
Round 3 of the parallel-reviewer pass surfaced two issues that I had
introduced earlier in this PR's follow-ups.
- trainer.py: my prior change threaded vision_image_size into the
DeepSeek OCR collator's image_size argument. The collator's
(image_size, base_size, crop_mode) is a single preset
(Tiny / Small / Base / Large / Gundam); changing image_size in
isolation desynchronizes the per-crop pixel grid from num_queries
downstream and produces wrong token grids on documents larger than
the per-crop tile. The fix pins the collator back at the Gundam
preset and logs a clear "ignored for DeepSeek OCR" notice when the
user has selected a non-default Image Size.
- model-defaults.ts + training-config-store.ts: the round 4 fix that
reset visionImageSize when a model YAML omitted the key also fired
on same-model reloads (ensureModelDefaultsLoaded re-fires on page
refresh), wiping a value the user had just selected. The reset is
now in setSelectedModel, gated on selectedModel != previousModel,
so true model switches still clear stale values while reloads keep
the user's selection.
* Studio: extend DeepSeek OCR Image Size exclusion to MLX + frontend
Round 4 of the parallel-reviewer pass flagged that the Torch trainer
exclusion I added did not have a matching MLX guard, and that the UI
still offered the dropdown for DeepSeek OCR even though the backend
ignores it.
- worker.py: _run_mlx_training now mirrors the Torch exclusion. When
the model name matches DeepSeek OCR, vision_image_size is forced
back to None before _adapt_for_mlx_vlm sees it, so dataset images
pass through unchanged just like the Torch path. Emits a clear
status line when this happens.
- params-section.tsx: the Image Size Row is now gated on
showVisionImageSize (showVisionLora && !isDeepseekOcr) instead of
showVisionLora alone, so DeepSeek OCR users no longer see a control
that silently has no effect.
- mappers.ts: buildTrainingStartPayload sends null for vision_image_size
whenever the selected model is DeepSeek OCR, so the backend log line
about ignoring the value never fires from a UI-driven start.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: tighten YAML import/save for vision_image_size
Two YAML-path asymmetries that could leak a stale image size into
training:
- parseYamlConfig now treats a missing training.vision_image_size as
null. Without this, importing a YAML saved before this feature (or
any config that omits the key) preserved whatever value the user had
previously set on a different model. The model-defaults reload path
still uses Object.hasOwn so same-model defaults reloads do not wipe
a manual selection; only file import normalises the missing key.
- handleSaveConfig now passes a DeepSeek-OCR-specific guard to
serializeConfigToYaml so saved YAML matches what the API mapper
actually sends. Previously a state with visionImageSize set could
emit the key even though Studio ignored it at training time for
DeepSeek OCR, and a later import for a non-DeepSeek vision model
would activate the stale value.
serializeConfigToYaml gains an optional third parameter
includeVisionImageSize defaulting to includeVisionFields, preserving
the existing 2-arg call signature for backwards compatibility.
* Studio: also reset vision_image_size when YAML lacks a training section
Round 9's parseYamlConfig normalization only fired when the YAML had a
training mapping that omitted vision_image_size. A lora-only or
logging-only YAML (or one with `training: null`) still left trainingObj
unset, the mapper saw no vision_image_size key, and the previously
selected store value persisted into the next training run.
Now an absent or null training section is synthesised as
{ vision_image_size: null } so model-defaults.ts always patches
visionImageSize back to Default on file import. Same-model defaults
reloads still preserve manual choices via the existing Object.hasOwn
gate in mapBackendModelConfigToTrainingPatch.
* Studio: unify parseYamlConfig non-object training handling
A fresh static review (Opus subagent) flagged P3-1: parseYamlConfig
only synthesised vision_image_size: null when raw.training was either
absent or a plain object missing the key. If raw.training is a scalar
or an array (malformed but still parseable), the value was passed
through unchanged, the mapper's Object.hasOwn returned false, and any
previously selected visionImageSize persisted - the same stale-state
leak the lora-only fallback was added to close.
Treat any non-plain-object raw.training (null, array, scalar) as a
malformed/missing section and reset to { vision_image_size: null }.
* Studio: tighten code comments for vision_image_size path
* Studio: tighten vision_image_size validator + restore lost comment context
Two issues surfaced by a fresh adversarial review of the validator:
1. v.strip().lstrip("+-").isdigit() let "++512" / "--256" / "+-+512"
slip past the gate, then int("++512") raised an uncaught ValueError
and Pydantic surfaced "invalid literal for int() with base 10: '++512'"
instead of the contracted "vision_image_size must be an integer or null".
2. str.isdigit() returns True for Unicode digit families (full-width '５１２',
Arabic-Indic '٥١٢', Devanagari '१०२४'), and int() coerces them, so the
value reaching the backend wasn't the ASCII the user typed.
Replaced the lstrip+isdigit pair with re.fullmatch(r'[+-]?[0-9]+', stripped),
which rejects both shapes with the precise error and accepts the documented
ones ('256', '+512', ' 1024 '). Added 8 regression test cases covering
multi-sign strings, lone sign, and the three Unicode digit families.
Also restored comment context lost in f9c39331:
- model-defaults.ts: name studio/backend/models/training.py:_check_vision_image_size
as the spec the [256, 2048] range mirrors, so a maintainer changing the
cap in one file can find the other.
- training-section.tsx: enumerate the three windows in which isDatasetImage
is null (before a check, after dataset edits, on import) so a future
maintainer doesn't simplify the gate to `isCheckingDataset`.
- worker.py: qualify the writable-ndarray comment with "when a resize is
requested" so it doesn't misadvertise the resize=None early-return.

* studio: skip flash-attn install on Blackwell GPUs (sm_100+)
Dao-AILab does not publish prebuilt flash-attn wheels for sm_100, sm_120,
or sm_121, and the older-arch wheels fail to load on Blackwell. Add a
shared has_blackwell_gpu() helper and gate both the install-time
(install_python_stack._ensure_flash_attn) and runtime
(worker._ensure_flash_attn_for_long_context) paths on it. Detection uses
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=compute_cap, which works on Linux and Windows.
* test: stub has_blackwell_gpu in pre-existing runtime flash-attn tests
prefers_prebuilt_wheel and falls_back_to_pypi exercise the install
paths that the Blackwell guard now short-circuits. Make them explicit
about non-Blackwell so they pass on real Blackwell hosts.
* studio: cache has_blackwell_gpu, skip Blackwell warning under NO_TORCH
- Wrap has_blackwell_gpu in functools.lru_cache so repeated calls in a
single process avoid redundant nvidia-smi spawns. Tests clear the
cache via setup_method/teardown_method.
- In _ensure_flash_attn, run the NO_TORCH short-circuit before the
Blackwell check so GGUF-only users (who never install torch anyway)
do not see a Blackwell warning. Blackwell check still runs above the
IS_WINDOWS / IS_MACOS gates so Blackwell-on-Windows users still see
the explicit reason rather than a silent OS skip.

test_mlx_training_worker_config loads worker.py against a hand-rolled

* feat(mlx,ux): auto-imply finetune_language_layers when user picks attn/mlp
UI guardrail. The four checkboxes (vision/language/attention/MLP) carry
"scope × module-type" semantics that aren't obvious — picking just
"Attention modules" + "MLP modules" without "Language layers" naturally
reads as "fine-tune attn/mlp" but our backend reads it as "fine-tune
attn/mlp modules in *no* tower" → empty target_modules → zero
trainable params → crash inside value_and_grad.
If user selected attn or mlp module types but no layer scope, default
to language scope. Power users can still explicitly choose
language=False, vision=True if they want vision-only fine-tuning of
attn/mlp.

* fix(mlx): wire top_k, repetition_penalty, and VLM top_p through to mlx-lm/mlx-vlm
Inference UI sliders for top_k and repetition_penalty had no effect on
MLX, and VLM top_p was also silently dropped. Plus a latent pre-existing
bug: mlx_vlm.generate_step expects temperature= (long form), but we
were passing temp= which silently fell into **kwargs — every VLM chat
was effectively greedy regardless of the temperature slider.
Text path (_generate_text):
make_sampler now receives top_k in addition to temp/top_p
make_logits_processors built and forwarded when repetition_penalty is
non-trivial (skip when 0.0/1.0 to avoid pointless overhead)
VLM path (_generate_vlm):
Pass top_p, top_k, repetition_penalty as kwargs (mlx_vlm.stream_generate
forwards them to generate_step's sampler/logits_processor builders)
Rename temp= → temperature= so it's actually consumed
Verified end-to-end with a smoke test on Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct (text) and
Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct (VLM): each of {greedy, top_p=0.5, top_k=10,
rep_pen=1.5} now produces a distinct output, proving the parameters

* fix(mlx): restore FastVisionModel as a distinct class
unsloth/__init__.py was assigning `FastVisionModel = FastLanguageModel`
right after defining `class FastVisionModel(FastLanguageModel)` with a
`for_training` static method. The alias erased the class binding, so
the documented `FastVisionModel.for_training(model)` call from upstream
Unsloth's VLM notebooks raised `AttributeError` on MLX.
Remove the offending alias. `FastVisionModel` is now a real subclass of
`FastLanguageModel` again — inherits `from_pretrained` /
`get_peft_model` / `for_inference`, exposes `for_training` as a no-op
pass-through (no-op because MLX doesn't have a train/eval mode flag;
the call exists purely for GPU/MLX notebook parity).
Verified end-to-end: Qwen3-VL-2B + LaTeX_OCR LoRA + vision LoRA via
FastVisionModel.from_pretrained → get_peft_model → for_training →
MLXTrainer.train runs 10 steps cleanly (loss 1.10 → 0.12, no NaNs,
peak 5.89 GB).
Studio's path (FastLanguageModel.from_pretrained for any repo,
auto-detect VLM in the loader) is unaffected. Tier-1 review finding #8.

* Studio: harden MLX training and export, restore GPU init guards
Studio export
Restore Tuple[bool, str, Optional[str]] contract on export_merged_model,
export_base_model, export_gguf, and export_lora_adapter, populating
output_path on successful local saves so routes/worker/CLI/frontend
details.output_path is non-empty again.
Lift the GPU save_method assignment out of the local-save branch so
Hub-only merged exports (save_directory='', push_to_hub=True) no longer
hit UnboundLocalError on the push branch.
For MLX merged and base hub-only export, stage to a tempfile.TemporaryDirectory
before push_to_hub_merged instead of passing save_directory=''.
Source _IS_MLX from unsloth instead of recomputing the platform check
(single source of truth, also enforces mlx-package availability).
Studio MLX training/inference
Pass token=hf_token into FastMLXModel.from_pretrained for gated/private
models, matching the inference path.
Strip hf_token and wandb_token from wandb.init(config=...) so secrets
do not leak into the W&B run config.
Replace load_from_disk(local_datasets[0]) with the existing
UnslothTrainer._resolve_local_files / _loader_for_files helpers so
uploaded JSON/JSONL/CSV/Parquet files train through the normal datasets
loader (load_from_disk still used for HF save_to_disk directories).
Make the dataset slice helper inclusive at the end and treat 0 as a real
index instead of "unset", matching the GPU and embedding paths.
Add a status_message -> message alias inside _send so the existing parent
pump (training.py) renders MLX status updates instead of blanks.
Forward min_p through generate_chat_response into _generate_text /
_generate_vlm and into make_sampler / vlm_kwargs so the sampling control
is no longer a no-op on MLX.
Wrap unsloth_zoo.mlx_loader / mlx_trainer imports with a clearer
ImportError pointing users at install.sh for Apple Silicon.
Exit the MLX stop-polling thread on EOFError/OSError instead of
busy-looping when the queue/pipe is permanently closed (one-line
why-safe rationale inline).
Studio frontend
ParamsSection subscribes to platform deviceType via the Zustand hook so
the gradient checkpointing dropdown re-renders after the async device
fetch completes.
Studio hardware
get_gpu_utilization MLX branch now reads _read_apple_gpu_stats once and
derives VRAM totals from psutil, removing the second ioreg subprocess
per utilization poll.
Unsloth core
Restore the os.geteuid == 0 guard around the CUDA ldconfig recovery
that was lost when GPU initialization moved into _gpu_init.py, plus the
non-root manual-fix warning branch. Non-root CUDA users no longer shell
out to ldconfig at import time.
Load dataprep/raw_text via importlib so the MLX import path no longer
pulls torch in through dataprep/__init__.py -> synthetic.py.
FastVisionModel.from_pretrained overrides the inherited delegator only
to inject text_only=False; this is an extension, not a duplication, and
is needed so VLM checkpoint loads keep the vision tower.
Wrap the MLX-branch unsloth_zoo import with a clearer ImportError.
* Studio: regression tests for MLX training/export and GPU init ldconfig guard
tests/python/test_gpu_init_ldconfig_guard.py asserts the geteuid root
check still wraps the ldconfig recovery and the non-root branch warns
bnb users; AST + source-text inspection so the test runs without torch.
tests/studio/test_export_output_path_contract.py covers the
Tuple[bool, str, Optional[str]] return contract on every export method,
the output_path assignment after successful local save, the Hub-only
GPU save_method binding fix, the MLX hub-only TemporaryDirectory
staging, and the single-source `_IS_MLX` import from unsloth.

forwarding to FastMLXModel.from_pretrained, wandb config secret
stripping, file-aware local dataset loading, status_message ->
message aliasing, inclusive slice semantics, EOFError/OSError stop
thread exit, and the friendly mlx_loader / mlx_trainer ImportError.

* fix(mlx): cap inference memory + release wired on unload + tame worker pre-pin
Three memory-hardening fixes for Studio's MLX path:
1. Inference applies the same Metal caps as the trainer.
load_model previously only called set_wired_limit(100% of recommended)
with no upper memory_limit, leaving large VLM checkpoints unbounded
during the loader allocation. Add _configure_memory_limits() that sets
memory_limit to 85% of recommended and wired_limit to min(recommended,
memory_limit) — matching MLXTrainer's defaults so behavior is the same
whether the user trains or just runs inference.
2. unload_model releases pinned memory back to the OS — but only when
the cache is empty. Without this, pinned wired bytes stayed allocated
to MLX after the model was gone, starving other apps. The release is
guarded on `not self.models` so unloading one of several cached
models doesn't un-pin weights still in use.
3. Worker pre-cap is conservative instead of aggressive.
The previous pre-pin set_wired_limit(100% of recommended) competed
with MLXTrainer's later more conservative cap. Replace with the same
85%-memory / min(rec, memory) pair that the trainer applies later
(idempotent re-apply). Bounds the model load + LoRA setup window
without over-pinning.

* tests/studio: regression tests for the _IS_MLX dispatch gate
Two gates drive every MLX-vs-CUDA dispatch decision in Studio:
1. unsloth._IS_MLX in unsloth/__init__.py — evaluated once at import
time, read by Studio worker code to choose the GPU vs MLX trainer
and inference paths. Defined as
Darwin AND arm64 AND find_spec("mlx") is not None.
2. utils.hardware.detect_hardware() — runtime probe with priority
CUDA > XPU > MLX > CPU. The MLX branch is reached only when both
CUDA and XPU are unavailable and the host is Apple Silicon and
mlx is importable.
Neither gate had a direct test. Adds tests/studio/test_is_mlx_dispatch_gate.py
with six tests:
test_is_mlx_gate_uses_three_required_predicates
AST-walks unsloth/__init__.py and asserts the _IS_MLX assignment
is a BoolOp(And) of platform.system()=="Darwin",
platform.machine()=="arm64", and find_spec("mlx") is not None.
Catches accidental rewrites that drop a predicate.
test_is_mlx_gate_true_on_apple_silicon_with_mlx_present
Spoofs platform to Darwin/arm64, injects a fake mlx module so
find_spec returns a real ModuleSpec, re-evaluates the gate
expression. Verifies it flips True under the exact conditions
Studio expects.
test_is_mlx_gate_false_when_mlx_missing
Spoofs Apple Silicon but with mlx absent. Verifies the gate stays
False (so a Mac without mlx installed does not pretend to have
MLX support).
test_is_mlx_gate_false_on_non_apple_silicon
Canary on the actual Linux+CUDA / AMD / Intel test host: the gate
must remain False regardless of whether mlx happens to be
importable. Protects existing GPU users from accidental MLX
hijack when MLX support evolves.
test_detect_hardware_picks_mlx_when_only_apple_silicon_available
Forces torch.cuda and torch.xpu off, spoofs Apple Silicon, injects
fake mlx and mlx.core. detect_hardware() must return DeviceType.MLX.
test_detect_hardware_picks_cuda_on_real_host
Canary: on a real CUDA host detect_hardware() must return
DeviceType.CUDA. Protects against the MLX branch shadowing CUDA
dispatch on NVIDIA / AMD ROCm hosts.
Uses the same monkeypatch.setitem(sys.modules, ...) fake-mlx pattern as
the existing test_mlx_inference_backend.py — no new test infrastructure,
no real mlx install required.

* Add AGPL-3.0 SPDX header to Studio MLX regression tests
Four Studio MLX test files shipped without an SPDX-License-Identifier:
studio/backend/tests/test_mlx_training_worker_config.py
tests/studio/test_mlx_training_worker_behaviors.py
tests/studio/test_export_output_path_contract.py
tests/studio/test_is_mlx_dispatch_gate.py
They sit in or alongside studio/backend/, which is governed by
studio/LICENSE.AGPL-3.0, and exercise AGPL Studio code. Add the same
"# SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-only" header that's already on
test_mlx_inference_backend.py so the license declaration matches
the code under test rather than defaulting to the repo-root
Apache-2.0.
* Wrap MLX submodule imports with friendly install hint
The _IS_MLX block at the top of unsloth/__init__.py already catches the
missing-package case with a friendly install hint, but the follow-up
"from unsloth_zoo.mlx_trainer import ..." and "from unsloth_zoo.mlx_loader import ..."
lines run unguarded. An Apple Silicon user who has unsloth-zoo installed
but on an older version (e.g. the current PyPI release, before the MLX
modules ship) sees a raw ImportError on the submodule rather than the
hint that points at install.sh.
Wrap the two submodule imports in the same try/except shape so the
friendly install message fires whether the package is missing entirely
or just predates the MLX submodules. No-op once both packages release
together; smooths the transitional window where unsloth/main has merged
but unsloth-zoo on PyPI has not.
