* Add SDXL diffusion family (U-Net pipeline support)
SDXL is the first U-Net family in the diffusion backend: its denoiser is
pipe.unet (UNet2DConditionModel), not a DiT pipe.transformer, and a single-file
.safetensors is the whole pipeline rather than a transformer-only file. The
backend previously assumed a DiT transformer everywhere, so add the two hooks a
U-Net family needs and register SDXL.
DiffusionFamily gains denoiser_attr ("transformer" for DiT, "unet" for SDXL) and
single_file_is_pipeline (SDXL loads a single file via pipeline_class.from_single_file
with the base repo as config, instead of transformer_class.from_single_file plus a
companion assembly). _align_vae_dtype now reads the denoiser generically so img2img
and inpaint keep the VAE and U-Net dtypes aligned.
The non-GGUF trust gate is extended with a short, exact-match, safetensors-only
allowlist of official base repos (the SDXL base/refiner and sdxl-turbo), because
SDXL ships only as a full pipeline and has no unsloth-hosted GGUF. Local paths stay
trusted as before; a random repo, even one that detects as SDXL, is still rejected.
The image-conditioned and ControlNet workflows are the standard SDXL pipelines,
built around the resident modules via from_pipe like every other family, so SDXL
gets txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, upscale, LoRA and ControlNet. There is no
native sd.cpp mapping yet, so the no-GPU route falls back to diffusers.
Frontend catalog gains SDXL Base 1.0 and SDXL Turbo entries with SDXL step/guidance
defaults (Turbo: few steps, no CFG; base: ~30 steps, real CFG).
Tests: new test_diffusion_sdxl.py (family shape, detection, trust allowlist, model
kind, U-Net VAE-dtype alignment, LoRA gate) plus loader-branch tests in
test_diffusion_backend.py (pipeline-kind from_pretrained, single-file whole-pipeline
from_single_file, allowlist accept/reject). Verified live on GPU: sdxl-turbo loads
both as a pipeline and as a single file and generates coherent txt2img + img2img.

* Images: LoRA free-text Hugging Face entry + recipe round-trip
The backend has always accepted a bare Hugging Face repo id (owner/name, or
owner/name:weight-file.safetensors) as a LoRA, downloading and applying it. But the
picker only rendered when the curated catalog had entries, and the catalog is empty,
so there was no UI path to apply any LoRA. Show the LoRA section whenever the loaded
model supports LoRA, and replace the curated-only dropdown with a text input: type a
Hub repo id, or pick a discovered adapter from a datalist of suggestions when the
catalog is populated.
Also restore LoRAs when loading a recipe. restoreSettings now parses the recipe's
"id:weight" strings (splitting on the last colon, since the id itself may contain one
for a specific weight file) back into the selection, so replaying a saved image
reproduces its adapters. The generate payload trims hand-typed ids and drops empty /
zero-weight rows, and a model swap clears the selection (a LoRA is family-specific)
without discarding a free-text pick that is not in the curated list.
* Add diffusion LoRA training (SDXL text-to-image)
First diffusion training path in Studio: train a LoRA on the SDXL U-Net from an
image + caption dataset and export it as a diffusers .safetensors that the existing
diffusion LoRA loader (and any diffusers pipeline) can load.
core/training/diffusion_lora_trainer.py:
- DiffusionLoraConfig with validation/defaults (rank, alpha, targets, lr, steps, grad
accumulation, resolution, min-SNR gamma, gradient checkpointing, lr scheduler, seed,
mixed precision).
- discover_image_caption_pairs: captions from metadata.jsonl / captions.jsonl, per-image
.txt/.caption sidecars, or a dreambooth instance_prompt fallback (pure, unit-tested).
- run_diffusion_lora_training: the loop -- freeze base, PEFT-wrap the U-Net attention
projections, VAE-encode (fp32 VAE to avoid the SDXL fp16 overflow), sample noise +
timesteps, predict, MSE loss with optional min-SNR weighting (epsilon / v-prediction),
AdamW + get_scheduler + grad accumulation + grad clipping, then export via
save_lora_weights. Emits worker-protocol events (model_load_*, progress, complete) and
polls should_stop for a clean stop with a partial save.
- run_diffusion_training_process: mp.Queue subprocess adapter (event_queue / stop_queue),
so the training worker can spawn it; plus a CLI entry point.
Only SDXL (U-Net) is trained here; DiT families and the Studio UI form + route wiring are
follow-ups. The trainer is decoupled and worker-ready.
Tests: test_diffusion_lora_trainer.py covers caption discovery (metadata / sidecar /
instance prompt / skip-uncaptioned / errors), config normalisation + validation, the SDXL
add-time-ids, and the dict->config adapter. Verified live on GPU: a 60-step SDXL LoRA run
lowers the loss, exports a ~45 MB adapter, and loading it back shifts generation from
baseline (mean abs pixel diff ~55/255).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* diffusion trainer: emit learning_rate in progress events (Studio pump compatibility)
The Studio training pump reads 'learning_rate' from progress events; the diffusion
trainer emitted 'lr'. Rename the field (and the CLI reader) so the trainer's events are
directly consumable by the existing training status/SSE machinery when it is wired into
the worker, without a translation shim.
* Wire diffusion LoRA training into the Studio API
Make the SDXL LoRA trainer reachable from the app with a small, self-contained job
service and JSON routes, deliberately separate from the LLM TrainingBackend (whose
lifecycle -- LLM config build, per-run SQLite rows, matplotlib plots, transfer-to-chat-
inference -- is text-training specific and would mis-handle a diffusion run).
core/training/diffusion_training_service.py: DiffusionTrainingService runs one job at a
time -- validate the config cheaply (before any spawn), spawn the trainer subprocess
(spawn context, parent-lifetime bound), pump its events (model_load_* / progress /
complete / error) into an in-memory status snapshot, and support a clean stop. The
subprocess context and target are injectable so the full start -> pump -> status ->
complete path is unit-tested without real multiprocessing or torch.
routes/training.py: POST /api/train/diffusion/start (400 on a bad config, 409 when a job
is already running), POST /api/train/diffusion/stop, GET /api/train/diffusion/status
(JSON poll). models/training.py: DiffusionTrainingStartRequest + response schemas
mirroring DiffusionLoraConfig, so model_dump() passes straight through.
Tests: test_diffusion_training.py -- service happy path, bad-config-before-spawn,
concurrent-job rejection, clean stop, crash-without-terminal-event, event transitions;
plus route wiring via the FastAPI TestClient (start / 422 / 400 / 409 / status / stop)
with a mocked service. The diffusion trainer's progress events already use the field
names this path expects.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: add a Train LoRA (SDXL) dialog
Surface the diffusion training API in the Images page. A "Train LoRA" button in the top
bar opens a self-contained dialog to fine-tune an SDXL LoRA on a folder of images: pick
the base model, dataset folder, output folder, an optional instance prompt, and the core
hyperparameters (steps, rank, resolution, batch, learning rate), then Start. The dialog
polls the training status while open and shows a progress bar, step count, live loss, and
the saved adapter path, with a Stop button for a clean stop.
The dialog is independent of the loaded generation model (training runs in its own
subprocess), and prefills the base model with the loaded checkpoint when it is SDXL, else
the SDXL base. api.ts gains startDiffusionTraining / stopDiffusionTraining /
getDiffusionTrainingStatus plus their types, matching the /api/train/diffusion routes.
* Import diffusion training schemas from models.training directly
The import-hoist lint flags newly re-exported names in the models/__init__.py hub as
unused (it does not treat __all__ membership as a use). Import the three diffusion
training schemas straight from models.training in routes/training.py, where they are
used in the route annotations and calls, and drop the __init__ re-export.
* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* Pipeline prefetch: fetch only the default torch weights
A full-pipeline prefetch kept every repo file outside assets/, so an official
repo that ships multiple formats (SDXL Base: fp16 variants, ONNX, OpenVINO,
Flax, a top-level single-file twin) downloaded tens of GB from_pretrained never
loads. Skip non-torch exports and dtype-variant twins in
_pipeline_file_downloaded, and drop a component .bin when the same directory
carries a picked safetensors weight (diffusers' own preference).
* Diffusion LoRA training: fall back to fp16 when CUDA lacks bf16
The default mixed_precision=bf16 hard-fails on pre-Ampere GPUs (T4 / V100 /
RTX 20xx) which have no bf16 compute; check torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
and drop to fp16 there.
* Diffusion training service: join the old pump outside the lock
start() joined a finished job's pump thread while holding the service lock,
but the pump's final state writes need that same lock, so the join always
burned its full timeout and a stale pump could then overwrite the new job's
state. Join outside the lock (with a re-check after), and fence _apply_event
and the exit handler by process identity so a superseded pump can never touch
the current job's state. Adds regression tests for both.

* Diffusion LoRA training: harden config handling, cancellation, SDXL conditioning, and safety
Addresses review findings on the SDXL LoRA trainer:
- Gate the base model with the same trust check as inference (unsloth/*, allowlisted
official bases, or a local path) before from_pretrained, so an untrusted remote repo
is never fetched or deserialised.
- Check the stop signal before the (slow) model load, not only between steps, so a
cancel during download is honoured; a stop may carry save=False to cancel without
leaving a partial adapter.
- Per-sample SDXL add_time_ids from the actual crop (original size + crop offset, with
the offset mirrored on horizontal flip) instead of a fixed uncropped-square tensor.
- Apply EXIF orientation before resize/crop so rotated photos train upright.
- Skip gradient clipping when max_grad_norm <= 0 (the Studio 'disable' value) instead
of scaling every gradient to zero.
- Coerce Studio config strings/blanks: learning_rate string to float, blank hf_token to
anonymous, gradient_checkpointing 'none'/'true'/'unsloth' to bool; reject a zero/negative
lora_alpha or learning_rate.
- Alias the generic Studio training payload keys (model_name/max_steps/batch_size/lora_r/
lr_scheduler_type/random_seed) onto the diffusion field names.
- Mirror the trained adapter into loras/diffusion so the Images LoRA picker discovers it.
- Report worker exceptions in both message and error keys so the failure is not lost.
Adds regression tests for the config coercion/validation and aliasing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.

* Diffusion training API: LLM interlock, pre-spawn VRAM free, path containment, no dropped knobs
Four review findings on the diffusion training start path:
- It spawned the SDXL trainer without checking the LLM TrainingBackend, so a
start while an LLM run was active put two trainers on the same GPU. Add a
symmetric interlock: diffusion start returns 409 when LLM training is active,
and LLM start refuses while a diffusion job is active.
- It went straight to service.start() without freeing GPU residents. Add a
pre-spawn free of the export subprocess, the resident Images pipeline (with an
arbiter release), and chat models, mirroring the LLM start path.
- data_dir / output_dir were passed through unresolved, so Studio-relative names
failed and absolute paths bypassed containment. Resolve them with
resolve_dataset_path / resolve_output_dir before spawn (400 on an uncontained
path).
- The request model dropped max_grad_norm and lora_target_modules, so runs that
set them trained with defaults. Add both fields.
The gemini pump-join deadlock was already fixed earlier (join outside the lock +
proc-identity fence). Note: honoring a stop DURING model load is a trainer-loop
change owned by the diffusion training engine PR (should_stop polled before the
first optimizer step). Adds route + model regression tests.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* SDXL: reject GGUF up front, skip unused base weights, drop refiner, and harden helpers
Addresses review findings on the SDXL family:
- Reject a GGUF load for single_file_is_pipeline families (SDXL) in validate_load_request,
before the route evicts the current model; SDXL has no transformer-only GGUF variant.
- Skip base-repo weight files when a whole-pipeline single file is loaded: from_single_file
(config=base) needs only the base config/tokenizer/scheduler, so a local .safetensors no
longer triggers a multi-GB base download.
- Remove the SDXL refiner from the non-GGUF trust allowlist: it is an img2img-only pipeline
but this backend loads every sdxl repo as the base txt2img pipeline.
- Normalize a blank/whitespace hf_token to None once in load_pipeline so every load branch
degrades to anonymous instead of erroring on a malformed token.
- Read the denoiser dtype from a parameter (compile-wrapped modules may lack .dtype) and
access state.family.denoiser_attr directly.
Adds/updates regression tests for the trust allowlist, GGUF rejection, and base-config filter.
* Images: preserve restored LoRAs through model load and never send hidden LoRAs
- The LoRA effect cleared the selection on every load->capable transition, which
wiped adapters restored from a gallery recipe before the model finished loading.
Track the previously-loaded family in a ref and clear only on a real family swap;
keep the selection on the initial load and on unload.
- Gate the generate payload's loras on loraCapable so a restored selection that is
hidden (loaded model does not support LoRA) is never sent to the backend.

* Images Train LoRA dialog: token, validation, precision, base-repo prefill, gating, refresh
Nine review findings on the SDXL training dialog:
- Forward the saved Hub token so a gated/private SDXL base can be trained (the
image load flow already sends it).
- Re-seed the base-model field from the current default each time the dialog
opens; the keep-alive dialog otherwise kept its mount-time default after a
model loaded.
- Prefill from base_repo (the diffusers pipeline) rather than repo_id, which for
a GGUF/single-file SDXL load is the checkpoint path from_pretrained can't open.
- Add client-side validation of steps/rank/resolution/batch/learning-rate before
the request.
- Expose a precision selector (bf16/fp16/fp32) so non-bf16 GPUs can train from
the UI, not only the API.
- Gate the dialog on the active Images route (active && trainOpen) so switching
tabs closes it and stops its polling.
- Rescan the LoRA picker when a run completes, so a freshly-trained adapter
appears without a model reload.
- Cap the dialog height and scroll the body so the Start/Stop footer stays
reachable on short viewports.
- Correct the copy to not over-promise picker auto-discovery.
Freeing the resident Images pipeline before training is handled backend-side in
the diffusion training start route.
* Merge diffusion-sdxl into diffusion-lora-ux; keep options-only LoRA catch
The catalog-refresh .catch from the lower branch clears the selected adapters
too, which is right for its catalog-only picker but wrong here: this picker
holds free-text HF repo ids that are valid without being in the catalog, so a
transient refresh failure must not wipe them. Family swaps still clear the
selection and hidden LoRAs are never sent.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Train LoRA dialog: stop suggesting absolute paths the backend rejects
The dataset and output placeholders showed /path/to/... examples, but the
training routes resolve those fields inside the Studio home and reject
absolute paths outside the approved roots, so following the placeholder
produced a 400. Use folder-name placeholders and say in the labels and the
dialog description where each folder resolves.
* Align the VAE to the denoiser's first FLOATING dtype, not its first parameter
A GGUF-quantized transformer's leading parameters are packed uint8 storage,
so reading next(parameters()).dtype handed nn.Module.to() an integer dtype
and every image-conditioned generation on a GGUF model (Qwen-Image-Edit)
failed with a 500. Probe the parameters for the first floating dtype, treat
an all-integer module as a no-op, and also catch TypeError so an unexpected
dtype can never break generation. Regression test included.

* Count LR scheduler warmup/decay in optimizer steps, not micro-steps
lr_sched.step() runs once per outer optimizer step (after the gradient
accumulation inner loop), for train_steps total. The scheduler was
configured with num_warmup_steps and num_training_steps multiplied by
gradient_accumulation_steps, so with accumulation > 1 a warmup or
non-constant schedule stretched past the run and never reached the
intended decay. Count both in optimizer steps.
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Guard inference loads and worker lifetime against diffusion training
Teach the chat and image load guards about an active diffusion (SDXL) LoRA
job: a chat load is refused (its footprint cannot be fit-checked against the
trainer) and an image load is refused outright, mirroring the existing LLM
training guards, so a load can no longer allocate GPU memory alongside the
trainer and undo the pre-start cleanup.
Bind the diffusion trainer subprocess to the parent's lifetime and scrub the
native path lease secret from it by running the child through
run_without_native_path_secret, matching the inference/export/LLM workers, so
a Studio crash or kill no longer leaves the trainer holding the GPU.
Reset in_model_load on the complete and error terminal events: a stop or
failure during model loading otherwise leaves the status reporting a stale
loading indicator after the job has ended.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Refuse non-SDXL base models at diffusion training start
The trainer only supports the SDXL U-Net, but a FLUX / Qwen-Image / Z-Image
repo or a GGUF filename passed as base_model was accepted and then failed
minutes later inside StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained with an
unrelated-looking error. Add a name-based guard in normalized() so known
DiT-family names and .gguf checkpoints are rejected up front, which the API
start route surfaces as an immediate 400 with a message that says exactly
which bases are trainable. Unrecognisable names still pass through so custom
local SDXL checkpoints keep working.
* Add diffusion dataset upload and training info endpoints
Training an image LoRA required knowing the Studio home layout and copying
files onto the server by hand, which is the most confusing step of the whole
flow. Two small endpoints fix that:
- GET /api/train/diffusion/info reports the datasets and outputs roots plus
every dataset folder that contains images (with image/caption counts), so
the UI can offer a picker instead of a blind free-text path.
- POST /api/train/diffusion/dataset uploads images and optional caption
.txt / metadata.jsonl files into a named folder under the datasets root,
creating it on first use and accumulating on repeat uploads so large sets
can arrive in batches. Names are validated to a single path component and
files stream to disk under the same per-upload size cap as LLM dataset
uploads. The returned name is a valid data_dir for /diffusion/start.
* Rework the Train LoRA dialog into a guided SDXL flow
The dialog assumed users knew the Studio home layout and that only SDXL is
trainable, and hid both facts behind free-text fields. Restructure it around
the three real decisions:
- Base model is a dropdown of the trainable SDXL picks (Base 1.0, Turbo, the
loaded SDXL pipeline when there is one) with a custom repo/path escape
hatch, instead of a bare text field defaulting to a repo id.
- Training images come from an in-browser upload (new dataset endpoints) or
a picker over existing dataset folders with image/caption counts. No shell
access or knowledge of the datasets root is needed any more, and the
captioning rules are explained inline.
- The output field is now Adapter name and the instance prompt is labelled
as the trigger prompt, with a no-captions warning wired to the selected
dataset's actual caption count.
Hyperparameters collapse behind a training settings toggle since the
defaults suit a first run. A completed run says where the adapter went and
offers Done / Train another, and the top-bar button gets an icon and a
plainer description. The dialog title states the SDXL-only scope and that
other families load LoRAs but cannot train them yet.

* Validate diffusion training config before freeing the GPU
The start route freed resident GPU workloads (export, Images pipeline, chat)
before the service validated the config, so a start that was then refused,
now including a non-SDXL base model, tore down the user's loaded model for
nothing. Run the same cheap normalise pass first; the LLM path already
follows this rule via its before_spawn hook.

Split the SDXL trainer into a shared, architecture-agnostic layer so more model
families can be trained without duplicating the plumbing:
- New core/training/diffusion_train_common.py holds the config + validation, dataset
discovery, event emission, stop protocol, adapter publishing, and a lazy trainer
registry (get_trainer). diffusion_lora_trainer.py keeps the SDXL-specific loop and
re-exports the moved names so existing imports are unchanged.
- The SDXL-only base-model blocklist becomes a positive check: the family is resolved
from the base model (or an explicit model_family) via the diffusion family registry,
and a known-but-not-yet-trainable family is refused with a clear message. Unknown
custom names still default to the SDXL trainer.
- DiffusionFamily gains a trainable flag and train_base_repos; SDXL is marked trainable.
DiT families flip on when their trainers land.
- Trained adapters now write a <name>.json metadata sidecar (family, base model, rank,
trigger prompt, ...) that the LoRA scanner reads to family-gate the adapter in the
picker instead of showing it as unknown for every model.
- The training base-model trust allowlist adds the official FLUX.1-dev, Z-Image-Turbo,
and Qwen-Image repos (safetensors-only, no remote code).
* Retain diffusion training loss history and expose it in status
The training service kept only the latest loss, so a live loss chart could show a
single point. Fold each progress event into bounded (step, loss, lr) history arrays
(capped at 4000 points, decimated when full) plus the latest throughput and peak VRAM,
and record the family / base model / catalog path on completion. The status endpoint
returns these as a nested metric_history object the UI can chart directly, and the
start request accepts an optional model_family override.
* Tests for the diffusion training platform
Cover the trainer registry (get_trainer resolves SDXL, unknown family raises),
family resolution (explicit model_family validation, resolved_family on the config),
the metadata sidecar write + scan read with family gating, and the service loss-history
folding (append, bad-point skipping, decimation at cap, family/perf fields) plus the
status route nesting metric_history.
* Add diffusion dataset labeling and example-import endpoints
The Train tab needs to let users caption small datasets in the browser and
pull in a ready-made set to see training work end to end, neither of which
the upload-only endpoint supported.
Add, under /api/train/diffusion/dataset:
- GET {name}/images lists every image with its resolved caption (metadata
beats a per-image sidecar, matching the trainer's discovery order) so
uncaptioned images are visible and flaggable.
- GET {name}/image/{filename} serves an image, with ?thumb=<px> returning a
cached downscaled JPEG kept in a hidden .thumbs subdir (regenerated when
the source is newer) so the labeling grid stays light.
- PUT {name}/caption/{filename} writes, or when blank clears, the .txt
sidecar; DELETE {name}/image/{filename} removes the image plus its
sidecars and thumbnails.
- GET dataset-examples lists a curated, license-labelled registry, and
POST dataset/import-example materializes one into a dataset folder as
numbered images + .txt captions. Two loaders cover the shapes seen in the
wild: streaming rows from datasets.load_dataset (dog-example, Tuxemon) and
a snapshot + jsonl walk for imagefolder repos whose captions live in a
non-standard *.jsonl (the public-domain tarot set). Imports are idempotent
and cap the image count.
Filenames and dataset names are validated against path traversal and pinned
inside the datasets root.
* Test diffusion dataset labeling and example-import endpoints
Cover caption precedence, thumbnail generation and .thumbs exclusion,
caption write/clear, image delete cleanup, path-traversal rejection on
names and filenames, and example import with a mocked datasets.load_dataset
(files plus sidecars written, idempotent second call, cap respected, load
failure mapped to 502).
* Add flow-matching DiT LoRA trainers (FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image, Z-Image)
Extends diffusion LoRA training beyond SDXL to the three popular DiT families
via a single shared flow-matching loop parameterised by small per-family specs
(loading, prompt/latent encoding, transformer forward, save). Verified against
diffusers 0.38.0:
- FLUX.1-dev: 2x2 latent packing + image ids, guidance-embed forward, on-the-fly
nf4 QLoRA of the 12B transformer (the dev repo is gated, so training needs the
user's HF token).
- Qwen-Image: 5D VAE latents normalised by the per-channel latents_mean/std,
img_shapes forward, prequant nf4 base by default (on-the-fly nf4 for the bf16
base).
- Z-Image: list I/O with the reversed timestep convention and a negated
prediction, bf16 only.
The registry (get_trainer) and DiffusionFamily.trainable / train_base_repos now
route these families to the DiT trainer; the SDXL blocklist guard is replaced by
a positive family resolution that also rejects GGUF repos (inference-only) and
still-unsupported families. Per-family defaults + labels + VRAM notes are exposed
via family_train_infos for the Train UI.
Memory: caption embeddings are precomputed once and the text encoders freed
before the loop; gradient checkpointing (non-reentrant, required for bnb 4-bit)
and 8-bit AdamW are on by default.
* Speed up + shrink SDXL LoRA training (precompute text embeds, 8-bit AdamW)
SDXL re-encoded every caption with both CLIP text encoders on every step (pure
waste, since captions are constant) and kept the encoders resident. Precompute
each unique caption's embeddings once, then free the text encoders before the
loop: numerically identical (embeddings are deterministic and this consumes no
torch RNG, so the noise/timestep stream is unchanged) but faster and ~1.5 GB
lighter. Default the optimizer to 8-bit AdamW (bitsandbytes) with an fp32
fallback, halving optimizer state with no meaningful LoRA quality cost. Env
toggles (UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_NO_PRECOMPUTE / _FP32_OPTIM) let the accuracy guard
A/B the paths.
* Expose trainable families in /diffusion/info and preflight gated bases
The training info endpoint now returns the trainable model families (name,
label, default + allowed base repos, recommended defaults, and a VRAM/access
note) so the Train UI can offer a base picker with realistic guidance. The start
route preflights a gated base repo (HEAD model_index.json with the user's token)
BEFORE freeing resident GPU workloads, so a missing FLUX.1-dev license/token
fails fast with an actionable 400 instead of evicting the loaded model and then
hitting a confusing mid-load 401.
* Tests for DiT trainers, family resolution, info families, gated preflight
Cover the DiT spec table, the QLoRA prequant heuristic, the Z-Image bf16-only
guard, the gated-repo name check, family resolution now that FLUX/Qwen/Z-Image
are trainable (and GGUF repos are rejected as inference-only), the families list
in /diffusion/info, and the gated-base 400 preflight that leaves the GPU
untouched.
* Add diffusion training API client: metrics, families, dataset labeling, examples
Extends the Images training client for the Train tab: the status type now carries
metric_history (step/loss/lr) plus catalog_path/family/base_model/samples_per_second/
peak_memory_gb; the start request gains model_family; and info gains an optional
families list (per-family bases + defaults). Adds typed calls for the dataset
labeling and one-click example endpoints: list images with captions, thumbnail URL,
write/clear a caption, delete an image, list example datasets, and import an example.
* Add diffusion Train panel: config, dataset labeling, live charts, deploy
New full-page training workspace for the Images tab. Left column configures the run:
model family (FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image, Z-Image, SDXL in popularity order, with per-family
VRAM/license notes and defaults, backfilled from the backend families list when present),
base repo, dataset (existing folder, browser upload, or one-click example import), an
in-browser caption labeling grid (per-image thumbnail + caption saved on blur, delete,
uncaptioned highlight), adapter name, trigger prompt, and collapsed training settings.
Right column shows the live run: progress + loss/avg/speed/peak-VRAM readouts, the reused
training loss/LR charts fed from metric_history, and a completion card that deploys the
adapter into Create or starts another run.
* Wire Create/Train tab switch into the Images page and deploy flow
Replaces the Train LoRA dialog with a top-bar Create | Train segmented control next to
the model selector. Create renders the existing generation workspace unchanged; Train
renders the full-page training panel (unmounted in Create so its polling stops while the
backend run and its retained metric history survive a tab switch). Adds a deploy handler:
loading the trained adapter's base as a pipeline, queueing the adapter so the LoRA
discovery effect applies it once the base is loaded and LoRA-capable for the matching
family (with a mismatch warning), seeding the prompt with the trigger, and switching back
to Create. Removes the now-unused dialog.
* Wrap the DiT training forward in bf16 autocast
The fp32 LoRA parameters and the bnb 4-bit base matmuls need a single
compute dtype during the forward, exactly like the diffusers dreambooth
scripts run under accelerator.autocast. Without it the 4-bit backward on
FLUX.1-dev fails with an illegal-address CUBLAS error partway into the
first step. Z-Image and Qwen-Image smokes are unaffected and the SDXL
path (its own trainer) is untouched.

* Fix Train tab example cards and Create/Train tab layout
The example-dataset cards used a two-column grid in the ~340px config
column, which wrapped titles one word per line and let the long license
text overrun into the neighbouring card. Switch to one card per row with a
horizontal layout: title with a compact truncated license badge (full text
in the tooltip), a two-line clamped description, and the Import button on
the right.
The Create/Train switch had an icon inside the Train trigger that overhung
the pill corner. Drop the icon, make both triggers a fixed equal width so
the active pill sits flush in the top bar.
* Show only loss and learning-rate charts for diffusion training
The Train tab reused the LLM charts section, which also rendered an empty
Grad Norm card and an Eval Loss card showing an Evaluation not configured
placeholder with a red smear. Neither applies to diffusion LoRA training.
Add a diffusion-only two-card view that reuses the loss and learning-rate
cards directly with fixed presentation defaults, and note under the loss
chart that per-step loss is noisy by design so users read the smoothed
line for the trend rather than the raw jitter.
* Add a dataset preview strip to the Train tab
When a dataset with images is selected, show a strip of up to 8 sampled
thumbnails with a +N more tile, so users can see what is in the folder
before training. Clicking the strip opens the existing caption review
grid. Samples are drawn evenly across the folder and refresh on dataset
change or after an upload/import.
* Stop example cards from overflowing the Train config column
The example-dataset cards still overran the ~340px config column: the
license used the Badge component whose baked-in w-fit and whitespace-nowrap
ignored the max-width and truncate, and the grid children had the default
min-width auto so wide content pushed past the column edge and clipped the
Import buttons. Replace the badge with a plain truncating pill span, and
give the config column min-w-0 with overflow-x-hidden so nothing escapes
its width.
* Add Smithsonian Butterflies and Nouns example datasets
Two permissive ~100-image sets for the Train tab: huggan/smithsonian_butterflies_subset
(CC0, the classic diffusers-docs training set, imported as a subject set with a trigger
prompt since its metadata columns are species names not captions) and m1guelpf/nouns
(CC0, captioned pixel-art avatars via the text column). Both cap at 100 images.
* Paginate the Train tab caption grid with prev/next controls
Large example datasets (100+ images) rendered every tile at once, so the
caption review grid grew unbounded. Show 24 images per page with < >
chevrons and an x-y of N indicator; a new dataset or refresh resets to
the first page.
* Offer example datasets in the Train dropdown with previews
Add an Examples group to the training-images dropdown that imports a
curated dataset in one pick, alongside the existing cards. Cards now show
up to three preview thumbnails pulled from the public HF datasets-server
so the set is visible before download. Hide the trigger prompt when every
image already has a caption (a captioned style set needs no trigger), and
turn the training-settings toggle into a ghost button with a rotating
chevron.
* Clamp the training base repo to the selected family
The base-model select's state could briefly hold the previous family's
repo after a family switch (the reseed effect runs a beat later, and a
value with no matching option makes the browser display the first option
anyway). The request then carried the stale repo: picking Qwen or Z-Image
still sent black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev and surfaced FLUX's gated-repo
error under the wrong family. Derive an effectiveBase clamped to the
current family's repos and use it for the select value, the start
request, and the deploy fallback.
Also move the Trigger prompt above Adapter name: the trigger describes
the dataset, the name only labels the output.
* Speed up diffusion LoRA training and cut DiT peak VRAM by a third
Perf core for the diffusion trainers, defaults preserving the training math:
- Phased model loading: the pipeline now loads without its transformer
(conditioning only), captions are encoded and the text encoders freed,
the VAE latent cache is built and the VAE freed, and only then does the
transformer load. The multi-GB denoiser never shares VRAM with the
encoders, cutting measured peak VRAM on B200: FLUX 17.1 -> 10.4 GB,
Qwen-Image 19.1 -> 12.8 GB, Z-Image 7.3 -> 4.7 GB.
- Latent cache (cache_latents, default on): per-image crop/flip variants
(cache_variants, default 4 vs the single frozen variant of the diffusers
--cache_latents) store the VAE posterior's affine parameters, so every
step still draws a fresh VAE sample; a cached center-crop Z-Image run
matches the uncached one at the bf16 nondeterminism floor.
- True batching: train_batch_size now actually batches the transformer
forward (it was silently 1). nf4 dequant dominates the step cost, so
batch 4 lands near batch-1 step time: 4.0x samples/s on Qwen-Image,
3.1x on FLUX, 2.1x on Z-Image, with multi-seed loss envelopes
overlapping batch-1.
- LR scheduler support in the DiT loop (lr_scheduler / lr_warmup_steps
were accepted but ignored); progress events now report the real
per-step LR.
- TF32 + high fp32 matmul precision under enable_tf32 (default on),
snapshot/restored around the run. cudnn.benchmark is scoped to a
caller opt-in only: autotuning the fp32 VAE convs doubled peak VRAM
on the DiT families for zero steady-state gain.
- Vectorized sigma gathering (drops a per-step Python search loop),
cached FLUX img_ids/guidance, fused torch AdamW fallback, steady-state
samples_per_second (excludes the first-step warmup).
- Regional torch.compile plumbing (compile_transformer off/on/auto with
eager fallback): auto stays off over a bitsandbytes base where compile
is a net loss (27 s warmup, slightly slower steady on Z-Image); it
arms automatically for the dense/quantized speed modes that follow.
- Stop parity with the LLM trainer: /api/train/diffusion/stop accepts an
optional {save} body and the service forwards save=False as a
no-save cancel; a new preparing event surfaces cache-build progress.
- SDXL trainer gets the same latent cache, perf flags, and fused
fallback; its batching, LR schedule, and min-SNR stay as they were.
Verified: 83 backend tests green; per-family 30-40 step runs with
adapter round-trip generation through the normal LoRA path (FLUX,
Qwen-Image, Z-Image all pass).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Add base_precision speed modes to DiT training: bf16 2.3-2.6x, int8, fp8
New base_precision config for the DiT trainers: nf4 (unchanged default) |
bf16 | int8 | fp8 | auto, advertised per family + per machine through
/api/train/diffusion/info (precision_modes, recommended_precision,
supports_compile) so the UI can gate the selector.
- bf16: dense transformer + regional torch.compile (auto-armed). The
measured speed mode: 2.3x nf4 on FLUX (1.81 -> 4.12 steps/s), 2.6x on
Z-Image (2.5 -> 6.38 steps/s) on B200, at dense-weight VRAM
(FLUX 24.7 GB / Z-Image 13.6 GB peak vs 10.4 / 4.7 for nf4).
- int8: torchao weight-only int8 on the frozen base, quantized AFTER
add_adapter (quantizing first trips peft 0.18's TorchaoLoraLinear,
which is incompatible with the torchao 0.16 config API). Runs eager:
inductor rejects the int8 subclass training graph (aliased subclass
outputs), so compile is force-disabled for it.
- fp8: torchao convert_to_float8_training on the frozen linears
(filter skips lora_ modules, proj_out, non-divisible-by-16 dims,
pad_inner_dim), applied after add_adapter, compile auto-armed.
Works and round-trips, but measured SLOWER than compiled bf16 at
LoRA-training shapes (FLUX 3.15 vs 4.12 steps/s; Z-Image similar),
so it is an explicit opt-in and auto never picks it.
- auto: free VRAM (measured before load) + dense-size table -> bf16
when it fits with headroom, int8 in the middle band, else nf4.
Prequant bnb repos always resolve to nf4; dense modes on them are
rejected at validation with a pointer to the family's dense base.
Two crashes found and fixed along the way:
- The cuDNN SDPA backend's training graph fails on the FLUX attention
shapes (torch 2.10 + cu130, B200): mha_graph.execute errors, then the
context degrades into illegal memory accesses. The perf-flag guard now
pins flash/mem-efficient SDPA for the run (mathematically equivalent,
snapshot/restored). nf4 escaped it by routing attention differently.
- Regional compile now uses dynamic=True (the inference layer's proven
default): dynamic=False specialisation fused a gemm_and_bias epilogue
that failed with CUBLAS_STATUS_EXECUTION_FAILED on the FLUX training
graph; dynamic=True is also faster (Z-Image 3.84 -> 6.38 steps/s).
Verified: 98 backend tests green (new test_diffusion_base_precision.py:
validation, auto policy table, fp8 filter, compile gating, /info fields);
per-mode 40-step runs on FLUX + Z-Image with loss means inside the nf4
envelope and adapter round-trip generation through the normal LoRA path
for bf16-, fp8-, and int8-trained adapters.
* Clear TF32 flags when enable_tf32 is off so the opt-out is strict fp32
* Address review: auto int8 requires the dense-load transient to fit, dense modes are CUDA-only, auto respects bf16 compute, exact cudnn SDPA restore

* Address review: fp32 latent cache stats + strict-JSON-safe progress floats
- Latent caches (DiT + SDXL) now hold the posterior mean/std in fp32 and draw the
per-step sample in fp32, casting only the result to the training dtype. This
matches the in-loop path (encode fp32 -> sample fp32 -> cast) exactly instead of
sampling in bf16; the cache is tiny so the doubled RAM is negligible.
- The training service nulls non-finite floats (NaN/Inf loss, avg_loss,
learning_rate) at its single ingestion point so status snapshots and persisted
run records stay strict-JSON serializable; the metric history skips non-finite
loss points. Test covers NaN/Inf progress followed by a finite point.
* Address review: gate auto int8 on torchao, scope dense validation to DiT
- base_precision="auto" only picks int8 when torchao is importable (the int8
quantize has no runtime fallback, unlike fp8); otherwise the middle band falls
back to nf4. Threaded as a parameter so the policy stays pure.
- The dense-mode validation (prequant base / bf16 compute) now applies only to
DiT families: sdxl ignores base_precision entirely, so a leftover value can no
longer fail an SDXL run. The mode-name validity check still runs everywhere.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Gate int8 and fp8 on a functional torchao import, not find_spec
The Windows ROCm torchao import stub satisfies find_spec and even lets
from torchao.quantization import quantize_ succeed, but its quantize_ is a
no-op: auto would pick int8, leave the transformer dense, and disable
compile as if it were quantized. has_functional_torchao imports the exact
symbols the int8 path uses and rejects the stub via its sentinel; both the
auto picker and the /info advertised modes now use it

* Skip the sigma-gather test when diffusers is not installed
CI runs the backend suite without diffusers; the test checks our index math against
the scheduler's own gather, so it skips rather than fails there.
* Coerce cache_latents and enable_tf32 string flags in the config dict path
The generic Studio config dict path can deliver these flags as strings, and a
non-empty string like "false" is truthy, so an opt-out silently no-ops (the
latent cache still builds, TF32 stays on). Coerce them the same way
gradient_checkpointing already is.
* Remove committed runtime scratch artifacts and ignore their dirs
logs/ (a 1.3 MB ComfyUI object_info dump plus stale PID files), temp/ (PR body
and commit message scratch), and async_task_outputs/ (agent task transcripts)
are environment specific runtime artifacts that were committed by accident and
carry stale local state into every checkout. Remove them and gitignore the
directories so they cannot be re-added.

* Restore pre-Ampere bf16 fail-fast in the DiT trainer
The perf rewrite dropped the bf16 capability guard, so a pre-Ampere CUDA
device (T4/V100/RTX 20xx) would die deep in model load with an opaque dtype
error instead of a clear message. Restores parity with the SDXL trainer.
* Size-gate the automatic diffusion latent cache
The latent cache holds two fp32 posterior tensors per crop/flip variant per
image, pinned on CUDA hosts, so datasets with thousands of images can exhaust
host or pinned memory with no fallback. Estimate the cache size from the first
real encoded latent and fall back to per-step VAE encoding when it exceeds a
4 GiB budget. UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_FORCE_LATENT_CACHE bypasses the gate; the
existing UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_NO_LATENT_CACHE opt-out is unchanged.

* Gate DiT training precision: deny fp8 for Qwen, gate explicit int8 on torchao, gate advertised dense modes + route on bf16
- normalized() + family_train_infos() mirror the inference fp8 deny for
Qwen-Image (activation outliers exceed fp8's range and corrupt the trained
result); int8 stays allowed and the UI no longer advertises fp8 for it.
- _resolve_base_precision() gates an explicit int8 on a FUNCTIONAL torchao, the
same gate auto and /info already apply, so a missing/stub torchao fails fast
instead of silently loading dense with compile disabled.
- train_precision_modes() gates the dense modes (bf16/int8/fp8/auto) on
torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported(), so a non-bf16 CUDA GPU (T4/V100/RTX 20xx) is
offered only nf4 instead of a start that evicts resident models and then fails.
- start_diffusion_training preflights bf16 support for the DiT families BEFORE
_free_gpu_for_diffusion_training(), so any DiT start (nf4 included, since the
trainer requires bf16 unconditionally on CUDA) fails fast without eviction.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Gate DiT training on functional torchao for explicit int8; hide always-400 DiT modes on non-bf16 GPUs
The start route preflight only rejected non-bf16 GPUs; an explicit int8 request on
a host with a missing or stub torchao passed the preflight, evicted resident GPU
workloads, then died in the trainer child (its int8 base quantizer has no fallback).
Fold both gates into training_precision_preflight_error so int8-without-torchao fails
fast before eviction. Also empty the advertised DiT precision_modes (and surface the
reason in vram_note, drop compile) whenever the bf16 preflight would reject the family,
so /info never offers an nf4 DiT option the route always 400s.
* Reject dense DiT precisions on a CUDA-absent host before eviction; stabilize family-info tests
The start-route preflight caught the bf16-GPU and int8-torchao requirements but not the dense
precisions' CUDA requirement: on a GPU-less host bf16_unsupported_reason exempts CPU-only, so a
bf16/fp8 (or int8-with-torchao) DiT request passed the preflight, evicted resident workloads, then
raised only in the trainer child. Add the dense-mode CUDA gate mirroring _resolve_base_precision so
the doomed run is rejected up front. Also pin bf16_unsupported_reason in the two positive-path
family-info tests so they are deterministic across GPU types (a non-bf16 CUDA box would otherwise
empty every DiT family's advertised modes).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion: ControlNet for the Images workflow (diffusers)
Add ControlNet conditioning, the #2 most-used diffusion workflow after
LoRA, on the diffusers backend for the families with ControlNet pipelines
(FLUX.1 and Qwen-Image), with Union models as the default picks.
Backend
- New core/inference/diffusion_controlnet.py: family-gated discovery
(curated Union models + local dirs + bare owner/name repos), resolution
to a loadable repo/dir, control-image preprocessing (passthrough +
a dependency-free canny edge map), and a supports_controlnet gate.
- diffusion.py: a ControlNet manager parallel to the LoRA one. Loads the
(small) ControlNet model once via from_pretrained (cached by id) and
builds the family's ControlNet pipeline via Pipeline.from_pipe(base,
controlnet=model), reusing the resident base modules at their loaded
dtype (no reload, no recast). Passes the control image + conditioning
scale + guidance start/end at generate time; cleared on unload.
- Families: FLUX.1 -> FluxControlNetPipeline/Model, Qwen-Image ->
QwenImageControlNetPipeline/Model. Others declare none (gated off).
- Gated off for the native engine, GGUF-via-diffusers, and torchao
fp8/int8 dense (same rule as LoRA). v1 conditions txt2img only.
- Request contract: optional controlnet on DiffusionGenerateRequest;
supports_controlnet in status; the choice persisted in gallery meta.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-controlnets for the picker.
Frontend
- A ControlNet control in the Images rail (model select + control-image
upload + control-type select + strength slider), gated by the loaded
model's supports_controlnet + family, shown for text-to-image.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_controlnet.py (10): discovery/resolve/preprocess/gate
helpers, request validation, family wiring, and the diffusers pipe
manager (loads once, caches, from_pipe with controlnet, rejects
unsupported families).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio ControlNet: show the picker on the Create tab (workflow id is 'create', not 'txt2img')
The ControlNet control gated on workflow === 'txt2img', but the Images workflow tab ids are create/transform/inpaint/extend/upscale/reference/edit -- there is no 'txt2img'. So the picker never rendered even with a ControlNet-capable model loaded. Gate on 'create' (the text-to-image tab) for both the picker and the request wiring. Found via a live Playwright capture of the running Studio.
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Add SDXL diffusion family (U-Net pipeline support)
SDXL is the first U-Net family in the diffusion backend: its denoiser is
pipe.unet (UNet2DConditionModel), not a DiT pipe.transformer, and a single-file
.safetensors is the whole pipeline rather than a transformer-only file. The
backend previously assumed a DiT transformer everywhere, so add the two hooks a
U-Net family needs and register SDXL.
DiffusionFamily gains denoiser_attr ("transformer" for DiT, "unet" for SDXL) and
single_file_is_pipeline (SDXL loads a single file via pipeline_class.from_single_file
with the base repo as config, instead of transformer_class.from_single_file plus a
companion assembly). _align_vae_dtype now reads the denoiser generically so img2img
and inpaint keep the VAE and U-Net dtypes aligned.
The non-GGUF trust gate is extended with a short, exact-match, safetensors-only
allowlist of official base repos (the SDXL base/refiner and sdxl-turbo), because
SDXL ships only as a full pipeline and has no unsloth-hosted GGUF. Local paths stay
trusted as before; a random repo, even one that detects as SDXL, is still rejected.
The image-conditioned and ControlNet workflows are the standard SDXL pipelines,
built around the resident modules via from_pipe like every other family, so SDXL
gets txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, upscale, LoRA and ControlNet. There is no
native sd.cpp mapping yet, so the no-GPU route falls back to diffusers.
Frontend catalog gains SDXL Base 1.0 and SDXL Turbo entries with SDXL step/guidance
defaults (Turbo: few steps, no CFG; base: ~30 steps, real CFG).
Tests: new test_diffusion_sdxl.py (family shape, detection, trust allowlist, model
kind, U-Net VAE-dtype alignment, LoRA gate) plus loader-branch tests in
test_diffusion_backend.py (pipeline-kind from_pretrained, single-file whole-pipeline
from_single_file, allowlist accept/reject). Verified live on GPU: sdxl-turbo loads
both as a pipeline and as a single file and generates coherent txt2img + img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: LoRA free-text Hugging Face entry + recipe round-trip
The backend has always accepted a bare Hugging Face repo id (owner/name, or
owner/name:weight-file.safetensors) as a LoRA, downloading and applying it. But the
picker only rendered when the curated catalog had entries, and the catalog is empty,
so there was no UI path to apply any LoRA. Show the LoRA section whenever the loaded
model supports LoRA, and replace the curated-only dropdown with a text input: type a
Hub repo id, or pick a discovered adapter from a datalist of suggestions when the
catalog is populated.
Also restore LoRAs when loading a recipe. restoreSettings now parses the recipe's
"id:weight" strings (splitting on the last colon, since the id itself may contain one
for a specific weight file) back into the selection, so replaying a saved image
reproduces its adapters. The generate payload trims hand-typed ids and drops empty /
zero-weight rows, and a model swap clears the selection (a LoRA is family-specific)
without discarding a free-text pick that is not in the curated list.
* Add diffusion LoRA training (SDXL text-to-image)
First diffusion training path in Studio: train a LoRA on the SDXL U-Net from an
image + caption dataset and export it as a diffusers .safetensors that the existing
diffusion LoRA loader (and any diffusers pipeline) can load.
core/training/diffusion_lora_trainer.py:
- DiffusionLoraConfig with validation/defaults (rank, alpha, targets, lr, steps, grad
accumulation, resolution, min-SNR gamma, gradient checkpointing, lr scheduler, seed,
mixed precision).
- discover_image_caption_pairs: captions from metadata.jsonl / captions.jsonl, per-image
.txt/.caption sidecars, or a dreambooth instance_prompt fallback (pure, unit-tested).
- run_diffusion_lora_training: the loop -- freeze base, PEFT-wrap the U-Net attention
projections, VAE-encode (fp32 VAE to avoid the SDXL fp16 overflow), sample noise +
timesteps, predict, MSE loss with optional min-SNR weighting (epsilon / v-prediction),
AdamW + get_scheduler + grad accumulation + grad clipping, then export via
save_lora_weights. Emits worker-protocol events (model_load_*, progress, complete) and
polls should_stop for a clean stop with a partial save.
- run_diffusion_training_process: mp.Queue subprocess adapter (event_queue / stop_queue),
so the training worker can spawn it; plus a CLI entry point.
Only SDXL (U-Net) is trained here; DiT families and the Studio UI form + route wiring are
follow-ups. The trainer is decoupled and worker-ready.
Tests: test_diffusion_lora_trainer.py covers caption discovery (metadata / sidecar /
instance prompt / skip-uncaptioned / errors), config normalisation + validation, the SDXL
add-time-ids, and the dict->config adapter. Verified live on GPU: a 60-step SDXL LoRA run
lowers the loss, exports a ~45 MB adapter, and loading it back shifts generation from
baseline (mean abs pixel diff ~55/255).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* diffusion trainer: emit learning_rate in progress events (Studio pump compatibility)
The Studio training pump reads 'learning_rate' from progress events; the diffusion
trainer emitted 'lr'. Rename the field (and the CLI reader) so the trainer's events are
directly consumable by the existing training status/SSE machinery when it is wired into
the worker, without a translation shim.
* Wire diffusion LoRA training into the Studio API
Make the SDXL LoRA trainer reachable from the app with a small, self-contained job
service and JSON routes, deliberately separate from the LLM TrainingBackend (whose
lifecycle -- LLM config build, per-run SQLite rows, matplotlib plots, transfer-to-chat-
inference -- is text-training specific and would mis-handle a diffusion run).
core/training/diffusion_training_service.py: DiffusionTrainingService runs one job at a
time -- validate the config cheaply (before any spawn), spawn the trainer subprocess
(spawn context, parent-lifetime bound), pump its events (model_load_* / progress /
complete / error) into an in-memory status snapshot, and support a clean stop. The
subprocess context and target are injectable so the full start -> pump -> status ->
complete path is unit-tested without real multiprocessing or torch.
routes/training.py: POST /api/train/diffusion/start (400 on a bad config, 409 when a job
is already running), POST /api/train/diffusion/stop, GET /api/train/diffusion/status
(JSON poll). models/training.py: DiffusionTrainingStartRequest + response schemas
mirroring DiffusionLoraConfig, so model_dump() passes straight through.
Tests: test_diffusion_training.py -- service happy path, bad-config-before-spawn,
concurrent-job rejection, clean stop, crash-without-terminal-event, event transitions;
plus route wiring via the FastAPI TestClient (start / 422 / 400 / 409 / status / stop)
with a mocked service. The diffusion trainer's progress events already use the field
names this path expects.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: add a Train LoRA (SDXL) dialog
Surface the diffusion training API in the Images page. A "Train LoRA" button in the top
bar opens a self-contained dialog to fine-tune an SDXL LoRA on a folder of images: pick
the base model, dataset folder, output folder, an optional instance prompt, and the core
hyperparameters (steps, rank, resolution, batch, learning rate), then Start. The dialog
polls the training status while open and shows a progress bar, step count, live loss, and
the saved adapter path, with a Stop button for a clean stop.
The dialog is independent of the loaded generation model (training runs in its own
subprocess), and prefills the base model with the loaded checkpoint when it is SDXL, else
the SDXL base. api.ts gains startDiffusionTraining / stopDiffusionTraining /
getDiffusionTrainingStatus plus their types, matching the /api/train/diffusion routes.
* Import diffusion training schemas from models.training directly
The import-hoist lint flags newly re-exported names in the models/__init__.py hub as
unused (it does not treat __all__ membership as a use). Import the three diffusion
training schemas straight from models.training in routes/training.py, where they are
used in the route annotations and calls, and drop the __init__ re-export.
* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* Pipeline prefetch: fetch only the default torch weights
A full-pipeline prefetch kept every repo file outside assets/, so an official
repo that ships multiple formats (SDXL Base: fp16 variants, ONNX, OpenVINO,
Flax, a top-level single-file twin) downloaded tens of GB from_pretrained never
loads. Skip non-torch exports and dtype-variant twins in
_pipeline_file_downloaded, and drop a component .bin when the same directory
carries a picked safetensors weight (diffusers' own preference).
* Diffusion LoRA training: fall back to fp16 when CUDA lacks bf16
The default mixed_precision=bf16 hard-fails on pre-Ampere GPUs (T4 / V100 /
RTX 20xx) which have no bf16 compute; check torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
and drop to fp16 there.
* Diffusion training service: join the old pump outside the lock
start() joined a finished job's pump thread while holding the service lock,
but the pump's final state writes need that same lock, so the join always
burned its full timeout and a stale pump could then overwrite the new job's
state. Join outside the lock (with a re-check after), and fence _apply_event
and the exit handler by process identity so a superseded pump can never touch
the current job's state. Adds regression tests for both.

* Diffusion LoRA training: harden config handling, cancellation, SDXL conditioning, and safety
Addresses review findings on the SDXL LoRA trainer:
- Gate the base model with the same trust check as inference (unsloth/*, allowlisted
official bases, or a local path) before from_pretrained, so an untrusted remote repo
is never fetched or deserialised.
- Check the stop signal before the (slow) model load, not only between steps, so a
cancel during download is honoured; a stop may carry save=False to cancel without
leaving a partial adapter.
- Per-sample SDXL add_time_ids from the actual crop (original size + crop offset, with
the offset mirrored on horizontal flip) instead of a fixed uncropped-square tensor.
- Apply EXIF orientation before resize/crop so rotated photos train upright.
- Skip gradient clipping when max_grad_norm <= 0 (the Studio 'disable' value) instead
of scaling every gradient to zero.
- Coerce Studio config strings/blanks: learning_rate string to float, blank hf_token to
anonymous, gradient_checkpointing 'none'/'true'/'unsloth' to bool; reject a zero/negative
lora_alpha or learning_rate.
- Alias the generic Studio training payload keys (model_name/max_steps/batch_size/lora_r/
lr_scheduler_type/random_seed) onto the diffusion field names.
- Mirror the trained adapter into loras/diffusion so the Images LoRA picker discovers it.
- Report worker exceptions in both message and error keys so the failure is not lost.
Adds regression tests for the config coercion/validation and aliasing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.

* Diffusion training API: LLM interlock, pre-spawn VRAM free, path containment, no dropped knobs
Four review findings on the diffusion training start path:
- It spawned the SDXL trainer without checking the LLM TrainingBackend, so a
start while an LLM run was active put two trainers on the same GPU. Add a
symmetric interlock: diffusion start returns 409 when LLM training is active,
and LLM start refuses while a diffusion job is active.
- It went straight to service.start() without freeing GPU residents. Add a
pre-spawn free of the export subprocess, the resident Images pipeline (with an
arbiter release), and chat models, mirroring the LLM start path.
- data_dir / output_dir were passed through unresolved, so Studio-relative names
failed and absolute paths bypassed containment. Resolve them with
resolve_dataset_path / resolve_output_dir before spawn (400 on an uncontained
path).
- The request model dropped max_grad_norm and lora_target_modules, so runs that
set them trained with defaults. Add both fields.
The gemini pump-join deadlock was already fixed earlier (join outside the lock +
proc-identity fence). Note: honoring a stop DURING model load is a trainer-loop
change owned by the diffusion training engine PR (should_stop polled before the
first optimizer step). Adds route + model regression tests.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.

* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* SDXL: reject GGUF up front, skip unused base weights, drop refiner, and harden helpers
Addresses review findings on the SDXL family:
- Reject a GGUF load for single_file_is_pipeline families (SDXL) in validate_load_request,
before the route evicts the current model; SDXL has no transformer-only GGUF variant.
- Skip base-repo weight files when a whole-pipeline single file is loaded: from_single_file
(config=base) needs only the base config/tokenizer/scheduler, so a local .safetensors no
longer triggers a multi-GB base download.
- Remove the SDXL refiner from the non-GGUF trust allowlist: it is an img2img-only pipeline
but this backend loads every sdxl repo as the base txt2img pipeline.
- Normalize a blank/whitespace hf_token to None once in load_pipeline so every load branch
degrades to anonymous instead of erroring on a malformed token.
- Read the denoiser dtype from a parameter (compile-wrapped modules may lack .dtype) and
access state.family.denoiser_attr directly.
Adds/updates regression tests for the trust allowlist, GGUF rejection, and base-config filter.
* Images: preserve restored LoRAs through model load and never send hidden LoRAs
- The LoRA effect cleared the selection on every load->capable transition, which
wiped adapters restored from a gallery recipe before the model finished loading.
Track the previously-loaded family in a ref and clear only on a real family swap;
keep the selection on the initial load and on unload.
- Gate the generate payload's loras on loraCapable so a restored selection that is
hidden (loaded model does not support LoRA) is never sent to the backend.

* Images Train LoRA dialog: token, validation, precision, base-repo prefill, gating, refresh
Nine review findings on the SDXL training dialog:
- Forward the saved Hub token so a gated/private SDXL base can be trained (the
image load flow already sends it).
- Re-seed the base-model field from the current default each time the dialog
opens; the keep-alive dialog otherwise kept its mount-time default after a
model loaded.
- Prefill from base_repo (the diffusers pipeline) rather than repo_id, which for
a GGUF/single-file SDXL load is the checkpoint path from_pretrained can't open.
- Add client-side validation of steps/rank/resolution/batch/learning-rate before
the request.
- Expose a precision selector (bf16/fp16/fp32) so non-bf16 GPUs can train from
the UI, not only the API.
- Gate the dialog on the active Images route (active && trainOpen) so switching
tabs closes it and stops its polling.
- Rescan the LoRA picker when a run completes, so a freshly-trained adapter
appears without a model reload.
- Cap the dialog height and scroll the body so the Start/Stop footer stays
reachable on short viewports.
- Correct the copy to not over-promise picker auto-discovery.
Freeing the resident Images pipeline before training is handled backend-side in
the diffusion training start route.
* Merge diffusion-sdxl into diffusion-lora-ux; keep options-only LoRA catch
The catalog-refresh .catch from the lower branch clears the selected adapters
too, which is right for its catalog-only picker but wrong here: this picker
holds free-text HF repo ids that are valid without being in the catalog, so a
transient refresh failure must not wipe them. Family swaps still clear the
selection and hidden LoRAs are never sent.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Train LoRA dialog: stop suggesting absolute paths the backend rejects
The dataset and output placeholders showed /path/to/... examples, but the
training routes resolve those fields inside the Studio home and reject
absolute paths outside the approved roots, so following the placeholder
produced a 400. Use folder-name placeholders and say in the labels and the
dialog description where each folder resolves.
* Align the VAE to the denoiser's first FLOATING dtype, not its first parameter
A GGUF-quantized transformer's leading parameters are packed uint8 storage,
so reading next(parameters()).dtype handed nn.Module.to() an integer dtype
and every image-conditioned generation on a GGUF model (Qwen-Image-Edit)
failed with a 500. Probe the parameters for the first floating dtype, treat
an all-integer module as a no-op, and also catch TypeError so an unexpected
dtype can never break generation. Regression test included.

* Count LR scheduler warmup/decay in optimizer steps, not micro-steps
lr_sched.step() runs once per outer optimizer step (after the gradient
accumulation inner loop), for train_steps total. The scheduler was
configured with num_warmup_steps and num_training_steps multiplied by
gradient_accumulation_steps, so with accumulation > 1 a warmup or
non-constant schedule stretched past the run and never reached the
intended decay. Count both in optimizer steps.
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Guard inference loads and worker lifetime against diffusion training
Teach the chat and image load guards about an active diffusion (SDXL) LoRA
job: a chat load is refused (its footprint cannot be fit-checked against the
trainer) and an image load is refused outright, mirroring the existing LLM
training guards, so a load can no longer allocate GPU memory alongside the
trainer and undo the pre-start cleanup.
Bind the diffusion trainer subprocess to the parent's lifetime and scrub the
native path lease secret from it by running the child through
run_without_native_path_secret, matching the inference/export/LLM workers, so
a Studio crash or kill no longer leaves the trainer holding the GPU.
Reset in_model_load on the complete and error terminal events: a stop or
failure during model loading otherwise leaves the status reporting a stale
loading indicator after the job has ended.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Refuse non-SDXL base models at diffusion training start
The trainer only supports the SDXL U-Net, but a FLUX / Qwen-Image / Z-Image
repo or a GGUF filename passed as base_model was accepted and then failed
minutes later inside StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained with an
unrelated-looking error. Add a name-based guard in normalized() so known
DiT-family names and .gguf checkpoints are rejected up front, which the API
start route surfaces as an immediate 400 with a message that says exactly
which bases are trainable. Unrecognisable names still pass through so custom
local SDXL checkpoints keep working.
* Add diffusion dataset upload and training info endpoints
Training an image LoRA required knowing the Studio home layout and copying
files onto the server by hand, which is the most confusing step of the whole
flow. Two small endpoints fix that:
- GET /api/train/diffusion/info reports the datasets and outputs roots plus
every dataset folder that contains images (with image/caption counts), so
the UI can offer a picker instead of a blind free-text path.
- POST /api/train/diffusion/dataset uploads images and optional caption
.txt / metadata.jsonl files into a named folder under the datasets root,
creating it on first use and accumulating on repeat uploads so large sets
can arrive in batches. Names are validated to a single path component and
files stream to disk under the same per-upload size cap as LLM dataset
uploads. The returned name is a valid data_dir for /diffusion/start.
* Rework the Train LoRA dialog into a guided SDXL flow
The dialog assumed users knew the Studio home layout and that only SDXL is
trainable, and hid both facts behind free-text fields. Restructure it around
the three real decisions:
- Base model is a dropdown of the trainable SDXL picks (Base 1.0, Turbo, the
loaded SDXL pipeline when there is one) with a custom repo/path escape
hatch, instead of a bare text field defaulting to a repo id.
- Training images come from an in-browser upload (new dataset endpoints) or
a picker over existing dataset folders with image/caption counts. No shell
access or knowledge of the datasets root is needed any more, and the
captioning rules are explained inline.
- The output field is now Adapter name and the instance prompt is labelled
as the trigger prompt, with a no-captions warning wired to the selected
dataset's actual caption count.
Hyperparameters collapse behind a training settings toggle since the
defaults suit a first run. A completed run says where the adapter went and
offers Done / Train another, and the top-bar button gets an icon and a
plainer description. The dialog title states the SDXL-only scope and that
other families load LoRAs but cannot train them yet.

* Validate diffusion training config before freeing the GPU
The start route freed resident GPU workloads (export, Images pipeline, chat)
before the service validated the config, so a start that was then refused,
now including a non-SDXL base model, tore down the user's loaded model for
nothing. Run the same cheap normalise pass first; the LLM path already
follows this rule via its before_spawn hook.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Refactor diffusion LoRA training into a family-aware platform
Split the SDXL trainer into a shared, architecture-agnostic layer so more model
families can be trained without duplicating the plumbing:
- New core/training/diffusion_train_common.py holds the config + validation, dataset
discovery, event emission, stop protocol, adapter publishing, and a lazy trainer
registry (get_trainer). diffusion_lora_trainer.py keeps the SDXL-specific loop and
re-exports the moved names so existing imports are unchanged.
- The SDXL-only base-model blocklist becomes a positive check: the family is resolved
from the base model (or an explicit model_family) via the diffusion family registry,
and a known-but-not-yet-trainable family is refused with a clear message. Unknown
custom names still default to the SDXL trainer.
- DiffusionFamily gains a trainable flag and train_base_repos; SDXL is marked trainable.
DiT families flip on when their trainers land.
- Trained adapters now write a <name>.json metadata sidecar (family, base model, rank,
trigger prompt, ...) that the LoRA scanner reads to family-gate the adapter in the
picker instead of showing it as unknown for every model.
- The training base-model trust allowlist adds the official FLUX.1-dev, Z-Image-Turbo,
and Qwen-Image repos (safetensors-only, no remote code).
* Retain diffusion training loss history and expose it in status
The training service kept only the latest loss, so a live loss chart could show a
single point. Fold each progress event into bounded (step, loss, lr) history arrays
(capped at 4000 points, decimated when full) plus the latest throughput and peak VRAM,
and record the family / base model / catalog path on completion. The status endpoint
returns these as a nested metric_history object the UI can chart directly, and the
start request accepts an optional model_family override.
* Tests for the diffusion training platform
Cover the trainer registry (get_trainer resolves SDXL, unknown family raises),
family resolution (explicit model_family validation, resolved_family on the config),
the metadata sidecar write + scan read with family gating, and the service loss-history
folding (append, bad-point skipping, decimation at cap, family/perf fields) plus the
status route nesting metric_history.
* Add diffusion dataset labeling and example-import endpoints
The Train tab needs to let users caption small datasets in the browser and
pull in a ready-made set to see training work end to end, neither of which
the upload-only endpoint supported.
Add, under /api/train/diffusion/dataset:
- GET {name}/images lists every image with its resolved caption (metadata
beats a per-image sidecar, matching the trainer's discovery order) so
uncaptioned images are visible and flaggable.
- GET {name}/image/{filename} serves an image, with ?thumb=<px> returning a
cached downscaled JPEG kept in a hidden .thumbs subdir (regenerated when
the source is newer) so the labeling grid stays light.
- PUT {name}/caption/{filename} writes, or when blank clears, the .txt
sidecar; DELETE {name}/image/{filename} removes the image plus its
sidecars and thumbnails.
- GET dataset-examples lists a curated, license-labelled registry, and
POST dataset/import-example materializes one into a dataset folder as
numbered images + .txt captions. Two loaders cover the shapes seen in the
wild: streaming rows from datasets.load_dataset (dog-example, Tuxemon) and
a snapshot + jsonl walk for imagefolder repos whose captions live in a
non-standard *.jsonl (the public-domain tarot set). Imports are idempotent
and cap the image count.
Filenames and dataset names are validated against path traversal and pinned
inside the datasets root.
* Test diffusion dataset labeling and example-import endpoints
Cover caption precedence, thumbnail generation and .thumbs exclusion,
caption write/clear, image delete cleanup, path-traversal rejection on
names and filenames, and example import with a mocked datasets.load_dataset
(files plus sidecars written, idempotent second call, cap respected, load
failure mapped to 502).
* Add flow-matching DiT LoRA trainers (FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image, Z-Image)
Extends diffusion LoRA training beyond SDXL to the three popular DiT families
via a single shared flow-matching loop parameterised by small per-family specs
(loading, prompt/latent encoding, transformer forward, save). Verified against
diffusers 0.38.0:
- FLUX.1-dev: 2x2 latent packing + image ids, guidance-embed forward, on-the-fly
nf4 QLoRA of the 12B transformer (the dev repo is gated, so training needs the
user's HF token).
- Qwen-Image: 5D VAE latents normalised by the per-channel latents_mean/std,
img_shapes forward, prequant nf4 base by default (on-the-fly nf4 for the bf16
base).
- Z-Image: list I/O with the reversed timestep convention and a negated
prediction, bf16 only.
The registry (get_trainer) and DiffusionFamily.trainable / train_base_repos now
route these families to the DiT trainer; the SDXL blocklist guard is replaced by
a positive family resolution that also rejects GGUF repos (inference-only) and
still-unsupported families. Per-family defaults + labels + VRAM notes are exposed
via family_train_infos for the Train UI.
Memory: caption embeddings are precomputed once and the text encoders freed
before the loop; gradient checkpointing (non-reentrant, required for bnb 4-bit)
and 8-bit AdamW are on by default.
* Speed up + shrink SDXL LoRA training (precompute text embeds, 8-bit AdamW)
SDXL re-encoded every caption with both CLIP text encoders on every step (pure
waste, since captions are constant) and kept the encoders resident. Precompute
each unique caption's embeddings once, then free the text encoders before the
loop: numerically identical (embeddings are deterministic and this consumes no
torch RNG, so the noise/timestep stream is unchanged) but faster and ~1.5 GB
lighter. Default the optimizer to 8-bit AdamW (bitsandbytes) with an fp32
fallback, halving optimizer state with no meaningful LoRA quality cost. Env
toggles (UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_NO_PRECOMPUTE / _FP32_OPTIM) let the accuracy guard
A/B the paths.
* Expose trainable families in /diffusion/info and preflight gated bases
The training info endpoint now returns the trainable model families (name,
label, default + allowed base repos, recommended defaults, and a VRAM/access
note) so the Train UI can offer a base picker with realistic guidance. The start
route preflights a gated base repo (HEAD model_index.json with the user's token)
BEFORE freeing resident GPU workloads, so a missing FLUX.1-dev license/token
fails fast with an actionable 400 instead of evicting the loaded model and then
hitting a confusing mid-load 401.
* Tests for DiT trainers, family resolution, info families, gated preflight
Cover the DiT spec table, the QLoRA prequant heuristic, the Z-Image bf16-only
guard, the gated-repo name check, family resolution now that FLUX/Qwen/Z-Image
are trainable (and GGUF repos are rejected as inference-only), the families list
in /diffusion/info, and the gated-base 400 preflight that leaves the GPU
untouched.
* Wrap the DiT training forward in bf16 autocast
The fp32 LoRA parameters and the bnb 4-bit base matmuls need a single
compute dtype during the forward, exactly like the diffusers dreambooth
scripts run under accelerator.autocast. Without it the 4-bit backward on
FLUX.1-dev fails with an illegal-address CUBLAS error partway into the
first step. Z-Image and Qwen-Image smokes are unaffected and the SDXL
path (its own trainer) is untouched.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Add Smithsonian Butterflies and Nouns example datasets
Two permissive ~100-image sets for the Train tab: huggan/smithsonian_butterflies_subset
(CC0, the classic diffusers-docs training set, imported as a subject set with a trigger
prompt since its metadata columns are species names not captions) and m1guelpf/nouns
(CC0, captioned pixel-art avatars via the text column). Both cap at 100 images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.

* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.

* Studio diffusion: ControlNet for the Images workflow (diffusers)
Add ControlNet conditioning, the #2 most-used diffusion workflow after
LoRA, on the diffusers backend for the families with ControlNet pipelines
(FLUX.1 and Qwen-Image), with Union models as the default picks.
Backend
- New core/inference/diffusion_controlnet.py: family-gated discovery
(curated Union models + local dirs + bare owner/name repos), resolution
to a loadable repo/dir, control-image preprocessing (passthrough +
a dependency-free canny edge map), and a supports_controlnet gate.
- diffusion.py: a ControlNet manager parallel to the LoRA one. Loads the
(small) ControlNet model once via from_pretrained (cached by id) and
builds the family's ControlNet pipeline via Pipeline.from_pipe(base,
controlnet=model), reusing the resident base modules at their loaded
dtype (no reload, no recast). Passes the control image + conditioning
scale + guidance start/end at generate time; cleared on unload.
- Families: FLUX.1 -> FluxControlNetPipeline/Model, Qwen-Image ->
QwenImageControlNetPipeline/Model. Others declare none (gated off).
- Gated off for the native engine, GGUF-via-diffusers, and torchao
fp8/int8 dense (same rule as LoRA). v1 conditions txt2img only.
- Request contract: optional controlnet on DiffusionGenerateRequest;
supports_controlnet in status; the choice persisted in gallery meta.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-controlnets for the picker.
Frontend
- A ControlNet control in the Images rail (model select + control-image
upload + control-type select + strength slider), gated by the loaded
model's supports_controlnet + family, shown for text-to-image.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_controlnet.py (10): discovery/resolve/preprocess/gate
helpers, request validation, family wiring, and the diffusers pipe
manager (loads once, caches, from_pipe with controlnet, rejects
unsupported families).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio ControlNet: show the picker on the Create tab (workflow id is 'create', not 'txt2img')
The ControlNet control gated on workflow === 'txt2img', but the Images workflow tab ids are create/transform/inpaint/extend/upscale/reference/edit -- there is no 'txt2img'. So the picker never rendered even with a ControlNet-capable model loaded. Gate on 'create' (the text-to-image tab) for both the picker and the request wiring. Found via a live Playwright capture of the running Studio.
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Add SDXL diffusion family (U-Net pipeline support)
SDXL is the first U-Net family in the diffusion backend: its denoiser is
pipe.unet (UNet2DConditionModel), not a DiT pipe.transformer, and a single-file
.safetensors is the whole pipeline rather than a transformer-only file. The
backend previously assumed a DiT transformer everywhere, so add the two hooks a
U-Net family needs and register SDXL.
DiffusionFamily gains denoiser_attr ("transformer" for DiT, "unet" for SDXL) and
single_file_is_pipeline (SDXL loads a single file via pipeline_class.from_single_file
with the base repo as config, instead of transformer_class.from_single_file plus a
companion assembly). _align_vae_dtype now reads the denoiser generically so img2img
and inpaint keep the VAE and U-Net dtypes aligned.
The non-GGUF trust gate is extended with a short, exact-match, safetensors-only
allowlist of official base repos (the SDXL base/refiner and sdxl-turbo), because
SDXL ships only as a full pipeline and has no unsloth-hosted GGUF. Local paths stay
trusted as before; a random repo, even one that detects as SDXL, is still rejected.
The image-conditioned and ControlNet workflows are the standard SDXL pipelines,
built around the resident modules via from_pipe like every other family, so SDXL
gets txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, upscale, LoRA and ControlNet. There is no
native sd.cpp mapping yet, so the no-GPU route falls back to diffusers.
Frontend catalog gains SDXL Base 1.0 and SDXL Turbo entries with SDXL step/guidance
defaults (Turbo: few steps, no CFG; base: ~30 steps, real CFG).
Tests: new test_diffusion_sdxl.py (family shape, detection, trust allowlist, model
kind, U-Net VAE-dtype alignment, LoRA gate) plus loader-branch tests in
test_diffusion_backend.py (pipeline-kind from_pretrained, single-file whole-pipeline
from_single_file, allowlist accept/reject). Verified live on GPU: sdxl-turbo loads
both as a pipeline and as a single file and generates coherent txt2img + img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: LoRA free-text Hugging Face entry + recipe round-trip
The backend has always accepted a bare Hugging Face repo id (owner/name, or
owner/name:weight-file.safetensors) as a LoRA, downloading and applying it. But the
picker only rendered when the curated catalog had entries, and the catalog is empty,
so there was no UI path to apply any LoRA. Show the LoRA section whenever the loaded
model supports LoRA, and replace the curated-only dropdown with a text input: type a
Hub repo id, or pick a discovered adapter from a datalist of suggestions when the
catalog is populated.
Also restore LoRAs when loading a recipe. restoreSettings now parses the recipe's
"id:weight" strings (splitting on the last colon, since the id itself may contain one
for a specific weight file) back into the selection, so replaying a saved image
reproduces its adapters. The generate payload trims hand-typed ids and drops empty /
zero-weight rows, and a model swap clears the selection (a LoRA is family-specific)
without discarding a free-text pick that is not in the curated list.
* Add diffusion LoRA training (SDXL text-to-image)
First diffusion training path in Studio: train a LoRA on the SDXL U-Net from an
image + caption dataset and export it as a diffusers .safetensors that the existing
diffusion LoRA loader (and any diffusers pipeline) can load.
core/training/diffusion_lora_trainer.py:
- DiffusionLoraConfig with validation/defaults (rank, alpha, targets, lr, steps, grad
accumulation, resolution, min-SNR gamma, gradient checkpointing, lr scheduler, seed,
mixed precision).
- discover_image_caption_pairs: captions from metadata.jsonl / captions.jsonl, per-image
.txt/.caption sidecars, or a dreambooth instance_prompt fallback (pure, unit-tested).
- run_diffusion_lora_training: the loop -- freeze base, PEFT-wrap the U-Net attention
projections, VAE-encode (fp32 VAE to avoid the SDXL fp16 overflow), sample noise +
timesteps, predict, MSE loss with optional min-SNR weighting (epsilon / v-prediction),
AdamW + get_scheduler + grad accumulation + grad clipping, then export via
save_lora_weights. Emits worker-protocol events (model_load_*, progress, complete) and
polls should_stop for a clean stop with a partial save.
- run_diffusion_training_process: mp.Queue subprocess adapter (event_queue / stop_queue),
so the training worker can spawn it; plus a CLI entry point.
Only SDXL (U-Net) is trained here; DiT families and the Studio UI form + route wiring are
follow-ups. The trainer is decoupled and worker-ready.
Tests: test_diffusion_lora_trainer.py covers caption discovery (metadata / sidecar /
instance prompt / skip-uncaptioned / errors), config normalisation + validation, the SDXL
add-time-ids, and the dict->config adapter. Verified live on GPU: a 60-step SDXL LoRA run
lowers the loss, exports a ~45 MB adapter, and loading it back shifts generation from
baseline (mean abs pixel diff ~55/255).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* diffusion trainer: emit learning_rate in progress events (Studio pump compatibility)
The Studio training pump reads 'learning_rate' from progress events; the diffusion
trainer emitted 'lr'. Rename the field (and the CLI reader) so the trainer's events are
directly consumable by the existing training status/SSE machinery when it is wired into
the worker, without a translation shim.
* Wire diffusion LoRA training into the Studio API
Make the SDXL LoRA trainer reachable from the app with a small, self-contained job
service and JSON routes, deliberately separate from the LLM TrainingBackend (whose
lifecycle -- LLM config build, per-run SQLite rows, matplotlib plots, transfer-to-chat-
inference -- is text-training specific and would mis-handle a diffusion run).
core/training/diffusion_training_service.py: DiffusionTrainingService runs one job at a
time -- validate the config cheaply (before any spawn), spawn the trainer subprocess
(spawn context, parent-lifetime bound), pump its events (model_load_* / progress /
complete / error) into an in-memory status snapshot, and support a clean stop. The
subprocess context and target are injectable so the full start -> pump -> status ->
complete path is unit-tested without real multiprocessing or torch.
routes/training.py: POST /api/train/diffusion/start (400 on a bad config, 409 when a job
is already running), POST /api/train/diffusion/stop, GET /api/train/diffusion/status
(JSON poll). models/training.py: DiffusionTrainingStartRequest + response schemas
mirroring DiffusionLoraConfig, so model_dump() passes straight through.
Tests: test_diffusion_training.py -- service happy path, bad-config-before-spawn,
concurrent-job rejection, clean stop, crash-without-terminal-event, event transitions;
plus route wiring via the FastAPI TestClient (start / 422 / 400 / 409 / status / stop)
with a mocked service. The diffusion trainer's progress events already use the field
names this path expects.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: add a Train LoRA (SDXL) dialog
Surface the diffusion training API in the Images page. A "Train LoRA" button in the top
bar opens a self-contained dialog to fine-tune an SDXL LoRA on a folder of images: pick
the base model, dataset folder, output folder, an optional instance prompt, and the core
hyperparameters (steps, rank, resolution, batch, learning rate), then Start. The dialog
polls the training status while open and shows a progress bar, step count, live loss, and
the saved adapter path, with a Stop button for a clean stop.
The dialog is independent of the loaded generation model (training runs in its own
subprocess), and prefills the base model with the loaded checkpoint when it is SDXL, else
the SDXL base. api.ts gains startDiffusionTraining / stopDiffusionTraining /
getDiffusionTrainingStatus plus their types, matching the /api/train/diffusion routes.
* Import diffusion training schemas from models.training directly
The import-hoist lint flags newly re-exported names in the models/__init__.py hub as
unused (it does not treat __all__ membership as a use). Import the three diffusion
training schemas straight from models.training in routes/training.py, where they are
used in the route annotations and calls, and drop the __init__ re-export.
* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* Pipeline prefetch: fetch only the default torch weights
A full-pipeline prefetch kept every repo file outside assets/, so an official
repo that ships multiple formats (SDXL Base: fp16 variants, ONNX, OpenVINO,
Flax, a top-level single-file twin) downloaded tens of GB from_pretrained never
loads. Skip non-torch exports and dtype-variant twins in
_pipeline_file_downloaded, and drop a component .bin when the same directory
carries a picked safetensors weight (diffusers' own preference).
* Diffusion LoRA training: fall back to fp16 when CUDA lacks bf16
The default mixed_precision=bf16 hard-fails on pre-Ampere GPUs (T4 / V100 /
RTX 20xx) which have no bf16 compute; check torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
and drop to fp16 there.
* Diffusion training service: join the old pump outside the lock
start() joined a finished job's pump thread while holding the service lock,
but the pump's final state writes need that same lock, so the join always
burned its full timeout and a stale pump could then overwrite the new job's
state. Join outside the lock (with a re-check after), and fence _apply_event
and the exit handler by process identity so a superseded pump can never touch
the current job's state. Adds regression tests for both.

* Diffusion LoRA training: harden config handling, cancellation, SDXL conditioning, and safety
Addresses review findings on the SDXL LoRA trainer:
- Gate the base model with the same trust check as inference (unsloth/*, allowlisted
official bases, or a local path) before from_pretrained, so an untrusted remote repo
is never fetched or deserialised.
- Check the stop signal before the (slow) model load, not only between steps, so a
cancel during download is honoured; a stop may carry save=False to cancel without
leaving a partial adapter.
- Per-sample SDXL add_time_ids from the actual crop (original size + crop offset, with
the offset mirrored on horizontal flip) instead of a fixed uncropped-square tensor.
- Apply EXIF orientation before resize/crop so rotated photos train upright.
- Skip gradient clipping when max_grad_norm <= 0 (the Studio 'disable' value) instead
of scaling every gradient to zero.
- Coerce Studio config strings/blanks: learning_rate string to float, blank hf_token to
anonymous, gradient_checkpointing 'none'/'true'/'unsloth' to bool; reject a zero/negative
lora_alpha or learning_rate.
- Alias the generic Studio training payload keys (model_name/max_steps/batch_size/lora_r/
lr_scheduler_type/random_seed) onto the diffusion field names.
- Mirror the trained adapter into loras/diffusion so the Images LoRA picker discovers it.
- Report worker exceptions in both message and error keys so the failure is not lost.
Adds regression tests for the config coercion/validation and aliasing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.

* Diffusion training API: LLM interlock, pre-spawn VRAM free, path containment, no dropped knobs
Four review findings on the diffusion training start path:
- It spawned the SDXL trainer without checking the LLM TrainingBackend, so a
start while an LLM run was active put two trainers on the same GPU. Add a
symmetric interlock: diffusion start returns 409 when LLM training is active,
and LLM start refuses while a diffusion job is active.
- It went straight to service.start() without freeing GPU residents. Add a
pre-spawn free of the export subprocess, the resident Images pipeline (with an
arbiter release), and chat models, mirroring the LLM start path.
- data_dir / output_dir were passed through unresolved, so Studio-relative names
failed and absolute paths bypassed containment. Resolve them with
resolve_dataset_path / resolve_output_dir before spawn (400 on an uncontained
path).
- The request model dropped max_grad_norm and lora_target_modules, so runs that
set them trained with defaults. Add both fields.
The gemini pump-join deadlock was already fixed earlier (join outside the lock +
proc-identity fence). Note: honoring a stop DURING model load is a trainer-loop
change owned by the diffusion training engine PR (should_stop polled before the
first optimizer step). Adds route + model regression tests.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* SDXL: reject GGUF up front, skip unused base weights, drop refiner, and harden helpers
Addresses review findings on the SDXL family:
- Reject a GGUF load for single_file_is_pipeline families (SDXL) in validate_load_request,
before the route evicts the current model; SDXL has no transformer-only GGUF variant.
- Skip base-repo weight files when a whole-pipeline single file is loaded: from_single_file
(config=base) needs only the base config/tokenizer/scheduler, so a local .safetensors no
longer triggers a multi-GB base download.
- Remove the SDXL refiner from the non-GGUF trust allowlist: it is an img2img-only pipeline
but this backend loads every sdxl repo as the base txt2img pipeline.
- Normalize a blank/whitespace hf_token to None once in load_pipeline so every load branch
degrades to anonymous instead of erroring on a malformed token.
- Read the denoiser dtype from a parameter (compile-wrapped modules may lack .dtype) and
access state.family.denoiser_attr directly.
Adds/updates regression tests for the trust allowlist, GGUF rejection, and base-config filter.
* Images: preserve restored LoRAs through model load and never send hidden LoRAs
- The LoRA effect cleared the selection on every load->capable transition, which
wiped adapters restored from a gallery recipe before the model finished loading.
Track the previously-loaded family in a ref and clear only on a real family swap;
keep the selection on the initial load and on unload.
- Gate the generate payload's loras on loraCapable so a restored selection that is
hidden (loaded model does not support LoRA) is never sent to the backend.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images Train LoRA dialog: token, validation, precision, base-repo prefill, gating, refresh
Nine review findings on the SDXL training dialog:
- Forward the saved Hub token so a gated/private SDXL base can be trained (the
image load flow already sends it).
- Re-seed the base-model field from the current default each time the dialog
opens; the keep-alive dialog otherwise kept its mount-time default after a
model loaded.
- Prefill from base_repo (the diffusers pipeline) rather than repo_id, which for
a GGUF/single-file SDXL load is the checkpoint path from_pretrained can't open.
- Add client-side validation of steps/rank/resolution/batch/learning-rate before
the request.
- Expose a precision selector (bf16/fp16/fp32) so non-bf16 GPUs can train from
the UI, not only the API.
- Gate the dialog on the active Images route (active && trainOpen) so switching
tabs closes it and stops its polling.
- Rescan the LoRA picker when a run completes, so a freshly-trained adapter
appears without a model reload.
- Cap the dialog height and scroll the body so the Start/Stop footer stays
reachable on short viewports.
- Correct the copy to not over-promise picker auto-discovery.
Freeing the resident Images pipeline before training is handled backend-side in
the diffusion training start route.
* Merge diffusion-sdxl into diffusion-lora-ux; keep options-only LoRA catch
The catalog-refresh .catch from the lower branch clears the selected adapters
too, which is right for its catalog-only picker but wrong here: this picker
holds free-text HF repo ids that are valid without being in the catalog, so a
transient refresh failure must not wipe them. Family swaps still clear the
selection and hidden LoRAs are never sent.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Train LoRA dialog: stop suggesting absolute paths the backend rejects
The dataset and output placeholders showed /path/to/... examples, but the
training routes resolve those fields inside the Studio home and reject
absolute paths outside the approved roots, so following the placeholder
produced a 400. Use folder-name placeholders and say in the labels and the
dialog description where each folder resolves.
* Align the VAE to the denoiser's first FLOATING dtype, not its first parameter
A GGUF-quantized transformer's leading parameters are packed uint8 storage,
so reading next(parameters()).dtype handed nn.Module.to() an integer dtype
and every image-conditioned generation on a GGUF model (Qwen-Image-Edit)
failed with a 500. Probe the parameters for the first floating dtype, treat
an all-integer module as a no-op, and also catch TypeError so an unexpected
dtype can never break generation. Regression test included.

* Count LR scheduler warmup/decay in optimizer steps, not micro-steps
lr_sched.step() runs once per outer optimizer step (after the gradient
accumulation inner loop), for train_steps total. The scheduler was
configured with num_warmup_steps and num_training_steps multiplied by
gradient_accumulation_steps, so with accumulation > 1 a warmup or
non-constant schedule stretched past the run and never reached the
intended decay. Count both in optimizer steps.
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Guard inference loads and worker lifetime against diffusion training
Teach the chat and image load guards about an active diffusion (SDXL) LoRA
job: a chat load is refused (its footprint cannot be fit-checked against the
trainer) and an image load is refused outright, mirroring the existing LLM
training guards, so a load can no longer allocate GPU memory alongside the
trainer and undo the pre-start cleanup.
Bind the diffusion trainer subprocess to the parent's lifetime and scrub the
native path lease secret from it by running the child through
run_without_native_path_secret, matching the inference/export/LLM workers, so
a Studio crash or kill no longer leaves the trainer holding the GPU.
Reset in_model_load on the complete and error terminal events: a stop or
failure during model loading otherwise leaves the status reporting a stale
loading indicator after the job has ended.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Refuse non-SDXL base models at diffusion training start
The trainer only supports the SDXL U-Net, but a FLUX / Qwen-Image / Z-Image
repo or a GGUF filename passed as base_model was accepted and then failed
minutes later inside StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained with an
unrelated-looking error. Add a name-based guard in normalized() so known
DiT-family names and .gguf checkpoints are rejected up front, which the API
start route surfaces as an immediate 400 with a message that says exactly
which bases are trainable. Unrecognisable names still pass through so custom
local SDXL checkpoints keep working.
* Add diffusion dataset upload and training info endpoints
Training an image LoRA required knowing the Studio home layout and copying
files onto the server by hand, which is the most confusing step of the whole
flow. Two small endpoints fix that:
- GET /api/train/diffusion/info reports the datasets and outputs roots plus
every dataset folder that contains images (with image/caption counts), so
the UI can offer a picker instead of a blind free-text path.
- POST /api/train/diffusion/dataset uploads images and optional caption
.txt / metadata.jsonl files into a named folder under the datasets root,
creating it on first use and accumulating on repeat uploads so large sets
can arrive in batches. Names are validated to a single path component and
files stream to disk under the same per-upload size cap as LLM dataset
uploads. The returned name is a valid data_dir for /diffusion/start.
* Rework the Train LoRA dialog into a guided SDXL flow
The dialog assumed users knew the Studio home layout and that only SDXL is
trainable, and hid both facts behind free-text fields. Restructure it around
the three real decisions:
- Base model is a dropdown of the trainable SDXL picks (Base 1.0, Turbo, the
loaded SDXL pipeline when there is one) with a custom repo/path escape
hatch, instead of a bare text field defaulting to a repo id.
- Training images come from an in-browser upload (new dataset endpoints) or
a picker over existing dataset folders with image/caption counts. No shell
access or knowledge of the datasets root is needed any more, and the
captioning rules are explained inline.
- The output field is now Adapter name and the instance prompt is labelled
as the trigger prompt, with a no-captions warning wired to the selected
dataset's actual caption count.
Hyperparameters collapse behind a training settings toggle since the
defaults suit a first run. A completed run says where the adapter went and
offers Done / Train another, and the top-bar button gets an icon and a
plainer description. The dialog title states the SDXL-only scope and that
other families load LoRAs but cannot train them yet.

* Validate diffusion training config before freeing the GPU
The start route freed resident GPU workloads (export, Images pipeline, chat)
before the service validated the config, so a start that was then refused,
now including a non-SDXL base model, tore down the user's loaded model for
nothing. Run the same cheap normalise pass first; the LLM path already
follows this rule via its before_spawn hook.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Refactor diffusion LoRA training into a family-aware platform
Split the SDXL trainer into a shared, architecture-agnostic layer so more model
families can be trained without duplicating the plumbing:
- New core/training/diffusion_train_common.py holds the config + validation, dataset
discovery, event emission, stop protocol, adapter publishing, and a lazy trainer
registry (get_trainer). diffusion_lora_trainer.py keeps the SDXL-specific loop and
re-exports the moved names so existing imports are unchanged.
- The SDXL-only base-model blocklist becomes a positive check: the family is resolved
from the base model (or an explicit model_family) via the diffusion family registry,
and a known-but-not-yet-trainable family is refused with a clear message. Unknown
custom names still default to the SDXL trainer.
- DiffusionFamily gains a trainable flag and train_base_repos; SDXL is marked trainable.
DiT families flip on when their trainers land.
- Trained adapters now write a <name>.json metadata sidecar (family, base model, rank,
trigger prompt, ...) that the LoRA scanner reads to family-gate the adapter in the
picker instead of showing it as unknown for every model.
- The training base-model trust allowlist adds the official FLUX.1-dev, Z-Image-Turbo,
and Qwen-Image repos (safetensors-only, no remote code).
* Retain diffusion training loss history and expose it in status
The training service kept only the latest loss, so a live loss chart could show a
single point. Fold each progress event into bounded (step, loss, lr) history arrays
(capped at 4000 points, decimated when full) plus the latest throughput and peak VRAM,
and record the family / base model / catalog path on completion. The status endpoint
returns these as a nested metric_history object the UI can chart directly, and the
start request accepts an optional model_family override.
* Tests for the diffusion training platform
Cover the trainer registry (get_trainer resolves SDXL, unknown family raises),
family resolution (explicit model_family validation, resolved_family on the config),
the metadata sidecar write + scan read with family gating, and the service loss-history
folding (append, bad-point skipping, decimation at cap, family/perf fields) plus the
status route nesting metric_history.
* Add flow-matching DiT LoRA trainers (FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image, Z-Image)
Extends diffusion LoRA training beyond SDXL to the three popular DiT families
via a single shared flow-matching loop parameterised by small per-family specs
(loading, prompt/latent encoding, transformer forward, save). Verified against
diffusers 0.38.0:
- FLUX.1-dev: 2x2 latent packing + image ids, guidance-embed forward, on-the-fly
nf4 QLoRA of the 12B transformer (the dev repo is gated, so training needs the
user's HF token).
- Qwen-Image: 5D VAE latents normalised by the per-channel latents_mean/std,
img_shapes forward, prequant nf4 base by default (on-the-fly nf4 for the bf16
base).
- Z-Image: list I/O with the reversed timestep convention and a negated
prediction, bf16 only.
The registry (get_trainer) and DiffusionFamily.trainable / train_base_repos now
route these families to the DiT trainer; the SDXL blocklist guard is replaced by
a positive family resolution that also rejects GGUF repos (inference-only) and
still-unsupported families. Per-family defaults + labels + VRAM notes are exposed
via family_train_infos for the Train UI.
Memory: caption embeddings are precomputed once and the text encoders freed
before the loop; gradient checkpointing (non-reentrant, required for bnb 4-bit)
and 8-bit AdamW are on by default.
* Speed up + shrink SDXL LoRA training (precompute text embeds, 8-bit AdamW)
SDXL re-encoded every caption with both CLIP text encoders on every step (pure
waste, since captions are constant) and kept the encoders resident. Precompute
each unique caption's embeddings once, then free the text encoders before the
loop: numerically identical (embeddings are deterministic and this consumes no
torch RNG, so the noise/timestep stream is unchanged) but faster and ~1.5 GB
lighter. Default the optimizer to 8-bit AdamW (bitsandbytes) with an fp32
fallback, halving optimizer state with no meaningful LoRA quality cost. Env
toggles (UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_NO_PRECOMPUTE / _FP32_OPTIM) let the accuracy guard
A/B the paths.
* Expose trainable families in /diffusion/info and preflight gated bases
The training info endpoint now returns the trainable model families (name,
label, default + allowed base repos, recommended defaults, and a VRAM/access
note) so the Train UI can offer a base picker with realistic guidance. The start
route preflights a gated base repo (HEAD model_index.json with the user's token)
BEFORE freeing resident GPU workloads, so a missing FLUX.1-dev license/token
fails fast with an actionable 400 instead of evicting the loaded model and then
hitting a confusing mid-load 401.
* Tests for DiT trainers, family resolution, info families, gated preflight
Cover the DiT spec table, the QLoRA prequant heuristic, the Z-Image bf16-only
guard, the gated-repo name check, family resolution now that FLUX/Qwen/Z-Image
are trainable (and GGUF repos are rejected as inference-only), the families list
in /diffusion/info, and the gated-base 400 preflight that leaves the GPU
untouched.
* Wrap the DiT training forward in bf16 autocast
The fp32 LoRA parameters and the bnb 4-bit base matmuls need a single
compute dtype during the forward, exactly like the diffusers dreambooth
scripts run under accelerator.autocast. Without it the 4-bit backward on
FLUX.1-dev fails with an illegal-address CUBLAS error partway into the
first step. Z-Image and Qwen-Image smokes are unaffected and the SDXL
path (its own trainer) is untouched.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.

* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.

* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.

* Studio diffusion: ControlNet for the Images workflow (diffusers)
Add ControlNet conditioning, the #2 most-used diffusion workflow after
LoRA, on the diffusers backend for the families with ControlNet pipelines
(FLUX.1 and Qwen-Image), with Union models as the default picks.
Backend
- New core/inference/diffusion_controlnet.py: family-gated discovery
(curated Union models + local dirs + bare owner/name repos), resolution
to a loadable repo/dir, control-image preprocessing (passthrough +
a dependency-free canny edge map), and a supports_controlnet gate.
- diffusion.py: a ControlNet manager parallel to the LoRA one. Loads the
(small) ControlNet model once via from_pretrained (cached by id) and
builds the family's ControlNet pipeline via Pipeline.from_pipe(base,
controlnet=model), reusing the resident base modules at their loaded
dtype (no reload, no recast). Passes the control image + conditioning
scale + guidance start/end at generate time; cleared on unload.
- Families: FLUX.1 -> FluxControlNetPipeline/Model, Qwen-Image ->
QwenImageControlNetPipeline/Model. Others declare none (gated off).
- Gated off for the native engine, GGUF-via-diffusers, and torchao
fp8/int8 dense (same rule as LoRA). v1 conditions txt2img only.
- Request contract: optional controlnet on DiffusionGenerateRequest;
supports_controlnet in status; the choice persisted in gallery meta.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-controlnets for the picker.
Frontend
- A ControlNet control in the Images rail (model select + control-image
upload + control-type select + strength slider), gated by the loaded
model's supports_controlnet + family, shown for text-to-image.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_controlnet.py (10): discovery/resolve/preprocess/gate
helpers, request validation, family wiring, and the diffusers pipe
manager (loads once, caches, from_pipe with controlnet, rejects
unsupported families).

* Studio ControlNet: show the picker on the Create tab (workflow id is 'create', not 'txt2img')
The ControlNet control gated on workflow === 'txt2img', but the Images workflow tab ids are create/transform/inpaint/extend/upscale/reference/edit -- there is no 'txt2img'. So the picker never rendered even with a ControlNet-capable model loaded. Gate on 'create' (the text-to-image tab) for both the picker and the request wiring. Found via a live Playwright capture of the running Studio.
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.

* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Add SDXL diffusion family (U-Net pipeline support)
SDXL is the first U-Net family in the diffusion backend: its denoiser is
pipe.unet (UNet2DConditionModel), not a DiT pipe.transformer, and a single-file
.safetensors is the whole pipeline rather than a transformer-only file. The
backend previously assumed a DiT transformer everywhere, so add the two hooks a
U-Net family needs and register SDXL.
DiffusionFamily gains denoiser_attr ("transformer" for DiT, "unet" for SDXL) and
single_file_is_pipeline (SDXL loads a single file via pipeline_class.from_single_file
with the base repo as config, instead of transformer_class.from_single_file plus a
companion assembly). _align_vae_dtype now reads the denoiser generically so img2img
and inpaint keep the VAE and U-Net dtypes aligned.
The non-GGUF trust gate is extended with a short, exact-match, safetensors-only
allowlist of official base repos (the SDXL base/refiner and sdxl-turbo), because
SDXL ships only as a full pipeline and has no unsloth-hosted GGUF. Local paths stay
trusted as before; a random repo, even one that detects as SDXL, is still rejected.
The image-conditioned and ControlNet workflows are the standard SDXL pipelines,
built around the resident modules via from_pipe like every other family, so SDXL
gets txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, upscale, LoRA and ControlNet. There is no
native sd.cpp mapping yet, so the no-GPU route falls back to diffusers.
Frontend catalog gains SDXL Base 1.0 and SDXL Turbo entries with SDXL step/guidance
defaults (Turbo: few steps, no CFG; base: ~30 steps, real CFG).
Tests: new test_diffusion_sdxl.py (family shape, detection, trust allowlist, model
kind, U-Net VAE-dtype alignment, LoRA gate) plus loader-branch tests in
test_diffusion_backend.py (pipeline-kind from_pretrained, single-file whole-pipeline
from_single_file, allowlist accept/reject). Verified live on GPU: sdxl-turbo loads
both as a pipeline and as a single file and generates coherent txt2img + img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: LoRA free-text Hugging Face entry + recipe round-trip
The backend has always accepted a bare Hugging Face repo id (owner/name, or
owner/name:weight-file.safetensors) as a LoRA, downloading and applying it. But the
picker only rendered when the curated catalog had entries, and the catalog is empty,
so there was no UI path to apply any LoRA. Show the LoRA section whenever the loaded
model supports LoRA, and replace the curated-only dropdown with a text input: type a
Hub repo id, or pick a discovered adapter from a datalist of suggestions when the
catalog is populated.
Also restore LoRAs when loading a recipe. restoreSettings now parses the recipe's
"id:weight" strings (splitting on the last colon, since the id itself may contain one
for a specific weight file) back into the selection, so replaying a saved image
reproduces its adapters. The generate payload trims hand-typed ids and drops empty /
zero-weight rows, and a model swap clears the selection (a LoRA is family-specific)
without discarding a free-text pick that is not in the curated list.
* Add diffusion LoRA training (SDXL text-to-image)
First diffusion training path in Studio: train a LoRA on the SDXL U-Net from an
image + caption dataset and export it as a diffusers .safetensors that the existing
diffusion LoRA loader (and any diffusers pipeline) can load.
core/training/diffusion_lora_trainer.py:
- DiffusionLoraConfig with validation/defaults (rank, alpha, targets, lr, steps, grad
accumulation, resolution, min-SNR gamma, gradient checkpointing, lr scheduler, seed,
mixed precision).
- discover_image_caption_pairs: captions from metadata.jsonl / captions.jsonl, per-image
.txt/.caption sidecars, or a dreambooth instance_prompt fallback (pure, unit-tested).
- run_diffusion_lora_training: the loop -- freeze base, PEFT-wrap the U-Net attention
projections, VAE-encode (fp32 VAE to avoid the SDXL fp16 overflow), sample noise +
timesteps, predict, MSE loss with optional min-SNR weighting (epsilon / v-prediction),
AdamW + get_scheduler + grad accumulation + grad clipping, then export via
save_lora_weights. Emits worker-protocol events (model_load_*, progress, complete) and
polls should_stop for a clean stop with a partial save.
- run_diffusion_training_process: mp.Queue subprocess adapter (event_queue / stop_queue),
so the training worker can spawn it; plus a CLI entry point.
Only SDXL (U-Net) is trained here; DiT families and the Studio UI form + route wiring are
follow-ups. The trainer is decoupled and worker-ready.
Tests: test_diffusion_lora_trainer.py covers caption discovery (metadata / sidecar /
instance prompt / skip-uncaptioned / errors), config normalisation + validation, the SDXL
add-time-ids, and the dict->config adapter. Verified live on GPU: a 60-step SDXL LoRA run
lowers the loss, exports a ~45 MB adapter, and loading it back shifts generation from
baseline (mean abs pixel diff ~55/255).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* diffusion trainer: emit learning_rate in progress events (Studio pump compatibility)
The Studio training pump reads 'learning_rate' from progress events; the diffusion
trainer emitted 'lr'. Rename the field (and the CLI reader) so the trainer's events are
directly consumable by the existing training status/SSE machinery when it is wired into
the worker, without a translation shim.
* Wire diffusion LoRA training into the Studio API
Make the SDXL LoRA trainer reachable from the app with a small, self-contained job
service and JSON routes, deliberately separate from the LLM TrainingBackend (whose
lifecycle -- LLM config build, per-run SQLite rows, matplotlib plots, transfer-to-chat-
inference -- is text-training specific and would mis-handle a diffusion run).
core/training/diffusion_training_service.py: DiffusionTrainingService runs one job at a
time -- validate the config cheaply (before any spawn), spawn the trainer subprocess
(spawn context, parent-lifetime bound), pump its events (model_load_* / progress /
complete / error) into an in-memory status snapshot, and support a clean stop. The
subprocess context and target are injectable so the full start -> pump -> status ->
complete path is unit-tested without real multiprocessing or torch.
routes/training.py: POST /api/train/diffusion/start (400 on a bad config, 409 when a job
is already running), POST /api/train/diffusion/stop, GET /api/train/diffusion/status
(JSON poll). models/training.py: DiffusionTrainingStartRequest + response schemas
mirroring DiffusionLoraConfig, so model_dump() passes straight through.
Tests: test_diffusion_training.py -- service happy path, bad-config-before-spawn,
concurrent-job rejection, clean stop, crash-without-terminal-event, event transitions;
plus route wiring via the FastAPI TestClient (start / 422 / 400 / 409 / status / stop)
with a mocked service. The diffusion trainer's progress events already use the field
names this path expects.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: add a Train LoRA (SDXL) dialog
Surface the diffusion training API in the Images page. A "Train LoRA" button in the top
bar opens a self-contained dialog to fine-tune an SDXL LoRA on a folder of images: pick
the base model, dataset folder, output folder, an optional instance prompt, and the core
hyperparameters (steps, rank, resolution, batch, learning rate), then Start. The dialog
polls the training status while open and shows a progress bar, step count, live loss, and
the saved adapter path, with a Stop button for a clean stop.
The dialog is independent of the loaded generation model (training runs in its own
subprocess), and prefills the base model with the loaded checkpoint when it is SDXL, else
the SDXL base. api.ts gains startDiffusionTraining / stopDiffusionTraining /
getDiffusionTrainingStatus plus their types, matching the /api/train/diffusion routes.
* Import diffusion training schemas from models.training directly
The import-hoist lint flags newly re-exported names in the models/__init__.py hub as
unused (it does not treat __all__ membership as a use). Import the three diffusion
training schemas straight from models.training in routes/training.py, where they are
used in the route annotations and calls, and drop the __init__ re-export.
* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* Pipeline prefetch: fetch only the default torch weights
A full-pipeline prefetch kept every repo file outside assets/, so an official
repo that ships multiple formats (SDXL Base: fp16 variants, ONNX, OpenVINO,
Flax, a top-level single-file twin) downloaded tens of GB from_pretrained never
loads. Skip non-torch exports and dtype-variant twins in
_pipeline_file_downloaded, and drop a component .bin when the same directory
carries a picked safetensors weight (diffusers' own preference).
* Diffusion LoRA training: fall back to fp16 when CUDA lacks bf16
The default mixed_precision=bf16 hard-fails on pre-Ampere GPUs (T4 / V100 /
RTX 20xx) which have no bf16 compute; check torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
and drop to fp16 there.
* Diffusion training service: join the old pump outside the lock
start() joined a finished job's pump thread while holding the service lock,
but the pump's final state writes need that same lock, so the join always
burned its full timeout and a stale pump could then overwrite the new job's
state. Join outside the lock (with a re-check after), and fence _apply_event
and the exit handler by process identity so a superseded pump can never touch
the current job's state. Adds regression tests for both.

* Diffusion LoRA training: harden config handling, cancellation, SDXL conditioning, and safety
Addresses review findings on the SDXL LoRA trainer:
- Gate the base model with the same trust check as inference (unsloth/*, allowlisted
official bases, or a local path) before from_pretrained, so an untrusted remote repo
is never fetched or deserialised.
- Check the stop signal before the (slow) model load, not only between steps, so a
cancel during download is honoured; a stop may carry save=False to cancel without
leaving a partial adapter.
- Per-sample SDXL add_time_ids from the actual crop (original size + crop offset, with
the offset mirrored on horizontal flip) instead of a fixed uncropped-square tensor.
- Apply EXIF orientation before resize/crop so rotated photos train upright.
- Skip gradient clipping when max_grad_norm <= 0 (the Studio 'disable' value) instead
of scaling every gradient to zero.
- Coerce Studio config strings/blanks: learning_rate string to float, blank hf_token to
anonymous, gradient_checkpointing 'none'/'true'/'unsloth' to bool; reject a zero/negative
lora_alpha or learning_rate.
- Alias the generic Studio training payload keys (model_name/max_steps/batch_size/lora_r/
lr_scheduler_type/random_seed) onto the diffusion field names.
- Mirror the trained adapter into loras/diffusion so the Images LoRA picker discovers it.
- Report worker exceptions in both message and error keys so the failure is not lost.
Adds regression tests for the config coercion/validation and aliasing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Diffusion training API: LLM interlock, pre-spawn VRAM free, path containment, no dropped knobs
Four review findings on the diffusion training start path:
- It spawned the SDXL trainer without checking the LLM TrainingBackend, so a
start while an LLM run was active put two trainers on the same GPU. Add a
symmetric interlock: diffusion start returns 409 when LLM training is active,
and LLM start refuses while a diffusion job is active.
- It went straight to service.start() without freeing GPU residents. Add a
pre-spawn free of the export subprocess, the resident Images pipeline (with an
arbiter release), and chat models, mirroring the LLM start path.
- data_dir / output_dir were passed through unresolved, so Studio-relative names
failed and absolute paths bypassed containment. Resolve them with
resolve_dataset_path / resolve_output_dir before spawn (400 on an uncontained
path).
- The request model dropped max_grad_norm and lora_target_modules, so runs that
set them trained with defaults. Add both fields.
The gemini pump-join deadlock was already fixed earlier (join outside the lock +
proc-identity fence). Note: honoring a stop DURING model load is a trainer-loop
change owned by the diffusion training engine PR (should_stop polled before the
first optimizer step). Adds route + model regression tests.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* SDXL: reject GGUF up front, skip unused base weights, drop refiner, and harden helpers
Addresses review findings on the SDXL family:
- Reject a GGUF load for single_file_is_pipeline families (SDXL) in validate_load_request,
before the route evicts the current model; SDXL has no transformer-only GGUF variant.
- Skip base-repo weight files when a whole-pipeline single file is loaded: from_single_file
(config=base) needs only the base config/tokenizer/scheduler, so a local .safetensors no
longer triggers a multi-GB base download.
- Remove the SDXL refiner from the non-GGUF trust allowlist: it is an img2img-only pipeline
but this backend loads every sdxl repo as the base txt2img pipeline.
- Normalize a blank/whitespace hf_token to None once in load_pipeline so every load branch
degrades to anonymous instead of erroring on a malformed token.
- Read the denoiser dtype from a parameter (compile-wrapped modules may lack .dtype) and
access state.family.denoiser_attr directly.
Adds/updates regression tests for the trust allowlist, GGUF rejection, and base-config filter.
* Images: preserve restored LoRAs through model load and never send hidden LoRAs
- The LoRA effect cleared the selection on every load->capable transition, which
wiped adapters restored from a gallery recipe before the model finished loading.
Track the previously-loaded family in a ref and clear only on a real family swap;
keep the selection on the initial load and on unload.
- Gate the generate payload's loras on loraCapable so a restored selection that is
hidden (loaded model does not support LoRA) is never sent to the backend.

* Images Train LoRA dialog: token, validation, precision, base-repo prefill, gating, refresh
Nine review findings on the SDXL training dialog:
- Forward the saved Hub token so a gated/private SDXL base can be trained (the
image load flow already sends it).
- Re-seed the base-model field from the current default each time the dialog
opens; the keep-alive dialog otherwise kept its mount-time default after a
model loaded.
- Prefill from base_repo (the diffusers pipeline) rather than repo_id, which for
a GGUF/single-file SDXL load is the checkpoint path from_pretrained can't open.
- Add client-side validation of steps/rank/resolution/batch/learning-rate before
the request.
- Expose a precision selector (bf16/fp16/fp32) so non-bf16 GPUs can train from
the UI, not only the API.
- Gate the dialog on the active Images route (active && trainOpen) so switching
tabs closes it and stops its polling.
- Rescan the LoRA picker when a run completes, so a freshly-trained adapter
appears without a model reload.
- Cap the dialog height and scroll the body so the Start/Stop footer stays
reachable on short viewports.
- Correct the copy to not over-promise picker auto-discovery.
Freeing the resident Images pipeline before training is handled backend-side in
the diffusion training start route.
* Merge diffusion-sdxl into diffusion-lora-ux; keep options-only LoRA catch
The catalog-refresh .catch from the lower branch clears the selected adapters
too, which is right for its catalog-only picker but wrong here: this picker
holds free-text HF repo ids that are valid without being in the catalog, so a
transient refresh failure must not wipe them. Family swaps still clear the
selection and hidden LoRAs are never sent.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Train LoRA dialog: stop suggesting absolute paths the backend rejects
The dataset and output placeholders showed /path/to/... examples, but the
training routes resolve those fields inside the Studio home and reject
absolute paths outside the approved roots, so following the placeholder
produced a 400. Use folder-name placeholders and say in the labels and the
dialog description where each folder resolves.
* Align the VAE to the denoiser's first FLOATING dtype, not its first parameter
A GGUF-quantized transformer's leading parameters are packed uint8 storage,
so reading next(parameters()).dtype handed nn.Module.to() an integer dtype
and every image-conditioned generation on a GGUF model (Qwen-Image-Edit)
failed with a 500. Probe the parameters for the first floating dtype, treat
an all-integer module as a no-op, and also catch TypeError so an unexpected
dtype can never break generation. Regression test included.

* Count LR scheduler warmup/decay in optimizer steps, not micro-steps
lr_sched.step() runs once per outer optimizer step (after the gradient
accumulation inner loop), for train_steps total. The scheduler was
configured with num_warmup_steps and num_training_steps multiplied by
gradient_accumulation_steps, so with accumulation > 1 a warmup or
non-constant schedule stretched past the run and never reached the
intended decay. Count both in optimizer steps.
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Guard inference loads and worker lifetime against diffusion training
Teach the chat and image load guards about an active diffusion (SDXL) LoRA
job: a chat load is refused (its footprint cannot be fit-checked against the
trainer) and an image load is refused outright, mirroring the existing LLM
training guards, so a load can no longer allocate GPU memory alongside the
trainer and undo the pre-start cleanup.
Bind the diffusion trainer subprocess to the parent's lifetime and scrub the
native path lease secret from it by running the child through
run_without_native_path_secret, matching the inference/export/LLM workers, so
a Studio crash or kill no longer leaves the trainer holding the GPU.
Reset in_model_load on the complete and error terminal events: a stop or
failure during model loading otherwise leaves the status reporting a stale
loading indicator after the job has ended.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Refuse non-SDXL base models at diffusion training start
The trainer only supports the SDXL U-Net, but a FLUX / Qwen-Image / Z-Image
repo or a GGUF filename passed as base_model was accepted and then failed
minutes later inside StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained with an
unrelated-looking error. Add a name-based guard in normalized() so known
DiT-family names and .gguf checkpoints are rejected up front, which the API
start route surfaces as an immediate 400 with a message that says exactly
which bases are trainable. Unrecognisable names still pass through so custom
local SDXL checkpoints keep working.
* Add diffusion dataset upload and training info endpoints
Training an image LoRA required knowing the Studio home layout and copying
files onto the server by hand, which is the most confusing step of the whole
flow. Two small endpoints fix that:
- GET /api/train/diffusion/info reports the datasets and outputs roots plus
every dataset folder that contains images (with image/caption counts), so
the UI can offer a picker instead of a blind free-text path.
- POST /api/train/diffusion/dataset uploads images and optional caption
.txt / metadata.jsonl files into a named folder under the datasets root,
creating it on first use and accumulating on repeat uploads so large sets
can arrive in batches. Names are validated to a single path component and
files stream to disk under the same per-upload size cap as LLM dataset
uploads. The returned name is a valid data_dir for /diffusion/start.
* Rework the Train LoRA dialog into a guided SDXL flow
The dialog assumed users knew the Studio home layout and that only SDXL is
trainable, and hid both facts behind free-text fields. Restructure it around
the three real decisions:
- Base model is a dropdown of the trainable SDXL picks (Base 1.0, Turbo, the
loaded SDXL pipeline when there is one) with a custom repo/path escape
hatch, instead of a bare text field defaulting to a repo id.
- Training images come from an in-browser upload (new dataset endpoints) or
a picker over existing dataset folders with image/caption counts. No shell
access or knowledge of the datasets root is needed any more, and the
captioning rules are explained inline.
- The output field is now Adapter name and the instance prompt is labelled
as the trigger prompt, with a no-captions warning wired to the selected
dataset's actual caption count.
Hyperparameters collapse behind a training settings toggle since the
defaults suit a first run. A completed run says where the adapter went and
offers Done / Train another, and the top-bar button gets an icon and a
plainer description. The dialog title states the SDXL-only scope and that
other families load LoRAs but cannot train them yet.

* Validate diffusion training config before freeing the GPU
The start route freed resident GPU workloads (export, Images pipeline, chat)
before the service validated the config, so a start that was then refused,
now including a non-SDXL base model, tore down the user's loaded model for
nothing. Run the same cheap normalise pass first; the LLM path already
follows this rule via its before_spawn hook.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Refactor diffusion LoRA training into a family-aware platform
Split the SDXL trainer into a shared, architecture-agnostic layer so more model
families can be trained without duplicating the plumbing:
- New core/training/diffusion_train_common.py holds the config + validation, dataset
discovery, event emission, stop protocol, adapter publishing, and a lazy trainer
registry (get_trainer). diffusion_lora_trainer.py keeps the SDXL-specific loop and
re-exports the moved names so existing imports are unchanged.
- The SDXL-only base-model blocklist becomes a positive check: the family is resolved
from the base model (or an explicit model_family) via the diffusion family registry,
and a known-but-not-yet-trainable family is refused with a clear message. Unknown
custom names still default to the SDXL trainer.
- DiffusionFamily gains a trainable flag and train_base_repos; SDXL is marked trainable.
DiT families flip on when their trainers land.
- Trained adapters now write a <name>.json metadata sidecar (family, base model, rank,
trigger prompt, ...) that the LoRA scanner reads to family-gate the adapter in the
picker instead of showing it as unknown for every model.
- The training base-model trust allowlist adds the official FLUX.1-dev, Z-Image-Turbo,
and Qwen-Image repos (safetensors-only, no remote code).
* Retain diffusion training loss history and expose it in status
The training service kept only the latest loss, so a live loss chart could show a
single point. Fold each progress event into bounded (step, loss, lr) history arrays
(capped at 4000 points, decimated when full) plus the latest throughput and peak VRAM,
and record the family / base model / catalog path on completion. The status endpoint
returns these as a nested metric_history object the UI can chart directly, and the
start request accepts an optional model_family override.
* Tests for the diffusion training platform
Cover the trainer registry (get_trainer resolves SDXL, unknown family raises),
family resolution (explicit model_family validation, resolved_family on the config),
the metadata sidecar write + scan read with family gating, and the service loss-history
folding (append, bad-point skipping, decimation at cap, family/perf fields) plus the
status route nesting metric_history.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.

* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion: ControlNet for the Images workflow (diffusers)
Add ControlNet conditioning, the #2 most-used diffusion workflow after
LoRA, on the diffusers backend for the families with ControlNet pipelines
(FLUX.1 and Qwen-Image), with Union models as the default picks.
Backend
- New core/inference/diffusion_controlnet.py: family-gated discovery
(curated Union models + local dirs + bare owner/name repos), resolution
to a loadable repo/dir, control-image preprocessing (passthrough +
a dependency-free canny edge map), and a supports_controlnet gate.
- diffusion.py: a ControlNet manager parallel to the LoRA one. Loads the
(small) ControlNet model once via from_pretrained (cached by id) and
builds the family's ControlNet pipeline via Pipeline.from_pipe(base,
controlnet=model), reusing the resident base modules at their loaded
dtype (no reload, no recast). Passes the control image + conditioning
scale + guidance start/end at generate time; cleared on unload.
- Families: FLUX.1 -> FluxControlNetPipeline/Model, Qwen-Image ->
QwenImageControlNetPipeline/Model. Others declare none (gated off).
- Gated off for the native engine, GGUF-via-diffusers, and torchao
fp8/int8 dense (same rule as LoRA). v1 conditions txt2img only.
- Request contract: optional controlnet on DiffusionGenerateRequest;
supports_controlnet in status; the choice persisted in gallery meta.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-controlnets for the picker.
Frontend
- A ControlNet control in the Images rail (model select + control-image
upload + control-type select + strength slider), gated by the loaded
model's supports_controlnet + family, shown for text-to-image.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_controlnet.py (10): discovery/resolve/preprocess/gate
helpers, request validation, family wiring, and the diffusers pipe
manager (loads once, caches, from_pipe with controlnet, rejects
unsupported families).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio ControlNet: show the picker on the Create tab (workflow id is 'create', not 'txt2img')
The ControlNet control gated on workflow === 'txt2img', but the Images workflow tab ids are create/transform/inpaint/extend/upscale/reference/edit -- there is no 'txt2img'. So the picker never rendered even with a ControlNet-capable model loaded. Gate on 'create' (the text-to-image tab) for both the picker and the request wiring. Found via a live Playwright capture of the running Studio.
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Add SDXL diffusion family (U-Net pipeline support)
SDXL is the first U-Net family in the diffusion backend: its denoiser is
pipe.unet (UNet2DConditionModel), not a DiT pipe.transformer, and a single-file
.safetensors is the whole pipeline rather than a transformer-only file. The
backend previously assumed a DiT transformer everywhere, so add the two hooks a
U-Net family needs and register SDXL.
DiffusionFamily gains denoiser_attr ("transformer" for DiT, "unet" for SDXL) and
single_file_is_pipeline (SDXL loads a single file via pipeline_class.from_single_file
with the base repo as config, instead of transformer_class.from_single_file plus a
companion assembly). _align_vae_dtype now reads the denoiser generically so img2img
and inpaint keep the VAE and U-Net dtypes aligned.
The non-GGUF trust gate is extended with a short, exact-match, safetensors-only
allowlist of official base repos (the SDXL base/refiner and sdxl-turbo), because
SDXL ships only as a full pipeline and has no unsloth-hosted GGUF. Local paths stay
trusted as before; a random repo, even one that detects as SDXL, is still rejected.
The image-conditioned and ControlNet workflows are the standard SDXL pipelines,
built around the resident modules via from_pipe like every other family, so SDXL
gets txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, upscale, LoRA and ControlNet. There is no
native sd.cpp mapping yet, so the no-GPU route falls back to diffusers.
Frontend catalog gains SDXL Base 1.0 and SDXL Turbo entries with SDXL step/guidance
defaults (Turbo: few steps, no CFG; base: ~30 steps, real CFG).
Tests: new test_diffusion_sdxl.py (family shape, detection, trust allowlist, model
kind, U-Net VAE-dtype alignment, LoRA gate) plus loader-branch tests in
test_diffusion_backend.py (pipeline-kind from_pretrained, single-file whole-pipeline
from_single_file, allowlist accept/reject). Verified live on GPU: sdxl-turbo loads
both as a pipeline and as a single file and generates coherent txt2img + img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Images: LoRA free-text Hugging Face entry + recipe round-trip
The backend has always accepted a bare Hugging Face repo id (owner/name, or
owner/name:weight-file.safetensors) as a LoRA, downloading and applying it. But the
picker only rendered when the curated catalog had entries, and the catalog is empty,
so there was no UI path to apply any LoRA. Show the LoRA section whenever the loaded
model supports LoRA, and replace the curated-only dropdown with a text input: type a
Hub repo id, or pick a discovered adapter from a datalist of suggestions when the
catalog is populated.
Also restore LoRAs when loading a recipe. restoreSettings now parses the recipe's
"id:weight" strings (splitting on the last colon, since the id itself may contain one
for a specific weight file) back into the selection, so replaying a saved image
reproduces its adapters. The generate payload trims hand-typed ids and drops empty /
zero-weight rows, and a model swap clears the selection (a LoRA is family-specific)
without discarding a free-text pick that is not in the curated list.
* Add diffusion LoRA training (SDXL text-to-image)
First diffusion training path in Studio: train a LoRA on the SDXL U-Net from an
image + caption dataset and export it as a diffusers .safetensors that the existing
diffusion LoRA loader (and any diffusers pipeline) can load.
core/training/diffusion_lora_trainer.py:
- DiffusionLoraConfig with validation/defaults (rank, alpha, targets, lr, steps, grad
accumulation, resolution, min-SNR gamma, gradient checkpointing, lr scheduler, seed,
mixed precision).
- discover_image_caption_pairs: captions from metadata.jsonl / captions.jsonl, per-image
.txt/.caption sidecars, or a dreambooth instance_prompt fallback (pure, unit-tested).
- run_diffusion_lora_training: the loop -- freeze base, PEFT-wrap the U-Net attention
projections, VAE-encode (fp32 VAE to avoid the SDXL fp16 overflow), sample noise +
timesteps, predict, MSE loss with optional min-SNR weighting (epsilon / v-prediction),
AdamW + get_scheduler + grad accumulation + grad clipping, then export via
save_lora_weights. Emits worker-protocol events (model_load_*, progress, complete) and
polls should_stop for a clean stop with a partial save.
- run_diffusion_training_process: mp.Queue subprocess adapter (event_queue / stop_queue),
so the training worker can spawn it; plus a CLI entry point.
Only SDXL (U-Net) is trained here; DiT families and the Studio UI form + route wiring are
follow-ups. The trainer is decoupled and worker-ready.
Tests: test_diffusion_lora_trainer.py covers caption discovery (metadata / sidecar /
instance prompt / skip-uncaptioned / errors), config normalisation + validation, the SDXL
add-time-ids, and the dict->config adapter. Verified live on GPU: a 60-step SDXL LoRA run
lowers the loss, exports a ~45 MB adapter, and loading it back shifts generation from
baseline (mean abs pixel diff ~55/255).

* diffusion trainer: emit learning_rate in progress events (Studio pump compatibility)
The Studio training pump reads 'learning_rate' from progress events; the diffusion
trainer emitted 'lr'. Rename the field (and the CLI reader) so the trainer's events are
directly consumable by the existing training status/SSE machinery when it is wired into
the worker, without a translation shim.
* Wire diffusion LoRA training into the Studio API
Make the SDXL LoRA trainer reachable from the app with a small, self-contained job
service and JSON routes, deliberately separate from the LLM TrainingBackend (whose
lifecycle -- LLM config build, per-run SQLite rows, matplotlib plots, transfer-to-chat-
inference -- is text-training specific and would mis-handle a diffusion run).
core/training/diffusion_training_service.py: DiffusionTrainingService runs one job at a
time -- validate the config cheaply (before any spawn), spawn the trainer subprocess
(spawn context, parent-lifetime bound), pump its events (model_load_* / progress /
complete / error) into an in-memory status snapshot, and support a clean stop. The
subprocess context and target are injectable so the full start -> pump -> status ->
complete path is unit-tested without real multiprocessing or torch.
routes/training.py: POST /api/train/diffusion/start (400 on a bad config, 409 when a job
is already running), POST /api/train/diffusion/stop, GET /api/train/diffusion/status
(JSON poll). models/training.py: DiffusionTrainingStartRequest + response schemas
mirroring DiffusionLoraConfig, so model_dump() passes straight through.
Tests: test_diffusion_training.py -- service happy path, bad-config-before-spawn,
concurrent-job rejection, clean stop, crash-without-terminal-event, event transitions;
plus route wiring via the FastAPI TestClient (start / 422 / 400 / 409 / status / stop)
with a mocked service. The diffusion trainer's progress events already use the field
names this path expects.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Import diffusion training schemas from models.training directly
The import-hoist lint flags newly re-exported names in the models/__init__.py hub as
unused (it does not treat __all__ membership as a use). Import the three diffusion
training schemas straight from models.training in routes/training.py, where they are
used in the route annotations and calls, and drop the __init__ re-export.
* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* Pipeline prefetch: fetch only the default torch weights
A full-pipeline prefetch kept every repo file outside assets/, so an official
repo that ships multiple formats (SDXL Base: fp16 variants, ONNX, OpenVINO,
Flax, a top-level single-file twin) downloaded tens of GB from_pretrained never
loads. Skip non-torch exports and dtype-variant twins in
_pipeline_file_downloaded, and drop a component .bin when the same directory
carries a picked safetensors weight (diffusers' own preference).
* Diffusion LoRA training: fall back to fp16 when CUDA lacks bf16
The default mixed_precision=bf16 hard-fails on pre-Ampere GPUs (T4 / V100 /
RTX 20xx) which have no bf16 compute; check torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()
and drop to fp16 there.
* Diffusion training service: join the old pump outside the lock
start() joined a finished job's pump thread while holding the service lock,
but the pump's final state writes need that same lock, so the join always
burned its full timeout and a stale pump could then overwrite the new job's
state. Join outside the lock (with a re-check after), and fence _apply_event
and the exit handler by process identity so a superseded pump can never touch
the current job's state. Adds regression tests for both.

* Diffusion LoRA training: harden config handling, cancellation, SDXL conditioning, and safety
Addresses review findings on the SDXL LoRA trainer:
- Gate the base model with the same trust check as inference (unsloth/*, allowlisted
official bases, or a local path) before from_pretrained, so an untrusted remote repo
is never fetched or deserialised.
- Check the stop signal before the (slow) model load, not only between steps, so a
cancel during download is honoured; a stop may carry save=False to cancel without
leaving a partial adapter.
- Per-sample SDXL add_time_ids from the actual crop (original size + crop offset, with
the offset mirrored on horizontal flip) instead of a fixed uncropped-square tensor.
- Apply EXIF orientation before resize/crop so rotated photos train upright.
- Skip gradient clipping when max_grad_norm <= 0 (the Studio 'disable' value) instead
of scaling every gradient to zero.
- Coerce Studio config strings/blanks: learning_rate string to float, blank hf_token to
anonymous, gradient_checkpointing 'none'/'true'/'unsloth' to bool; reject a zero/negative
lora_alpha or learning_rate.
- Alias the generic Studio training payload keys (model_name/max_steps/batch_size/lora_r/
lr_scheduler_type/random_seed) onto the diffusion field names.
- Mirror the trained adapter into loras/diffusion so the Images LoRA picker discovers it.
- Report worker exceptions in both message and error keys so the failure is not lost.
Adds regression tests for the config coercion/validation and aliasing.

* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.

* Diffusion training API: LLM interlock, pre-spawn VRAM free, path containment, no dropped knobs
Four review findings on the diffusion training start path:
- It spawned the SDXL trainer without checking the LLM TrainingBackend, so a
start while an LLM run was active put two trainers on the same GPU. Add a
symmetric interlock: diffusion start returns 409 when LLM training is active,
and LLM start refuses while a diffusion job is active.
- It went straight to service.start() without freeing GPU residents. Add a
pre-spawn free of the export subprocess, the resident Images pipeline (with an
arbiter release), and chat models, mirroring the LLM start path.
- data_dir / output_dir were passed through unresolved, so Studio-relative names
failed and absolute paths bypassed containment. Resolve them with
resolve_dataset_path / resolve_output_dir before spawn (400 on an uncontained
path).
- The request model dropped max_grad_norm and lora_target_modules, so runs that
set them trained with defaults. Add both fields.
The gemini pump-join deadlock was already fixed earlier (join outside the lock +
proc-identity fence). Note: honoring a stop DURING model load is a trainer-loop
change owned by the diffusion training engine PR (should_stop polled before the
first optimizer step). Adds route + model regression tests.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* SDXL: reject GGUF up front, skip unused base weights, drop refiner, and harden helpers
Addresses review findings on the SDXL family:
- Reject a GGUF load for single_file_is_pipeline families (SDXL) in validate_load_request,
before the route evicts the current model; SDXL has no transformer-only GGUF variant.
- Skip base-repo weight files when a whole-pipeline single file is loaded: from_single_file
(config=base) needs only the base config/tokenizer/scheduler, so a local .safetensors no
longer triggers a multi-GB base download.
- Remove the SDXL refiner from the non-GGUF trust allowlist: it is an img2img-only pipeline
but this backend loads every sdxl repo as the base txt2img pipeline.
- Normalize a blank/whitespace hf_token to None once in load_pipeline so every load branch
degrades to anonymous instead of erroring on a malformed token.
- Read the denoiser dtype from a parameter (compile-wrapped modules may lack .dtype) and
access state.family.denoiser_attr directly.
Adds/updates regression tests for the trust allowlist, GGUF rejection, and base-config filter.
* Images: preserve restored LoRAs through model load and never send hidden LoRAs
- The LoRA effect cleared the selection on every load->capable transition, which
wiped adapters restored from a gallery recipe before the model finished loading.
Track the previously-loaded family in a ref and clear only on a real family swap;
keep the selection on the initial load and on unload.
- Gate the generate payload's loras on loraCapable so a restored selection that is
hidden (loaded model does not support LoRA) is never sent to the backend.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Merge diffusion-sdxl into diffusion-lora-ux; keep options-only LoRA catch
The catalog-refresh .catch from the lower branch clears the selected adapters
too, which is right for its catalog-only picker but wrong here: this picker
holds free-text HF repo ids that are valid without being in the catalog, so a
transient refresh failure must not wipe them. Family swaps still clear the
selection and hidden LoRAs are never sent.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Align the VAE to the denoiser's first FLOATING dtype, not its first parameter
A GGUF-quantized transformer's leading parameters are packed uint8 storage,
so reading next(parameters()).dtype handed nn.Module.to() an integer dtype
and every image-conditioned generation on a GGUF model (Qwen-Image-Edit)
failed with a 500. Probe the parameters for the first floating dtype, treat
an all-integer module as a no-op, and also catch TypeError so an unexpected
dtype can never break generation. Regression test included.

* Count LR scheduler warmup/decay in optimizer steps, not micro-steps
lr_sched.step() runs once per outer optimizer step (after the gradient
accumulation inner loop), for train_steps total. The scheduler was
configured with num_warmup_steps and num_training_steps multiplied by
gradient_accumulation_steps, so with accumulation > 1 a warmup or
non-constant schedule stretched past the run and never reached the
intended decay. Count both in optimizer steps.
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Guard inference loads and worker lifetime against diffusion training
Teach the chat and image load guards about an active diffusion (SDXL) LoRA
job: a chat load is refused (its footprint cannot be fit-checked against the
trainer) and an image load is refused outright, mirroring the existing LLM
training guards, so a load can no longer allocate GPU memory alongside the
trainer and undo the pre-start cleanup.
Bind the diffusion trainer subprocess to the parent's lifetime and scrub the
native path lease secret from it by running the child through
run_without_native_path_secret, matching the inference/export/LLM workers, so
a Studio crash or kill no longer leaves the trainer holding the GPU.
Reset in_model_load on the complete and error terminal events: a stop or
failure during model loading otherwise leaves the status reporting a stale
loading indicator after the job has ended.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Refuse non-SDXL base models at diffusion training start
The trainer only supports the SDXL U-Net, but a FLUX / Qwen-Image / Z-Image
repo or a GGUF filename passed as base_model was accepted and then failed
minutes later inside StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained with an
unrelated-looking error. Add a name-based guard in normalized() so known
DiT-family names and .gguf checkpoints are rejected up front, which the API
start route surfaces as an immediate 400 with a message that says exactly
which bases are trainable. Unrecognisable names still pass through so custom
local SDXL checkpoints keep working.
* Add diffusion dataset upload and training info endpoints
Training an image LoRA required knowing the Studio home layout and copying
files onto the server by hand, which is the most confusing step of the whole
flow. Two small endpoints fix that:
- GET /api/train/diffusion/info reports the datasets and outputs roots plus
every dataset folder that contains images (with image/caption counts), so
the UI can offer a picker instead of a blind free-text path.
- POST /api/train/diffusion/dataset uploads images and optional caption
.txt / metadata.jsonl files into a named folder under the datasets root,
creating it on first use and accumulating on repeat uploads so large sets
can arrive in batches. Names are validated to a single path component and
files stream to disk under the same per-upload size cap as LLM dataset
uploads. The returned name is a valid data_dir for /diffusion/start.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Validate diffusion training config before freeing the GPU
The start route freed resident GPU workloads (export, Images pipeline, chat)
before the service validated the config, so a start that was then refused,
now including a non-SDXL base model, tore down the user's loaded model for
nothing. Run the same cheap normalise pass first; the LLM path already
follows this rule via its before_spawn hook.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.

* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion: ControlNet for the Images workflow (diffusers)
Add ControlNet conditioning, the #2 most-used diffusion workflow after
LoRA, on the diffusers backend for the families with ControlNet pipelines
(FLUX.1 and Qwen-Image), with Union models as the default picks.
Backend
- New core/inference/diffusion_controlnet.py: family-gated discovery
(curated Union models + local dirs + bare owner/name repos), resolution
to a loadable repo/dir, control-image preprocessing (passthrough +
a dependency-free canny edge map), and a supports_controlnet gate.
- diffusion.py: a ControlNet manager parallel to the LoRA one. Loads the
(small) ControlNet model once via from_pretrained (cached by id) and
builds the family's ControlNet pipeline via Pipeline.from_pipe(base,
controlnet=model), reusing the resident base modules at their loaded
dtype (no reload, no recast). Passes the control image + conditioning
scale + guidance start/end at generate time; cleared on unload.
- Families: FLUX.1 -> FluxControlNetPipeline/Model, Qwen-Image ->
QwenImageControlNetPipeline/Model. Others declare none (gated off).
- Gated off for the native engine, GGUF-via-diffusers, and torchao
fp8/int8 dense (same rule as LoRA). v1 conditions txt2img only.
- Request contract: optional controlnet on DiffusionGenerateRequest;
supports_controlnet in status; the choice persisted in gallery meta.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-controlnets for the picker.
Frontend
- A ControlNet control in the Images rail (model select + control-image
upload + control-type select + strength slider), gated by the loaded
model's supports_controlnet + family, shown for text-to-image.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_controlnet.py (10): discovery/resolve/preprocess/gate
helpers, request validation, family wiring, and the diffusers pipe
manager (loads once, caches, from_pipe with controlnet, rejects
unsupported families).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio ControlNet: show the picker on the Create tab (workflow id is 'create', not 'txt2img')
The ControlNet control gated on workflow === 'txt2img', but the Images workflow tab ids are create/transform/inpaint/extend/upscale/reference/edit -- there is no 'txt2img'. So the picker never rendered even with a ControlNet-capable model loaded. Gate on 'create' (the text-to-image tab) for both the picker and the request wiring. Found via a live Playwright capture of the running Studio.
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* ControlNet: reject filesystem-like ids and do not cache a model past an unload race
Two review findings on the ControlNet path:
- resolve_controlnet's bare-repo fallback accepted any id with a slash, so a
path-shaped id (/tmp/x, ../x) reached from_pretrained as a local directory.
Restrict the fallback to a strict owner/name HF repo id shape.
- _controlnet_pipe now re-checks the cancel event after the blocking
from_pretrained: an unload that raced the download had already cleared the
caches, so caching the late module would pin it past the unload.
* ControlNet: address review findings on the diffusers path
- resolve_controlnet enforces catalog family compatibility so a direct API call
cannot load a ControlNet built for another family through the wrong pipeline.
- Unknown ControlNet ids now surface as a 400 (call site maps FileNotFoundError
to ValueError) instead of a generic 500.
- strength 0 disables ControlNet entirely, so a no-op selection never pays the
download / VRAM cost; the control image is decoded and validated BEFORE the
ControlNet is resolved or built, so a malformed image fails fast for the same reason.
- ControlNet loads use the base compute dtype (state.dtype is a display string,
not a torch.dtype, so it silently fell back to float32) and honor the base
offload policy via group offloading instead of forcing the module resident.
- Empty/malformed HF token coerced to anonymous access.
- Flux Union ControlNet control_mode mapped from the selected control type.
- resolve_controlnet drops the unused hf_token/cancel_event params.
- ControlNetSpec validates guidance_start <= guidance_end (clean 422).
- Images UI ControlNet Select shows its placeholder when nothing is selected.
Adds regression tests for family enforcement and the union control-mode map.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.

* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* Harden ControlNet resolve, gallery metadata, and the control-type picker
Check cancellation immediately after a ControlNet from_pretrained and before
any device placement, so an unload/eviction that raced the download does not
allocate several GB onto the GPU after the load was already cleared.
Require a loadable weight or shard index (not just config.json) before a local
ControlNet folder is advertised, so an interrupted copy is hidden instead of
failing deep in from_pretrained as a generic 500.
Do not record a strength-0 ControlNet in the gallery recipe: it is treated as
disabled and skipped, so the image is unconditioned and the metadata must not
claim a ControlNet was applied.
Build the control-type picker from the selected ControlNet's advertised
control_types instead of a hardcoded passthrough/canny pair, so a union model
with a precomputed depth or pose map sends the correct control_mode.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio diffusion: LoRA adapters for the Images workflow
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.

* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio diffusion LoRA: sanitize dots out of adapter aliases
The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Diffusion LoRA: harden resolution, native tag precedence, and diffusers teardown
Address review findings on the LoRA path:
- resolve_one: normalise a blank/whitespace hf_token to None (anonymous access)
and reject a client-supplied weight file with traversal / absolute path.
- resolve_specs: convert FileNotFoundError from an unknown/stale id to ValueError
so the route returns 400 instead of a generic 500.
- _scan_local: disambiguate local adapters that share a stem (foo.safetensors vs
foo.gguf) so each is uniquely addressable.
- inject_prompt_tags: the backend-validated weight now wins over a user-typed
<lora:ALIAS:...> for a selected adapter; unselected user tags are left alone.
- diffusers _apply_loras: reject a .gguf adapter with a clear error before touching
the pipe (diffusers loads safetensors only).
- _unload_locked: drop the explicit unload_lora_weights() on teardown; the pipe is
dropped wholesale (freeing adapters), so the previous call could race an in-flight
denoise on the same pipe.
- Images page: use a stable LoRA key and clear the selection (not just the options)
when the catalog refresh fails.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Harden diffusion LoRA handling on the diffusers and native paths
Reject LoRA on a torch.compile'd diffusers transformer (Speed=default/max):
diffusers requires the adapter loaded before compilation, so applying one to
the already-compiled module fails with adapter-key mismatches. The status
gate now hides the picker and generate raises a clear message instead.
Convert a cancelled Hub LoRA download (RuntimeError Cancelled) to the
diffusion cancellation sentinel in resolve_specs, so an unload/superseding
load during resolution maps to a 409 instead of a generic server error.
Drop weight-0 LoRA rows before the native support gate so a request carrying
only disabled adapters stays a no-op on families where native LoRA is
unsupported, matching the diffusers path.
Reject duplicate LoRA ids in the request model: both apply paths suffix
colliding names, so a repeated id would stack the same adapter past its
per-adapter weight bound.
Strip all user-typed <lora:...> prompt tags on the native path (only the
selected adapters are materialized in the managed lora-model-dir, so an
unselected tag can never resolve), and restore saved LoRA selections from a
gallery recipe so restore reproduces a LoRA image.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.

Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.

* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion: eager patches + torch.compile cache speed phase
Adds the opt-in speed path for the GGUF diffusion transformer behind a
selectable speed mode (default off, so output is unchanged until a profile
is chosen):
- diffusion_eager_patches.py: shared eager fast-paths (channels_last,
attention/backend selection, fused norms and QKV) installed at load and
rolled back on unload or failed load.
- diffusion_compile_cache.py / diffusion_gguf_compile.py: a persistent
torch.compile cache and the GGUF-transformer compile wiring.
- diffusion_arch_patches.py: architecture-specific patches.
- diffusion_patch_backend.py: shared install/restore plumbing.
- diffusion_speed.py: speed-profile planning.
Tests for each module plus the benchmarking and probe scripts used to
measure speed, memory, and accuracy of the path.
* Studio diffusion: image workflows (safetensors, image-conditioned, editing) + Images UI
Backend:
- Load non-GGUF safetensors models: full bnb-4bit pipelines and single-file
fp8 transformers, gated to the unsloth org plus a curated allowlist.
- Image-conditioned workflows built with Pipeline.from_pipe so they reuse the
loaded transformer/VAE/text-encoder with no extra VRAM: img2img, inpaint,
outpaint, and a hires-fix upscale pass.
- Instruction editing as its own family kind (Qwen-Image-Edit-2511,
FLUX.1-Kontext-dev) and FLUX.2-klein reference conditioning (single and
multi-reference) plus klein inpaint.
- Auto-resize odd-sized inputs to a multiple of 16 (and resize the matched
mask) so img2img/inpaint/edit no longer reject non-/16 uploads. Bound the
decoded image size and cap upscale output to avoid OOM on large inputs.
- Fixes: from_pipe defaulting to a float32 recast that crashed torchao
quantized transformers; image-conditioned calls forcing the slider size
onto the input image. Native sd.cpp engine rejects image-conditioned and
reference requests it cannot serve.
Frontend:
- Redesigned Images page with capability-gated workflow tabs (Create,
Transform, Inpaint, Extend, Upscale, Reference, Edit), a brush mask editor,
client-side outpaint, and a multi-reference picker.
- Advanced options moved to a right-docked panel mirroring Chat: closed by
default, toggled by a single fixed top-bar button that stays in place.
sd.cpp installer: pin the release, verify each download's sha256, add a
download timeout, and make the source repo configurable for a future mirror.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: correct the Advanced panel comment (closed by default, fixed toggle)
* Studio: do not force diffusers pipelines cross-tagged gguf into the GGUF variant expander
Some diffusers image repos (e.g. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2512-unsloth-bnb-4bit) carry a
stray "gguf" tag on the Hub but ship no .gguf files. The model search classified
them as GGUF from the bare tag, so the picker rendered the GGUF variant expander,
which then dead-ended at "No GGUF variants found." Trust the bare gguf tag only when
the repo is not a diffusers pipeline; the -GGUF name suffix and real gguf metadata
(populated via expand=gguf) remain authoritative, so genuine GGUF repos are unaffected.
* Studio Images: load non-curated unsloth/on-device diffusers repos instead of no-op
handleModelSelect only loaded curated safetensors ids and GGUF variant picks; any other
non-GGUF pick (an on-device diffusers folder, or a future unsloth diffusers image repo
surfaced by search) silently did nothing. Treat such a pick as a full diffusers pipeline
load when the id is unsloth-hosted or on-device (the backend infers the family + base repo
and gates loads to unsloth/* or local paths), and show a clear message otherwise instead
of silently ignoring the click. Curated and GGUF paths are unchanged.
* Studio Images: keep curated safetensors models in Recommended after download
The curated bnb-4bit / fp8 diffusion rows were filtered out of the Images picker's
Recommended list once cached (curatedSafetensorsRows dropped anything in downloadedSet),
so they vanished from the picker after the first load and could only be found by typing an
exact search. The row already renders a downloaded badge, matching how GGUF Recommended
rows stay visible when cached. Drop the exclusion so the curated safetensors always list.
* Studio Images: clarify the GGUF transformer-quant Advanced control
Renamed the confusing "Transformer quant / GGUF default" control to "GGUF speed mode"
with an "Off (run the GGUF)" default, and reworded the hint to state plainly that FP8/INT8/
FP4 load the FULL base model (larger download + more VRAM) rather than re-packing the GGUF,
falling back to the GGUF if it can't fit. Behavior unchanged; labels/hint only.
* Studio Images: list on-device unsloth diffusion models in the picker
The Images picker's On Device tab hid every non-GGUF cached repo whenever a
task filter was active, so downloaded unsloth diffusion pipelines (bnb-4bit
and FP8 safetensors) never showed up there. List cached repos that pass the
task gate, limited under a filter to unsloth-hosted ones so base repos (which
fail the diffusion load trust gate) don't appear only to dead-end on click.
Chat behavior is unchanged: the task gate still drops image repos there.
* Studio: hide single-file image checkpoints from the chat model picker
The chat picker treats a cached repo as an image model, and hides it, only
when it ships a diffusers model_index.json. Single-file, ComfyUI, and
ControlNet image checkpoints (an FP8 Qwen-Image, a z-image safetensors, a
Qwen-Image ControlNet) carry none, so they surfaced as loadable chat models.
Fall back to resolving the repo id against the known diffusion families, the
same resolver the Images backend loads from, so these checkpoints are tagged
text-to-image and stay in the Images picker only.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: add the FLUX.2-dev model family
Loading unsloth/FLUX.2-dev-GGUF failed because detect_family knew only the
Qwen3-based FLUX.2-klein, so FLUX.2-dev (the full, Mistral-based Flux2Pipeline)
resolved to nothing and the load errored. Add a flux.2-dev family: Flux2Pipeline
+ Flux2Transformer2DModel over the black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev base repo (gated,
reachable with an HF token), with its FLUX.2 32-channel VAE and Mistral text
encoder wired for the sd-cli path from the open Comfy-Org/flux2-dev mirror.
text-to-image only: diffusers 0.38 ships no Flux2 img2img / inpaint pipeline for
dev. Frontend gets sensible dev defaults (28 steps, guidance 4), distinct from
klein's turbo defaults. Verified live: GGUF load resolves the family + gated base
repo and generates a real 1024x1024 image on GPU.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio Images: clearer error for an unsupported diffusion model
When a repo id resolves to no diffusion family the load raised 'Could not infer a
diffusion family... Pass family_override (z-image)', which points at an unrelated
family and doesn't say what is supported. Replace it with a message that lists the
supported families (from a new supported_family_names helper) and notes that video
models and image models whose diffusers transformer has no single-file loader are
not supported. Applies to both the diffusers and native sd.cpp load paths. Also
refreshes two stale family-registry comments that still called FLUX.2-dev omitted.

* Remove stray async task scratch outputs committed by mistake
* Diffusion: guard trust check against OSError and validate conditioning inputs
- _is_trusted_diffusion_repo: wrap Path.exists() so a repo id with invalid
characters (or a bare owner/name id) can't raise OSError; treat any failure as
not-a-local-path and fall through to the unsloth/ allowlist. validate_load_request
still raises the clear FileNotFoundError for a genuinely missing local pick.
- generate(): reject mask_image / upscale / reference_images supplied without an
input image, and reject reference_images on a family that does not support
reference conditioning, instead of silently degrading to txt2img / img2img.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Address Codex review findings on the image-workflows PR
Keep diffusion.py importable without torch: the compile/arch patch modules
import torch at module level, so import them lazily at their load/unload
call sites instead of at module load. This restores the torchless contract
so get_diffusion_backend() works on a CPU/native sd.cpp install.
Match family reject keywords and aliases as whole path/name segments, not
raw substrings, so an unrelated word like edited, edition, or kontextual no
longer misroutes or hides a valid base image model, while supported edit
families (Qwen-Image-Edit, FLUX Kontext) still resolve. Mirror the same
segment matching in the picker task filter.
Route FLUX.2-dev native guidance through --guidance like the other FLUX
families rather than --cfg-scale. Reject native upscale requests that have
no input image. Read image header dimensions and reject over-limit inputs
before decoding pixels, so a crafted small-payload image cannot spike
memory. Reject an upscale that would shrink the source below its input
size. Validate the model_kind against the filename extension before the
GPU handoff. Estimate a local diffusers pipeline's size from its on-disk
weights so auto memory planning does not skip offload and OOM. Report
workflows: [txt2img] from the native backend status so the Create tab
stays enabled for a loaded native model. Clamp the outpaint canvas to the
backend's 4096px decode limit.
Adds regression tests for segment matching and kind/extension validation.
* Address further Codex findings on the image-workflows PR
- Persist the actual output image size in the gallery recipe instead of the
request sliders: Transform/Inpaint/Edit derive the size from the uploaded
image, Extend grows the canvas, and Upscale resizes it, so the sliders
recorded (and later restored) the wrong dimensions for those workflows.
- Reject a remote '*-GGUF' repo loaded as a full pipeline (no single-file
name) in validate_load_request, so the unloadable pick fails before chat is
evicted rather than deep in from_pretrained.
- Only publish an image-conditioned from_pipe wrapper to the shared aux cache
when the load is still current: from_pipe runs under the generate lock but
not the state lock, so an unload racing its construction could otherwise
cache a wrapper over torn-down modules that a later load would reuse.
- Verify the Windows CUDA runtime archive checksum before extracting it, like
the main sd-cli archive, so a corrupt or tampered runtime is rejected rather
than extracted next to the binary.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.

* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: persistent sd-server for the native engine (load once, serve many)
The native sd.cpp tier ran sd-cli one-shot per image, so begin_load only resolved
asset paths and every generation re-spawned sd-cli and reloaded the multi-GB GGUF
from disk (a batch of N = N full reloads). This makes it a resident backend backed by
stable-diffusion.cpp's persistent sd-server, mirroring the chat backend's llama-server
lifecycle:
- begin_load spawns sd-server once (the model loads there) and polls /v1/models until
ready; unload kills it.
- generate submits ONE async /sdcpp/v1/img_gen job for the whole batch (no reload),
polls it to completion, and decodes the returned images. Step progress and ETA come
from the server's stdout (the job JSON has no per-step field).
- The one-shot sd-cli path is kept as an automatic fallback: it is used when sd-server
is absent, and also when a present sd-server fails to start, so behavior is never
worse than before. The public backend surface is unchanged, so routes/router need no
change.
New: sd_cpp_server.py (SdCppServer manager: spawn/readiness/job-submit-poll/cancel/stop,
process spawned inside the drain thread so PR_SET_PDEATHSIG binds to the interpreter, not
a transient thread; empty scratch dir for the server's per-request LoRA/upscaler/embd
scans). Extended: sd_cpp_engine.py (find_sd_server_binary), sd_cpp_args.py
(build_sd_cpp_server_command + build_img_gen_request), sd_cpp_backend.py (server/one-shot
modes, ensure_sd_server_binary upgrades existing sd-cli-only installs), and the prebuilt
installer (locate + chmod sd-server, which ships in the same archive as sd-cli).
Verified on a B200 (Z-Image-Turbo-GGUF, CUDA sd-server): one model load across multiple
generations (server pid stable, a single 'listening on:'), a batch served from one job
with distinct per-image seeds, the second generation faster than the first, and
unload/reload spawning a fresh process. 105 sd.cpp + 81 diffusion tests pass.
Addresses the review of the Phase 16 native-engine PR.

* Studio native diffusion: harden the persistent sd-server path
Addresses review findings on the sd-server backend:
- Router: treat a runnable sd-server as native availability, so an
sd-server-only install (no sd-cli) still routes to the native engine
instead of silently falling back to diffusers.
- Backend: probe the sd-server binary before the multi-GB asset download,
falling back to one-shot sd-cli up front when it cannot run.
- Backend: a lazily cached one-shot fallback engine no longer pins the
backend to one-shot; only an explicitly injected engine does, so a
now-available server can be used on the next load.
- Backend: mask explicit seeds to sd.cpp's signed int64 range before
submitting a server job (large seeds were rejected/wrapped in server
mode only), and split batches above the server's per-job limit into
chunks, each with a timeout proportional to its image count.
- Backend/server: make server startup cancellable. stop() signals an abort
event before taking the lifecycle lock so a blocking readiness wait bails
promptly; unload() stops a not-yet-committed pending server.
- Backend: status() clears stale loaded state when the resident server has
exited, so clients reload instead of hammering a dead process with 500s.
- Server: abandon a poll whose best-effort cancel is not honored within a
grace window (releasing the generate lock), report a pre-submit
stop/cancel as cancellation (409, not 500), and verify JSON responses are
the expected type before indexing.
- Server: use a bounded deque for the stdout tail buffer.
- Add native_mode to DiffusionStatusResponse so the field is not dropped by
the response model.
Adds regression tests for each behavioral change.

* sd-server: harden native lifecycle and GPU install path
- Treat a crashed sd-server probe (signal death / non-127 nonzero) as
unavailable so a broken prebuilt falls back to diffusers instead of
routing to a server that dies on startup.
- Drop stale loaded state when a resident server has exited before a
generate, returning the recoverable not-loaded path rather than a 500.
- Reject incomplete server batches (fewer blobs than requested) like the
one-shot path instead of silently dropping images.
- Bound the server log tail in place (keep the deque(maxlen)) and bypass
HTTP(S) proxies for the loopback client (trust_env=False).
- Honor a stop() that arrives after the server is published but before
start() takes the lock, so a cancelled load cannot leak a spawned model
process.
- Map a closed-client RuntimeError during poll to a cancellation when the
generation is being cancelled, so unload races surface as 409 not 500.
- Stop a timed-out server job (best-effort cancel then teardown) so an
abandoned generation cannot keep denoising and block later loads.
- Install the accelerator-matched sd-server build (ROCm/Vulkan/CUDA) and
probe the resident server before auto-installing sd-cli, so a server-only
or GPU host does not fetch the wrong or an unused binary.

* Studio: expose full compressed-tensors scheme set in an export formats dropdown
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: multi-select export formats, portable torchao FP8/INT8, GGUF LoRA, source parity
Export page overhaul on top of the formats dropdown:
- Unify merged precision into one sorted multi-select list (16-bit first, then
8-bit, then 4-bit). Drop "vLLM" from labels, add INT8 (W8A8), INT8 (W8A16),
INT4 (W4A16), MXFP4, MXFP8. Quick formats render as toggle pills; the rest live
in a multi-select "More formats" dropdown, so several formats export in one run.
- Add a portable torchao FP8/INT8 save path (Float8WeightOnlyConfig /
Int8WeightOnlyConfig) that needs no NVIDIA GPU to produce and loads in vLLM.
FP8 serializes to safetensors, INT8 to .bin. Wired into save_pretrained_merged
and push_to_hub_merged via a TORCHAO_EXPORT_SCHEMES registry and
_unsloth_save_torchao, parallel to the compressed-tensors path.
- Hide NVIDIA-only compressed-tensors formats when no NVIDIA GPU is present; keep
16-bit and portable FP8/INT8. The backend also rejects a compressed request on
non-NVIDIA hardware so it stays authoritative.
- Relax merged export to non-PEFT models so Local Model and Hugging Face sources
get the same 16-bit / compressed / portable options.
- GGUF: send the whole quant list in one call (merge once, quantize many).
- LoRA: add a GGUF adapter option (convert_lora_to_gguf.py) with an outtype
select (f16/bf16/f32/q8_0/auto), alongside the safetensors adapter.
- Thread the new fields through models, routes, orchestrator, and worker; extend
the export tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: gate export by accelerator with a torch-aware reason; fix export save dir naming
Export runs through Unsloth, which requires a compute accelerator (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel
GPU or Apple MLX) and has no CPU code path, so a bare-CPU host cannot export even
with PyTorch installed. Add export_capability() in utils/hardware that reports
export_supported plus a precise reason so the UI stops showing a generic "no GPU":
- pytorch_not_installed: a --no-torch install (even a physical GPU is unusable)
- no_accelerator: PyTorch present but no supported accelerator (bare CPU)
- mlx_unavailable: Apple Silicon where the MLX stack is missing or too old
Expose the fields on /api/system/hardware and /api/system, and guard the mutating
export routes (load-checkpoint, export/merged|base|gguf|lora) with HTTP 400 and the
reason, leaving read-only endpoints usable so the Export page still renders.
Make core/export/export.py import without PyTorch and without a usable accelerator
(the Unsloth import is caught) so the export worker degrades to a clear message
instead of crashing at import.
Frontend: keep /export reachable on chat-only hosts and gray out the method and
format options with the backend reason (Alert plus disabled MethodPicker) instead
of silently redirecting to /chat, so users see why export is unavailable.
Also fix the export save directory producing "model/null" for Local Model and
Hugging Face sources that have no run/checkpoint, naming the folder from the model id.
* CI: validate Studio export capability gating on Linux, Windows and macOS
Add a small pytest matrix that runs studio/backend/tests/test_export_capability.py
on ubuntu-latest, windows-latest and macos-latest. It confirms, on each real OS,
that hardware.export_capability() reports the right decision and reason
(pytorch_not_installed, no_accelerator, or mlx_unavailable) and that the export
backend imports without PyTorch and degrades to a clear message instead of crashing.
Hosted runners have no GPU/MLX, so this covers the "export unavailable, here is why"
path a Mac/Windows user without an accelerator sees; a real accelerator export is
validated separately. The job installs only a CPU PyTorch plus the backend import
deps (no unsloth, triton, or llama.cpp), so it runs in seconds with no GPU.
* Studio export: address Codex review (source-aware gating, GGUF LoRA token/MLX/guard)
Frontend (export-page):
- Gate LoRA and quantized-model restrictions on the active source. isAdapter /
isQuantized come from the selected checkpoint; in Local Model / Hugging Face
("model") source mode they were stale, so LoRA stayed wrongly enabled for a
direct base model (backend then rejects "No adapter to export") and a stale
"quantized" flag disabled every method for an unrelated, exportable model. Add
effectiveIsAdapter / effectiveIsQuantized (false outside checkpoint mode) and use
them in the method-reset effect and the MethodPicker disabled state.
- Hide the GGUF LoRA option on a macOS/MLX host (the backend rejects GGUF LoRA on
MLX), so users no longer pick it, wait through the load, and always fail. Disable
the "GGUF adapter" button on a Mac host and never send loraGguf there.
Backend (core/export/export.py):
- Pass the HF token into the GGUF LoRA conversion (save_pretrained_gguf), so a
gated/private base model's config fetch in convert_lora_to_gguf.py is
authenticated; without it the load can succeed but the conversion fails.
- Guard the save_pretrained_gguf capability check with getattr so an older Unsloth
model that lacks the method returns the clean "not supported" message instead of
an AttributeError that surfaces as a generic 500.
* Studio export: address 2nd Codex review (CI index, empty merged, test import)
- studio-export-capability-ci.yml: add --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple to
the torch install so torch's transitive deps still resolve; --index-url alone
replaces PyPI with only the CPU wheel index, which does not serve all of them.
- export-page handleStart: reject an empty merged selection (mirrors canExport), so
clicking the panel's Start button with every precision pill deselected no longer
submits mergedSelections: [] and launches an unintended default 16-bit export.
- test_export_imatrix_compressed: the torchao-registry test now reads unsloth/save.py
as text (like the other ast/string checks) instead of `import unsloth.save`, which
raised ModuleNotFoundError in the CPU studio-backend suite that has no unsloth
installed.
* Studio export: make comments succinct across the export changes
* Studio export: use load token for local GGUF LoRA export of gated bases
* Studio export: harden portable torchao path and gate multi-format Hub push
torchao (_unsloth_save_torchao):
- merge to an isolated temp staging dir so a co-selected 16-bit output at save_directory is not deleted
- narrow VLM detection to vision_config / ForVisionText2Text so T5/BART/Whisper are not misrouted
- forward trust_remote_code (from auto_map) to the reload so custom-code models export
Export UI:
- hide portable torchao formats on macOS/MLX (backend rejects quantized export there)
- restrict a Hub merged export to a single format (each writes to the repo root)
* Studio export: torchao tokenizer remote-code + XPU offload, scale GGUF timeout
torchao (_unsloth_save_torchao):
- honor auto_map in the staged tokenizer/processor configs (not just model.config) when
deriving trust_remote_code, so custom-code tokenizers reload after the merge
- offload single-device XPU models to CPU (and empty the XPU cache) before the reload, matching
the CUDA path, so an Intel GPU that fits the model once does not OOM on the second copy
Export orchestrator:
- scale the GGUF wait timeout by the number of requested quants so a multi-quant list export of a
large model does not time out at a flat 3600s
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio export: show portable torchao formats only on non-NVIDIA (CPU) hosts
Portable torchao FP8/INT8 is the fallback for hosts without the NVIDIA compressed-tensors path.
On an NVIDIA GPU the compressed-tensors FP8/FP4/INT formats are the intended path (llm-compressor
auto-installs), so hide the portable duplicates there; keep them on CPU / non-NVIDIA hosts and
continue hiding them on macOS/MLX.
* Studio export: report all output folders and the exported formats
- Multi-format merged export now collects every sibling output directory (one per selected
precision) instead of only the last; the success banner lists them all.
- Show the selected precision formats in the run summary (a Formats row, like GGUF Quantizations),
so the panel says what is being exported rather than just 'Merged Model'.
- Persist the selected formats in the run summary and seed them on mount, so navigating away and
back (or toggling the export method) restores the selection instead of resetting to 16-bit.
* Studio export: list all output formats, add GGUF LoRA target, default Q8_0, auto-select newest checkpoint
- Progress/summary panel now shows a Formats row with the selected merged
formats, and the success banner lists every output folder a multi-format
merged run creates (one line per format) instead of only the last one.
- Merged format selection is seeded from the active run, so navigating away
and back (or switching method cards) no longer resets it to 16-bit.
- GGUF / Llama.cpp now offers an Export target toggle (Full model or LoRA
adapter) for adapter checkpoints, reusing the LoRA GGUF export path.
- Removed the Auto GGUF LoRA output type and defaulted to Q8_0 in the UI,
the request model, and the backend defaults; the outtype list is now
Q8_0/F16/BF16/F32. Core save.py still accepts auto for external callers.
- When a finetune has no checkpoint selected, auto-select the newest one.
* Studio torchao export: robust reload class + optional VLM import
Two fixes to the portable torchao FP8/INT8 export reload, from review of the
narrowed VLM detection:
- Encoder-decoder seq2seq checkpoints (T5/BART/Whisper) are not causal LMs.
With the narrowed is_vlm test they now correctly skip the image-text class,
but fell through to AutoModelForCausalLM and failed to reload after the merge.
Reload them with their own architecture class from the config instead.
- AutoModelForImageTextToText was imported unconditionally at the top of the
torchao path, so on Transformers builds without that class the import aborted
every torchao export (even text-only). Import it lazily only for a VLM, with
the AutoModelForVision2Seq fallback used elsewhere in Unsloth.
* Studio: enable FP8/FP4 compressed export for newer-transformers models
The shipped llm-compressor 0.10.x pins transformers<=4.57.6, so FP8/FP4 export failed
for models needing a transformers 5.x sidecar (Qwen3.5, Gemma-4, Qwen3-Next): the
quantization subprocess crashed importing the removed TORCH_INIT_FUNCTIONS.
Run the quantization against a dedicated llm-compressor-main "shadow": a --target
package dir (transformers 5.10.2 + llm-compressor main + compressed-tensors) layered
over the existing torch. It installs --no-deps so torch is never touched (works on any
Studio torch build), is provisioned lazily and fingerprint-cached, and can be turned
off with UNSLOTH_DISABLE_LLMCOMPRESSOR_MAIN.
- transformers_version.py: provision + validate .venv_llmcompressor.
- export.py: route all compressed exports through the shadow when available; else keep
the workspace 0.10.x path and fail fast past its transformers ceiling.
- save.py: launch _compressed_quantize.py with a clean PYTHONPATH = shadow.
- _compressed_quantize.py: skip linear_attn / vision tower / MTP modules (matches the
RedHatAI and NVIDIA reference quants, and is required by the grouped schemes).
Verified all four schemes (fp8, w8a8, w4a16, mxfp4) on Qwen3.5-9B and Llama-3.2-1B, and
fp8 on Gemma-4, end to end through Studio.

* inference: add passthrough tool-call healing core (heal_gate, heal_openai_message, StreamToolCallHealer, nudge helpers)
Small GGUF models often emit tool calls as text (<tool_call>{...}</tool_call>,
Gemma <|tool_call>, <function=> XML) instead of structured tool_calls. Studio's
enable-tools loop already heals these, but the client-tool passthrough
(unsloth run --disable-tools, unsloth start agents) relays them verbatim, so
the agent sees prose and the turn dies.
This module is the shared response-side repair layer the passthrough routes
will call: promote parsed text-form calls to structured calls, but only for
function names the client actually declared; coerce arguments through the same
canonical-key healing as the tool loop; never touch the upstream request body
(llama-server KV/slot reuse stays byte-identical). StreamToolCallHealer is the
streaming buffer-and-repair state machine: prose forwards immediately, only a
partial-signal tail or a suspected tool block is held, false alarms flush
verbatim, and a 64 KiB bound caps memory. nudge_should_retry/nudge_messages
support an opt-in single-retry nudge for non-streaming routes (wired later).
Kill-switch: UNSLOTH_DISABLE_TOOL_CALL_HEALING=1. Reuses
core/tool_healing.parse_tool_calls_from_text, strip_tool_call_markup, and
tool_loop_controller.coerce_tool_arguments unchanged.
* inference: heal text-form tool calls on the OpenAI and Responses passthrough
Wire the passthrough healing core into /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses,
default ON whenever the request declares client tools:
Non-streaming: heal_openai_message runs inside the existing response-mutation
loop; a promoted call flips finish_reason to tool_calls and nulls the content,
and the verbatim-bytes fast path still applies when nothing was healed.
/v1/responses non-streaming inherits this through openai_chat_completions.
Streaming: a StreamToolCallHealer per stream. Ordinary prose relays
byte-for-byte (a fast path keeps upstream bytes when the healer passes a chunk
through whole); once a tool signal appears, content is held, and at the
finish/[DONE] boundary either synthetic delta.tool_calls chunks replace the
markup (finish_reason rewritten to tool_calls, including the synthetic-finish
path) or a false alarm flushes the held text verbatim. Structured upstream
deltas put the healer to sleep after flushing anything held, so grammar-mode
responses stay byte-identical. The Responses stream feeds healed calls through
the same per-call state machinery as structured deltas (indexes live in a
disjoint range so a healed call can never merge into a structured call's
state), and the visible/reasoning split runs first so reasoning text is never
promoted. parallel_tool_calls=false caps healed calls on every path.
The upstream request body is never touched and healing issues no extra
generation, so llama-server slot/KV-cache reuse is unchanged. Opt-out per
request with auto_heal_tool_calls=false (Responses reads it from the
extra-body); requests without tools relay verbatim.
* inference: heal text-form tool calls on the Anthropic /v1/messages passthrough
Streaming: AnthropicPassthroughEmitter.enable_healing(allowed_tools) routes
content deltas through the shared StreamToolCallHealer. A promoted call closes
any open text block (only the safe prose prefix ever streamed into it), opens a
synthetic tool_use block with a fresh toolu_* id, carries one input_json_delta,
and closes; finish() then forces stop_reason to tool_use unless a truncation
(max_tokens) wins. Structured upstream deltas flush anything held and put the
healer to sleep, so grammar-mode responses are untouched, as is every stream
where enable_healing is never called (Studio's own loop, no-tools requests).
disable_parallel_tool_use caps healed calls too.
Non-streaming: the OpenAI message dict is healed BEFORE block building, so the
existing tool_use promotion loop and stop_reason line treat promoted calls
exactly like native ones (finish_reason length still maps to max_tokens). The
legacy tool-XML strip still runs on remaining text, so opted-out requests keep
today's cleanup behavior byte-for-byte.
auto_heal_tool_calls is now a typed field on AnthropicMessagesRequest
(default True, mirroring Chat Completions) and threads into both passthrough
calls. Healing never touches the upstream request body.
* inference: opt-in single-retry tool-call nudge on the non-streaming passthrough
When the model clearly tried to call a tool (a tool signal in the text) but
healing produced nothing usable, re-ask once: the retry body is the original
body plus an assistant turn (the model's own failed text) and a short user
nudge naming the declared tools. The prompt prefix stays byte-identical, so
llama-server reuses the slot's KV cache and only the two-message suffix is
prefilled. The retry replaces the original response only when it actually
yields a promotable or structured call; on any error or still-garbage output
the original response is returned unchanged. Exactly one retry, non-streaming
OpenAI and Anthropic passthroughs only (a stream has already emitted bytes).
OPT-IN per user decision: nudge_tool_calls=true per request (typed on both
ChatCompletionRequest and AnthropicMessagesRequest, lifted from the Responses
extra-body), or UNSLOTH_TOOL_CALL_NUDGE=1 to flip the process default.
auto_heal_tool_calls=false disables healing AND the nudge.
Also align the non-streaming heal on allow_incomplete=True: the response is
final, so a trailing unclosed tool block is a model failure worth repairing,
matching the enable-tools loop's drain semantics.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* inference: never assume the upstream response shape in the nudge helpers
llama-server error bodies can carry message: null (or no choices at all), and
_last_assistant_text / response_has_promotable_calls / nudge_should_retry
called .get() on the message without a dict check, so a malformed upstream
response raised an AttributeError the surrounding except tuples did not catch,
failing the request instead of degrading to 'nothing to heal'. Route the shape
probing through one _first_choice_message helper that returns None for any
non-dict message, and add a parametrized test over the malformed shapes.
* inference: constrain healing by tool_choice, preserve length finish_reason, keep healed event order in Responses streams
Three review findings on the passthrough healer:
- heal_gate now honors the request's tool_choice: "none" disables healing
outright and a forced function narrows the promotion allowlist to that
one function, so healing can never contradict the request's tool-choice
constraint. Wired through the OpenAI chat (stream and non-stream),
Responses, and Anthropic (converted shape) passthroughs.
- The OpenAI non-streaming heal only upgrades finish_reason "stop" to
"tool_calls"; a truncated generation keeps "length" (the healed call
stays attached) matching the streaming and Anthropic paths.
- The Responses stream emits healer events in order instead of collapsing
all text ahead of the healed calls, so text after a healed call no longer
jumps ahead of the function_call item and output indexes are claimed in
the order the model produced them.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* inference: all-or-nothing promotion when a response mixes declared and undeclared text-form calls
Promoting a subset used to strip ALL tool markup from the content, which
silently deleted the text of any call naming an undeclared tool. The heal
now declines entirely when any parsed call is unpromotable, so the whole
message relays verbatim (pre-PR behavior) and no bytes are ever lost. In
streaming, a declared call that completed before an undeclared one arrived
is already emitted; the late undeclared markup still flushes as raw text.
The nudge helpers mirror the same contract via a shared predicate.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* inference: span-exact healing, disjoint healed stream indexes, per-call Responses message items, allowlisted nudge acceptance
Four review findings on the passthrough healer:
- parse_tool_calls_from_text gains an optional with_spans return so healing
removes EXACTLY the promoted calls' markup. This supersedes the previous
all-or-nothing rule: declared calls promote and every unpromoted byte
(undeclared calls, unparseable closed blocks, suppressed alternate
formats such as a <function=...> block after a JSON call) relays as text.
The stream healer also processes one block per pass, so text between two
healed calls keeps its document position instead of trailing them.
- The OpenAI chat stream shifts native tool-call delta indexes past any
already-emitted healed calls; clients merge deltas by index, so a healed
call and a later native call can no longer merge into one.
- A healed call in the Responses stream closes the open message item and
trailing text opens a fresh one with a later output index, matching the
native stream shape; response.completed snapshots every message item
with its own text.
- The nudge retry only replaces the original response when the retry's
structured call names a DECLARED tool; a hallucinated undeclared call is
not an improvement.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: stop the heal path folding trailing prose into a closed function call
parse_tool_calls_from_text(allow_incomplete=True) cut a <function=...> body only
at an end-anchored </function>, so a fully closed call followed by trailing prose
(<function=..>..</parameter></function> words) folded </parameter></function> and
the prose into the tool argument and deleted the prose from visible content. The
strict path (allow_incomplete=False) already cut at the real </function> via rfind.
Do the same in both modes: trim the body at the real </function> when present and
end the removal span there, falling back to the end-anchored strip and body_end
only when the call is genuinely truncated. Add a regression test.
* inference: one shared single-call budget for healed and native calls
Codex round 5: the parallel-call caps counted healed and native calls
separately, so a healed text-form call followed by a native structured
delta double-emitted on all three streaming surfaces when the client
disabled parallel calls.
- OpenAI SSE: once a healed call went out with parallel_tool_calls
false, native tool_call deltas are dropped instead of index-shifted.
- Anthropic emitter: native deltas skip block allocation when the
healed-plus-native count already filled the single slot, and healed
emission counts open native states too.
- Responses stream: native deltas that survived the chunk-level cap are
skipped once a healed call claimed the slot.
Also adds a span assertion for the closed-</function> trailing-prose
parse fixed in the previous commit.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* studio: relay undeclared text-form calls as text on Anthropic non-streaming
heal_openai_message promotes only declared text-form tool calls and
span-trims just their markup, deliberately leaving every unpromoted byte
(undeclared text-form calls included) in the content to relay as text.
The Anthropic non-streaming builder then ran a blanket _TOOL_XML_RE strip
over that content unconditionally, deleting the undeclared block before
building the text part, so Anthropic clients silently lost a call the
OpenAI non-streaming path preserves. The strip was harmless when healing
was all-or-nothing but became data loss once healing turned span-exact.
Gate the legacy strip on whether healing promoted a call, matching the
OpenAI passthrough and the intent already stated in the comment above.
Add a route-level regression test for the mixed declared+undeclared case.
* inference: require fully declared nudge retries; keep unpromoted Anthropic text
Codex round 6, two findings:
- response_has_promotable_calls accepted a nudge retry when any one
structured call named a declared tool, so a mixed retry (hallucinated
undeclared call plus a declared one) replaced the original and the
caller forwarded the undeclared call, or with parallel_tool_calls
false could keep only it. All structured retry calls must be declared.
- The Anthropic non-streaming builder still ran the legacy _TOOL_XML_RE
strip after span-exact healing, deleting undeclared or malformed call
text that healing deliberately preserved. The legacy strip now runs
only when healing is off (no declared tools, or opted out), matching
the OpenAI passthrough.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* inference: keep unpromoted Anthropic text whenever healing is active
The previous commit skipped the legacy strip only when a call was
actually promoted, so an undeclared-only (or malformed-only) response
was still silently emptied: exactly the dead-turn shape this path
exists to fix, and inconsistent with the OpenAI passthrough, which
relays those bytes verbatim. Gate the strip on healing being active
instead; opt-out and no-tools requests keep the legacy strip.

Memory planning and dense-quant path: size a local diffusers base's
resident companions from its on-disk VAE and text-encoder weights instead
of folding them to zero, feed the distilled variant hint into the runtime
headroom estimate so turbo and schnell models are not over-reserved, place
group-offload companions resident before attaching the transformer hooks
so a failed placement falls back to whole-module offload instead of
crashing, and bail out of the dense transformer download before it starts
when the requested quant scheme is unsupported so the load falls back to
GGUF cleanly.
sd.cpp stack: scrub the native path lease secret from sd-cli child env,
redact native load-progress errors, forward the resolved accelerator when
auto-installing a forced-native binary, release stale diffusion GPU
ownership on CPU-native loads, and remove the sd.cpp install tree on
uninstall.
Prequant and scripts: reject prequant artifacts missing base_model_id
when a base is requested, expanduser before checkpoint existence checks,
record and validate the int8 exclusion filter and fp8 fast-accum in
checkpoint metadata, make verify_prequant_backend allowlist its local
checkpoint and fail on missing or bad LPIPS and on load-peak regressions,
average only finite PSNR values in diffusion_quality, and reset the
process-wide attention backend between perf probe variants.
API and UI: normalize attention_backend casing before Literal validation,
close hidden popovers when leaving the Images page, and clear the stale
quant label when loading a direct local GGUF file.
Backend:
- Sanitize a blank hf_token to None in begin_load and load_pipeline, so the
default empty Studio token loads anonymously instead of 401ing as an explicit
empty credential.
- Free the ACTIVE diffusion engine before LLM training and in the delete-cached
guard: on a native (sd_cpp) selection the diffusers singleton reports
unloaded, so training could start against a live sd-cli generation and
delete-cached could remove a GGUF the native engine is using. Both now go
through diffusion_engine_router.get_active_diffusion_engine().
- Refuse delete-cached while a background image load is downloading the repo
(or its companion base): status().loaded is False in that window, but the
delete would yank blobs from under the in-flight assembly. Both engines
expose the in-flight ids via a new loading_repo_ids().
- Cap request seeds at 2**53-1: seeds round-trip through JSON gallery recipes,
where JavaScript rounds larger integers, so a restored recipe generated a
different image. Random seeds were already masked to this range.
- Add the task field to CachedModelRepo: the handler sets it for cached
diffusers image repos but response_model silently dropped it, letting
image-only repos pass the chat picker's task gate.
Frontend:
- Offset sequential run seeds by the batch size: the native engine seeds image
j of a run at seed+j, so a +1 run offset regenerated the previous run's
batch-mates.
- Revert the optimistic quant selection when a load fails to start.
- Stop disabling the Images page on chat-only hosts: the native sd.cpp engine
exists exactly for the no-GPU route.
* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): fix int8 dense quant on Flux / Qwen (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The opt-in dense int8 transformer path crashed on Flux.1 and Qwen-Image with
'torch._int_mm: self.size(0) needs to be greater than 16, but got 1'. int8 dynamic quant
goes through torch._int_mm, which requires the activation row count M > 16. A DiT's AdaLN
modulation projections (Flux norm1.linear 3072->18432, Qwen img_mod.1 / txt_mod.1, Flux.2
*_modulation.linear) and its timestep / guidance / pooled-text conditioning embedders are
computed once from the [batch, dim] conditioning vector (M = batch = 1), not per token, so
they hit _int_mm at M=1 and crash. Their feature dims are large, so the existing
min_features filter did not exclude them.
Fix: the int8 filter now also skips any Linear whose fully-qualified name matches a
modulation / conditioning-embedder token (norm, _mod, modulation, timestep_embed,
guidance_embed, time_text_embed, pooled). These layers run at M=1 once per block and are a
negligible share of the FLOPs, so int8 keeps the full speedup on the attention / FFN layers
(M = sequence length). fp8 / nvfp4 / mxfp8 use scaled_mm, which has no M>16 limit and
quantises these layers fine, so the exclusion is int8-only. Sequence embedders
(context_embedder / x_embedder / txt_in, M = seq) are deliberately not excluded -- note
'context_embedder' contains the substring 'text_embed', which is why the token is the
specific 'time_text_embed', not 'text_embed'.
Measured on a B200 (1024px, transformer_quant=int8 + speed=default), int8 now runs on every
supported model and is the fastest dense path on Flux/Qwen (int8 runs full-rate vs fp8's
FP32-accumulate): FLUX.1-dev 9.62s eager -> 1.98s (4.86x, vs fp8 2.15s), Qwen-Image -> 1.87s
(5.57x, vs fp8 2.09s), FLUX.1-schnell -> 0.41s (3.59x). Z-Image and Flux.2-klein (already
working) are unchanged.
- diffusion_transformer_quant.py: add _INT8_EXCLUDE_NAME_TOKENS; make_filter_fn takes
exclude_name_tokens; quantize_transformer passes it for int8 only.
- hermetic test that the int8 filter excludes the modulation / embedder linears (and keeps
attention / FFN / sequence-embedder linears), while fp8 keeps them.
- scripts/int8_linear_probe.py: the meta-device probe used to enumerate each transformer's
Linear layers and derive the exclusion list.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 15): build int8 pre-quantized checkpoints (skip M=1 modulation linears)
The prequant-checkpoint builder applied the dense quant filter without the int8-only
M=1 modulation / conditioning-embedder exclusion the runtime path uses, so a built int8
checkpoint baked those projections as int8 and crashed (torch._int_mm needs M>16) at the
first denoise step on Flux / Qwen. Factor the scheme->exclusion decision into a shared
exclude_tokens_for_scheme() used by both the runtime quantise path and the offline builder
so they can never drift, and apply it in build_prequant_checkpoint.py. int8 prequant now
produces a working checkpoint on every supported model, giving int8 (the consumer-preferred
scheme) the same ~2x load-VRAM and download reduction fp8 already had.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 16): route no-GPU loads to the native sd.cpp engine
When no CUDA/ROCm/XPU GPU is available, route diffusion load/generate to the
native stable-diffusion.cpp engine instead of diffusers, with diffusers as the
guaranteed fallback. On CPU sd.cpp is 1.4-2.8x faster and uses 1.5-2.2x less RAM.
- diffusion_engine_router: centralised engine selection (built on the existing
select_diffusion_engine), env opt-outs, MPS gating, recorded fallback reason.
- sd_cpp_backend (SdCppDiffusionBackend): the diffusers backend method surface
backed by sd-cli, with lazy binary install, registry-driven asset fetch,
step-progress parsing, and cancellation.
- diffusion_families: per-family single-file VAE + text-encoder asset mapping.
- sd_cpp_engine: cancellation support (process-group kill + SdCppCancelled).
- routes/inference + gpu_arbiter: drive the active engine via the router; the
API now reports the active engine and any fallback reason.
- tests for the backend, router, route selection, and cancellation.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Phase 16 review fixes: engine-switch unload, sd.cpp error mapping, per-image seeds, Qwen sampler
Address review feedback on #6724:
- engine router: unload the engine being deactivated on a switch, so the old
model is not left resident-but-unreachable (the evictor only targets the active
engine).
- generate route: sd.cpp execution errors (nonzero exit / timeout / missing
output) now map to 500, not 409 (which only means not-loaded / cancelled).
- native batch: return per-image seeds and persist the actual seed for each image
so every batch image is reproducible.
- Qwen-Image native path: apply --sampling-method euler --flow-shift 3 per the
stable-diffusion.cpp docs; other families keep sd-cli defaults.
- honor speed_mode (native --diffusion-fa) and, off-CPU, memory_mode/cpu_offload
offload flags on the native load instead of hardcoding them off.
- fail the load when the sd-cli binary is present but not runnable (version()
now returns None on exec error / nonzero exit).
- size estimate: only treat the transformer asset as a possible local path.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14): guard the int8 exclusion filter against a None fqn
The filter callback can be invoked without a module name, so fqn.lower() would raise
AttributeError on None. Fall back to an empty name (nothing matches the exclusion tokens,
so the linear is kept) instead of crashing the quantise pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review fixes: native engine robustness
- sd_cpp_backend: stop truncating explicit seeds to 53 bits (mask to int64);
a large requested seed was silently collapsed (2**53 -> 0) and distinct seeds
aliased to the same image. Random seeds stay 53-bit (JS-safe).
- sd_cpp_backend: sanitize empty/whitespace hf_token to None so HfApi/hf_hub
fall back to anonymous instead of failing auth on a blank token.
- sd_cpp_backend: a superseding load now cancels the in-flight generation, so the
old sd-cli can no longer return/persist an image from the previous model.
- diffusion_engine_router: run the previous engine's unload() OUTSIDE the lock so a
slow 10+ GB free / CUDA sync does not block engine selection.
- diffusion_engine_router: probe sd-cli runnability (version()) before committing to
native, so a present-but-unrunnable binary falls back to diffusers at selection.
- diffusion_device: resolve a torch-free CPU target when torch is unavailable, so a
CPU-only install can still reach the native sd.cpp engine instead of failing load.
- tests updated for the runnability probe + a not-runnable fallback case.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: apply int8 M=1 exclusion in the builder
Codex review: the M=1 modulation/embedder exclusion was wired only into the dense
runtime quantiser; the offline builder scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py called
make_filter_fn(min_features) with no exclusion. So an int8 prequant checkpoint
quantised the AdaLN modulation and conditioning-embedder linears, and loading it
via transformer_prequant_path (the load path only loads already-quantised tensors,
it can't re-skip them) reintroduced the torch._int_mm M=1 crash this phase fixes
for the runtime path.
Extracted int8_exclude_name_tokens(scheme) as the single source of truth (int8 ->
the M=1 exclusion, every other scheme -> none) and use it in both the runtime
quantiser and the builder, so a prequant artifact's quantised-layer set always
matches the runtime. fp8/fp4/mx artifacts are byte-identical (empty exclusion).
Test: int8_exclude_name_tokens returns the exclusion for int8 and () for
fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 16) review round 2: native CPU arbiter, status offload, load race
Codex review on the native-engine routing:
- The /images/load route took the GPU arbiter (acquire_for(DIFFUSION) -> evict chat)
unconditionally after engine selection. A native sd.cpp load on a pure-CPU host
never touches the GPU, so that needlessly tore down the resident chat model. The
handoff is now gated: diffusers always takes it, a force-native sd.cpp load on a
CUDA/XPU/MPS box still takes it, but a native sd.cpp load on a CPU host skips it.
- sd_cpp status() hardcoded offload_policy 'none' / cpu_offload False even when
_run_load computed real offload flags (balanced/low_vram/cpu_offload off-CPU), so
the setting was unverifiable. status now derives them from state.offload_flags
(still 'none' on CPU, where the flags are empty).
- _run_load committed the new state without cancelling/waiting on a generation that
started during the (slow) asset download, so a stale sd-cli run against the OLD
model could finish afterward and persist an image from the previous model once the
new load reported ready. The commit now signals the in-flight cancel and waits on
_generate_lock before swapping _state (taken only at commit, so the download never
serialises against generation), mirroring the diffusers load path.
Tests: CPU native load skips the arbiter while a GPU native load takes it; status
reports offload active when flags are set; _run_load cancels and waits for an
in-flight generation before committing.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 14) review round 2: align helper name with the stack
Rename the int8 exclusion helper to exclude_tokens_for_scheme, matching the
identical helper already present higher in the diffusion stack (Phase 16). The
helper definition, the runtime quantiser call, and the offline builder are now
byte-identical to that version, so the two branches no longer introduce a
divergent name for the same single-source-of-truth and the stack merges without
a conflict on this fix. No behavior change.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): prefer int8 on consumer GPUs in the auto ladder
Consumer / workstation GPUs halve fp8 (and fp16/bf16) FP32-accumulate tensor-core
throughput, while int8 runs at full rate (int32 accumulate is not nerfed). Public
benchmarks (SDNQ across RTX 3090/4090/5090, AMD, Intel) confirm int8 via torch._int_mm
is as fast or faster than fp8 on every consumer part, and the only path on pre-Ada
consumer cards without fp8 tensor cores. So when transformer_quant=auto, reorder the
arch tier to put int8 first on a consumer/workstation GPU (detected by the existing
_is_consumer_gpu name heuristic), while data-center HBM parts keep fp8 first.
Pure ladder reorder via _prefer_consumer_scheme; no new flags. Verified non-regression
on a B200 (still picks fp8). Hermetic tests for consumer Blackwell/Ada/workstation
(-> int8) and data-center Ada/Hopper/Blackwell (-> fp8).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): First-Block-Cache step caching for many-step DiT
Add opt-in step caching (First-Block-Cache) for the diffusion transformer. Across
denoise steps a DiT's output settles, so once the first block's residual barely
changes the remaining blocks are skipped and their cached output reused. diffusers
ships it natively (FirstBlockCacheConfig + transformer.enable_cache, with the
standalone apply_first_block_cache hook as a fallback).
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
2.03s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output, well inside the quality bar.
OFF by default and a per-load opt-in: the win scales with step count, so it is for
many-step models (Flux / Qwen-Image) and pointless for few-step distilled models
(e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps), where a single skipped step is a large fraction
of the trajectory. It composes with regional compile only with fullgraph=False (the
cache's per-step decision is a torch.compiler.disable graph break), which the speed
layer now switches to automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: a model
whose block signature the hook does not recognise is caught and the load proceeds
uncached.
- new core/inference/diffusion_cache.py: normalize_transformer_cache + apply_step_cache
(enable_cache / apply_first_block_cache fallback; threshold auto-raised for a
quantised transformer per ParaAttention's fp8 guidance; lazy diffusers import).
- diffusion_speed.py: apply_speed_optims takes cache_active; compile drops fullgraph
when a cache is engaged.
- diffusion.py: apply_step_cache before compile; thread transformer_cache /
transformer_cache_threshold through begin_load -> load_pipeline and report the
engaged mode in status().
- models/inference.py + routes/inference.py: transformer_cache (off | fbcache) and
transformer_cache_threshold request fields, engaged mode in the status response.
- hermetic tests for normalisation, the enable_cache / hook-fallback paths, threshold
selection, and best-effort failure handling, plus route threading + validation.
- scripts/fbcache_flux_probe.py: the Flux validation probe (latency / speedup / VRAM /
LPIPS vs the compiled no-cache baseline).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 12): only engage FBCache on context-aware transformers; quantized threshold for GGUF
- apply_step_cache now engages only via the transformer's native enable_cache (the diffusers
CacheMixin path), which exists exactly when the pipeline wraps the transformer call in a
cache_context. The standalone apply_first_block_cache fallback installed on non-CacheMixin
transformers too (e.g. Z-Image), whose pipeline opens no cache_context, so the load reported
transformer_cache=fbcache and then the first generation crashed inside the hook. Such a model
now runs uncached per the best-effort contract.
- GGUF transformers are quantized (the default Studio load path), so they now use the higher
quantized FBCache threshold when the caller leaves it unset, instead of the dense default
that could keep the cache from triggering.
- fbcache_flux_probe.py: compile cached runs with fullgraph=False (FBCache is a graph break, so
fullgraph=True failed warmup and silently measured an eager cached run); output dir is now
relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11): keep professional RTX cards on the fp8 ladder
_is_consumer_gpu treated professional parts (RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, RTX 6000 Ada) as
consumer because their names carry no datacenter token, so the auto ladder moved int8 ahead
of fp8 and the fp8 path chose fast accumulate for them. The rest of the backend already
classifies these as datacenter/professional (llama_cpp.py _DATACENTER_GPU_RE), so detect the
same RTX PRO 6000 / RTX 6000 Ada markers here and keep fp8 first with precise accumulate.
Also fix the consumer-Blackwell test to use compute capability (10, 0) instead of (12, 0).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 11) review round 2: keep GH200/B300 on the fp8 ladder
Codex review: _DATACENTER_GPU_TOKENS omitted GH200 (Grace-Hopper) and B300
(Blackwell Ultra), though it has the distinct GB200/GB300 superchip tokens. So
_is_consumer_gpu returned True for 'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' / 'NVIDIA B300', and the
auto ladder moved int8 ahead of fp8 on those data-center parts -- contradicting
llama_cpp.py's datacenter regex, which lists both. Added GH200 and B300 so they
are treated as data-center class and keep the intended fp8-first behavior.
Test: extends the datacenter parametrize with 'NVIDIA B300' and
'NVIDIA GH200 480GB' (now _is_consumer_gpu False).

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): attention-backend selection
Add a selectable attention kernel via the diffusers set_attention_backend
dispatcher. Attention is memory-bandwidth bound, so a better kernel is an
end-to-end win orthogonal to the linear-weight quantisation (it speeds the QK/PV
matmuls torchao never touches) and composes with torch.compile.
auto picks the best exact backend for the device: cuDNN fused attention
(_native_cudnn) on NVIDIA when a speed profile is active, measured ~1.18x
end-to-end on a B200 (Z-Image 1024px/8 steps) with LPIPS ~0.004 vs the default
(below the compile/quant noise floor); native SDPA elsewhere and when speed=off
(so off stays bit-identical). Explicit native/cudnn/flash/flash3/flash4/sage/
xformers/aiter are honored, and an unavailable kernel falls back to the default
rather than failing the load.
New core/inference/diffusion_attention.py (normalize + per-device select + apply,
best-effort, lazy imports). Set on pipe.transformer BEFORE compile in load_pipeline;
attention_backend threads through begin_load / load_pipeline / status like the other
load knobs. New request field attention_backend + status field. Hermetic CPU tests
for normalize / select policy / apply fallback, plus route threading + 422. Measured
via scripts/perf_levers_probe.py.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10): reset the global attention backend on native, gate arch-specific kernels, accept sdpa
- apply_attention_backend now restores the native default when no backend is requested or a
kernel fails. diffusers keeps a process-wide active attention backend that
set_attention_backend updates, and a fresh transformer's processors follow it, so a load
that wanted native could silently inherit a backend (e.g. cuDNN) an earlier speed-profile
load pinned, breaking the bit-identical/off guarantee.
- select_attention_backend drops flash3/flash4 up front when the CUDA capability is below
Hopper/Blackwell. diffusers only checks the kernels package at set time, so an explicit
request on the wrong card set fine then crashed mid-generation; it now falls back to native.
- Add the sdpa alias to the attention_backend Literal so an API request with sdpa (already a
valid alias of native) is accepted instead of 422-rejected by Pydantic.
- Drop the dead replace('-','_') normalization (no alias uses dashes/underscores).
- perf_levers_probe.py output dir is now relative to the script, not a hardcoded path.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review fixes: attention gating + probe isolation
- diffusion_attention: gate the auto cuDNN-attention upgrade on SM80+; on pre-Ampere
NVIDIA (T4/V100) cuDNN fused SDPA is accepted at set time but fails at first generation,
so auto now stays on native SDPA there.
- diffusion_attention: _active_attention_backend handles get_active_backend() returning an
enum/None (not a tuple); the old unpack always raised and was swallowed, so
the native-restore short-circuit never fired.
- perf_levers_probe: free the resident pipe on a skipped (attn/fbcache) variant; run LPIPS
on CPU so it isn't charged to every variant's peak VRAM; reset force_fuse_int_mm_with_mul
so the inductor_flags variant doesn't leak into later compiled rows.
- tests for the SM80 cuDNN gate.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).
* Studio diffusion (Phase 10) review round 2: cudnn/flash3 gating + registry reset
Codex review on attention-backend selection:
- Explicit attention_backend=cudnn skipped the SM80 gate that auto applies, so on
pre-Ampere NVIDIA (T4 SM75 / V100 SM70) it set fine then crashed at the first
generation with no fallback. select_attention_backend now applies
_cudnn_attention_supported() to an explicit cuDNN request too.
- flash3 used a minimum-only capability gate (>= SM90), so an explicit flash3 on a
Blackwell B200 (SM100) passed and then failed at generation -- FlashAttention 3
is a Hopper-SM90 rewrite with no Blackwell kernel. The arch gate is now a
(min, max-exclusive) range: flash3 is SM9x-only, flash4 stays SM100+.
- apply_attention_backend's success path left diffusers' process-wide active
backend pinned to the kernel it set; a later component whose processors are
unconfigured (backend None) would inherit it. It now resets the global registry
to native after a successful per-transformer set (the transformer keeps its own
backend), best-effort. Also fixed _active_attention_backend: get_active_backend()
returns a (name, fn) tuple, so the prior code stringified the tuple and never
matched a name, defeating the native-restore short-circuit.
Tests: explicit cudnn dropped below SM80; flash3 dropped on SM100 and allowed on
SM90; global registry reset after a successful set; _active_attention_backend
reads the tuple return.

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): pre-quantized transformer loading
The Phase 8 fast transformer_quant path materialises the dense bf16 transformer on
the GPU and torchao-quantises it in place, so its load peak is ~2x GGUF's (~21 vs
13.4 GB) plus a ~12 GB download. Add a pre-quantized branch: quantise once offline
(scripts/build_prequant_checkpoint.py) and at runtime build the transformer skeleton
on the meta device (accelerate.init_empty_weights) and load_state_dict(assign=True)
the quantized weights, so the dense bf16 never touches the GPU.
Measured (B200, Z-Image fp8): full-pipeline GPU load peak 21.2 -> 14.6 GB (matching
GGUF's 13.4), on-disk 12 -> 6.28 GB, output bit-identical (LPIPS 0.0). It is the same
torchao config + min_features filter the runtime path uses, applied ahead of time.
New core/inference/diffusion_prequant.py (resolve_prequant_source +
load_prequantized_transformer, best-effort, lazy imports). diffusion.py
_load_dense_quant_pipeline tries the pre-quant source first and falls back to the
dense materialise+quantise path, then to GGUF, so the default is unchanged.
DiffusionLoadRequest gains transformer_prequant_path; DiffusionFamily gains an empty
prequant_repos map for hosted checkpoints (hosting deferred). Hermetic CPU tests for
the resolver, the meta-init+assign loader, and the backend branch selection +
fallbacks; GPU verification via scripts/verify_prequant_backend.py.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 9): gate request-supplied local prequant paths behind operator opt-in
load_prequantized_transformer ends in torch.load(weights_only=False), which executes
arbitrary code from the pickle. The transformer_prequant_path load-request field reached
that unpickle for any local file an authenticated caller named, so a request could trigger
remote code execution. Refuse the source.kind=='path' branch unless the operator sets
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1; the first-party hosted-repo checkpoint stays trusted
and unaffected. Document the requirement on the API field and add gate tests.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review fixes: prequant safety + validation
- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)
* Studio diffusion (Phase 9) review round 2: correct prequant allowlist doc
Codex review: the transformer_prequant_path field description still told operators
to enable local checkpoints with UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH=1, but the
prior security fix made that variable a directory allowlist -- _allowed_prequant_roots
deliberately drops bare on/off toggle tokens (1/true/yes/...). An operator
following the documented =1 would have every transformer_prequant_path request
silently refused. The description now states it must name one or more allowlisted
directories and that a bare on/off value is not accepted.
Test: asserts the field help references UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH, does
not say =1, and describes an allowlist/directory (guards against doc drift).

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 6): img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA / upscale on the native engine
Builds on Phase 4's native stable-diffusion.cpp engine, extending it from
text-to-image to the wider feature surface, since sd.cpp supports all of these
through the binary already. Pure command-builder additions plus one engine
method, so the txt2img path is unchanged.
- sd_cpp_args.py: SdCppGenParams gains image-conditioning fields. init_img +
strength make a run img2img, adding mask makes it inpaint, ref_images drives
FLUX-Kontext / Qwen-Image-Edit style editing (repeated --ref-image), and
lora_dir + the <lora:name:weight> prompt syntax select LoRAs. New
SdCppUpscaleParams + build_sd_cpp_upscale_command for the ESRGAN upscale run
mode (input image + esrgan model, no prompt / text encoders).
- sd_cpp_engine.py: the subprocess runner is factored into a shared _run() so
generate() (now carrying the conditioning flags) and a new upscale() reuse
the same streaming / error / output-check path.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: --task {txt2img,img2img,upscale} with --init-img /
--strength / --upscale-model / --upscale-repeats.
Tests: 10 new across the img2img / inpaint / edit / LoRA flag construction, the
upscale builder and its validation, and the engine's img2img + upscale paths.
Full diffusion suite 176 passing.
Verified on a B200 box through SdCppEngine: img2img (Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K, the
init image conditioned at strength 0.6, 4.8s) and ESRGAN upscale
(512x512 -> 2048x2048 via RealESRGAN_x4plus_anime_6B, 2.7s), both producing
coherent images. Video and the diffusers-path feature wiring are deferred.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): accuracy-preserving speed pass
Re-review of the diffusion stack (#6675/#6679/#6680) surfaced one real accuracy
bug and a dead-on-arrival speed path; this fixes both and adds the lossless /
near-lossless wins, all measured on a B200.
Correctness:
- TF32 global-state leak (fix). speed_mode=max flipped torch.backends.*.allow_tf32
process-wide and never restored them, so a later `off` load silently inherited
TF32 and was no longer bit-identical. Added snapshot_backend_flags /
restore_backend_flags (TF32 + cudnn.benchmark), captured before the speed layer
runs and restored on unload. Verified: load max -> unload -> load off is now
byte-identical (PSNR inf) to a fresh off.
- sd-cli timeout could hang forever. _run() blocked in `for line in stdout` and
only checked the timeout after EOF, so a child stuck in model load / GPU init
with no output ignored the timeout. Drained stdout on a reader thread with a
wall-clock deadline. Added a silent-hang regression test.
Speed (diffusers path), near-lossless, opt-in tiers:
- Regional torch.compile now runs on the GGUF transformer. The is_gguf gate (and
Z-Image's supports_torch_compile=False) were stale: compile_repeated_blocks
compiles and runs ~2.2x faster on the GGUF Z-Image transformer on
torch 2.9.1 / diffusers 0.38 (the per-op dequant stays eager, the rest of the
block compiles). Measured: off 1.80s -> default 0.82s/gen (+54.7%), PSNR 37.7 dB
vs eager -- far above the Q4 quant noise floor (~21 dB), so it does not move
output quality. Gate relaxed; default tier delivers it.
- cudnn.benchmark added to the default tier (autotunes the fixed-shape VAE convs).
- torch.inference_mode() around the pipeline call (lossless, strictly faster than
the no_grad diffusers uses internally).
Memory path:
- VAE tiling (not bit-identical >1MP) restricted to the model/sequential/CPU tiers;
the balanced (group) tier keeps exact slicing only, so it is now bit-identical to
the resident image (verified PSNR inf) and slightly faster.
- Group offload adds non_blocking + record_stream on the CUDA stream path to
overlap each block's H2D copy with compute (lossless; gated on the installed
diffusers signature so older versions still work).
Native (sd.cpp) path:
- native_speed_flags: a first-class speed knob (default -> --diffusion-fa, a
near-lossless CUDA win that was previously only added on offload tiers; max also
-> --diffusion-conv-direct). conv-direct stays opt-in: measured +45% on CUDA, so
it is never auto-on. Engine generate() merges it, de-duped against offload flags.
Default profile: a GGUF model with no explicit speed_mode now resolves to the
`default` profile (resolve_speed_mode), since compile's perturbation sits below the
quantisation noise floor and so does not reduce quality versus the dense reference;
out of the box a GGUF Z-Image generation drops from 1.80s to 0.81s. Dense models
stay `off` / bit-identical, and an explicit speed_mode -- including "off" -- is
always honored, so the byte-identical path remains one flag away and is the
regression reference.
Tooling: scripts/compile_probe.py (eager vs compiled GGUF probe), scripts/
perf_verify.py (the B200 verification above), and diffusion_bench.py gains
--speed-mode so the speed tiers are benchmarkable.
Tests: 183 passing (was 166); new coverage for the backend-flag snapshot/restore,
GGUF compile eligibility, the balanced tiling/slicing split, native_speed_flags +
the engine de-dup, and the sd-cli silent-hang timeout.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): max tier uses max-autotune-no-cudagraphs + engine/lever benchmarks
The opt-in `max` speed tier now compiles the repeated block with
mode=max-autotune-no-cudagraphs (dynamic=False) instead of the default mode:
Triton autotuning for GEMM/conv-heavier models, gated to the tier where a longer
cold compile is acceptable. CUDA-graph modes (reduce-overhead / max-autotune) are
deliberately avoided -- both crash on the regionally-compiled block (its static
output buffer is overwritten across denoise steps), measured.
Adds two reproducible benchmarks used to validate the optimization research:
- scripts/compare_engines.py: PyTorch (diffusers GGUF) vs native sd.cpp head-to-head.
- scripts/leverage_probe.py: coordinate_descent_tuning + FirstBlockCache probes.
Measured on B200 (Z-Image Q4_K_M, 1024px, 8 steps): default compile 0.80s/gen;
coordinate_descent_tuning 0.79s (within noise, already covered by max-autotune);
FirstBlockCache does not run on Z-Image (diffusers 0.38 block-detection / Dynamo).

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): opt-in fast transformer (torchao int8/fp8/fp4 on a dense source)
Add an opt-in transformer_quant mode that loads the dense bf16 transformer and
torchao-quantises it onto the low-precision tensor cores, instead of the GGUF
transformer (which dequantises to bf16 per matmul and so runs at bf16 rate). On a
B200 (Z-Image-Turbo, 1024px/8 steps): auto picks fp8 at 0.614s vs GGUF+compile's
0.823s (1.34x), int8 0.626s (1.32x), both at lower LPIPS than GGUF's own 4-bit floor.
GGUF+compile stays the low-memory default and the fallback. The mode is gated on
CUDA + bf16 + resident VRAM headroom (the dense load peaks ~21GB vs GGUF's 13GB);
any unsupported arch/scheme, OOM, or quant failure falls back to GGUF with a logged
reason. auto picks the best scheme per GPU via a real quantise+matmul smoke probe
(Blackwell nvfp4/fp8/mxfp8, Ada/Hopper fp8, Ampere int8); a min-features filter skips
the tiny projections that crash int8's torch._int_mm. New module mirrors
diffusion_precision.py; quant runs before compile before placement.
184 -> tests pass; new test_diffusion_transformer_quant.py plus backend/route
coverage. scripts/diffusion_bench.py gains --transformer-quant; scripts/quant_probe.py
is the standalone torchao lever probe.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): consumer-GPU tuning - lock fp8 fast accumulate, prefer fp8 over mxfp8, reject 2:4 sparsity
Consumer Blackwell halves tensor-core throughput on FP32 accumulate (fp8 419 vs 838
TFLOPS with FP16 accumulate; bf16 209), so:
- fp8 config locks use_fast_accum=True (Float8MMConfig). torchao already defaults it on;
pinning it guards consumer cards against a default change. On B200 it is identical
speed and slightly better quality (LPIPS 0.050 vs 0.091).
- the Blackwell auto ladder prefers fp8 over mxfp8 (measured faster + more accurate).
2:4 semi-structured sparsity evaluated and rejected (scripts/sparse_accum_probe.py):
2:4 magnitude-prune + fp8 gives LPIPS 0.858 (broken image) with no fine-tune, the
cuSPARSELt kernel errors on torch 2.9, and it does not compose with torch.compile
(our main ~2x). Documented as a dead end, not shipped.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add fp8 fast-accum overflow verification probe
scripts/fp8_overflow_check.py hooks every quantised linear during a real Z-Image
generation and reports max-abs + non-finite counts for use_fast_accum True vs False.
Confirms fast accumulation is an accumulation-precision knob, not an overflow one:
across 276 linears, including Z-Image's ~1.0e6 activation peaks (which overflow FP16),
0 non-finite elements and identical max-abs for both modes.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): detect consumer vs data-center GPU for fp8 accumulate, with user override
Consumer/workstation GPUs (GDDR) halve fp8 FP32-accumulate throughput, so they want
fast (FP16) accumulate; data-center HBM parts (B200/H100/A100/L40) are not nerfed and
prefer the higher-precision FP32 accumulate. Add _is_consumer_gpu() (token-exact match
on the device name per NVIDIA's GPU list, so workstation A4000 != data-center A40;
GeForce/TITAN and unknown default to consumer) and gate the fp8 use_fast_accum on it.
Measured: fast accumulate is ~2x on consumer Blackwell and ~8% on B200 (0.608 vs 0.665s),
no overflow, quality below the quant noise floor. So the default leans to accuracy on
data-center; a new request field transformer_quant_fast_accum (null=auto, true/false=force)
lets the operator override per load (scripts/diffusion_bench.py --fp8-fast-accum auto|on|off).
187 diffusion tests pass (+ consumer detection, _resolve_fast_accum, and the override
threading).

* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): add NVFP4 probe documenting it is not yet a win on torch 2.9
scripts/nvfp4_probe.py measures NVFP4 via torchao on the real Z-Image transformer.
Finding (B200, 1024px/8 steps): NVFP4 is a torchao feature and DOES run with
use_triton_kernel=False (the default triton path needs the missing MSLK library), but
only at bf16-compile rate (0.667s vs fp8 0.592s) -- it dequantises FP4->bf16 rather than
using the FP4 tensor cores. The real FP4 speedup needs MSLK or torch>=2.11 + torchao's
CUTLASS FP4 GEMM. The smoke probe (default triton=True) already keeps NVFP4 out of auto
on this env, so auto correctly stays on fp8; NVFP4 activates automatically once fast.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): prefer fp8 over nvfp4 in Blackwell auto ladder
Validated NVFP4 on torch 2.11 + torchao CUTLASS FP4 in an isolated env. The FP4
tensor-core GEMM is genuinely active there (a 16384^3 GEMM hits ~3826 TFLOPS,
2.52x bf16 and 1.37x fp8), but it only beats fp8 on very large GEMMs. At the
diffusion transformer's shapes (hidden ~3072, MLP ~12288, M~4096) NVFP4 is both
slower (0.81x fp8 end to end on Z-Image 1024px) and less accurate (LPIPS 0.166
vs fp8's 0.044). Reorder the Blackwell auto ladder to fp8 before nvfp4 so auto is
correct even on a future MSLK-equipped box; nvfp4 stays an explicit opt-in. Add
scripts/nvfp4_t211_probe.py (extension diagnostics + GEMM micro + end-to-end).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8): tolerate missing torch.float8_e4m3fn in the mxfp8 config
Accessing torch.float8_e4m3fn raises AttributeError on a torch build without it (not just
TypeError on older torchao), which would break the mxfp8 config helper instead of falling
back to the default. Catch both so the fallback is robust.
quant_probe.py: same AttributeError fallback; run LPIPS on CPU so the scorer never holds
CUDA memory during the per-row VRAM probe; output dir relative to the script.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7): robust backend-flag snapshot/restore and restore on failed speeded load
- snapshot_backend_flags reads each flag defensively (getattr + hasattr), so a build/platform
missing one (no cuda.matmul on CPU/MPS) still captures the rest instead of skipping the
whole snapshot. restore_backend_flags restores each flag independently so one failure can't
leave the others leaked process-wide.
- load_pipeline restores the flags (and clears the GPU cache) when the build fails after
apply_speed_optims mutated the process-wide flags but before _state captured them for unload
to restore -- otherwise a failed default/max load left cudnn.benchmark/TF32 on and
contaminated later off generations.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 7) review fixes: offload fallback + bench scripts
- diffusion_memory: when group offload is unavailable and the plan falls back to
whole-module offload, enable VAE tiling (the group plan left it off, but the fallback
is the low-VRAM path where the decode spike can OOM). Covers both the group and
sequential fallback branches.
- perf_verify: include the balanced-vs-off PSNR in the pass/fail condition, so a
balanced bit-identity regression actually fails the check instead of exiting 0.
- compare_engines: --vae/--llm default to None (were author-absolute /mnt paths), and
the load-progress poll has a 30 min deadline instead of looping forever on a hang.
- test for the group->model fallback enabling VAE tiling.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 8) review fixes: quant compile + nvfp4 path
- diffusion: a torchao-quantized transformer is committed only compiled. A dense model
resolves to speed_mode=off, which would run the quant eager (~30x slower than the GGUF
it replaced), so when transformer_quant engaged and speed resolved to off, promote to
default (regional compile); warn loudly if compile still does not engage.
- diffusion_transformer_quant: build the nvfp4 config with use_triton_kernel=False so the
CUTLASS FP4 path is used (torchao defaults to the Triton kernel, which needs MSLK);
otherwise the smoke probe fails on CUTLASS-only Blackwell and silently drops to GGUF.
- nvfp4_probe: repo-relative output dir + --out-dir (was an author-absolute /mnt path).
- test asserts the eager-quant -> default-compile promotion.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit

extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review round 2: collect sd-cli batch outputs
Codex review: when batch_count > 1, stable-diffusion.cpp's save_results() writes
the numbered files <stem>_<idx><suffix> (base_0.png, base_1.png, ...) instead of
the literal --output path. SdCppEngine.generate checked only the literal path, so
a batch generation would exit 0 and then raise 'no image' (or return a stale
file). generate now returns the literal path when present and otherwise falls
back to the numbered siblings; single-image behavior is unchanged.
Test: a fake sd-cli that writes img_0.png/img_1.png (not img.png) is collected
without error.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 6) review round 2: img2img source dims + upscale repeats
Codex review on the native engine arg builder:
- build_sd_cpp_command emitted --width/--height unconditionally, so an
img2img/inpaint/edit run that left dims unset forced a 1024x1024 resize/crop of
the input. width/height are now Optional (None = unset): an image-conditioned
run (init_img or ref_images) with unset dims omits the flags so sd.cpp derives
the size from the input image (set_width_and_height_if_unset); a plain txt2img
run with unset dims keeps the prior 1024x1024 default; explicit dims are always
honored. width/height are read only by the builder, so the type change is local.
- build_sd_cpp_upscale_command used a truthiness guard (params.repeats and ...)
that silently swallowed repeats=0 into sd-cli's default of one pass, turning an
explicit no-op into a real upscale. It now rejects repeats < 1 with ValueError
and emits the flag for any explicit value != 1.
Tests: img2img unset dims omit width/height (init_img and ref_images), explicit
dims emitted, txt2img keeps 1024; upscale rejects repeats=0 and omits the flag at
the default. (Two pre-existing binary-discovery tests fail only because a real
sd-cli is installed in this dev environment; unrelated to this change.)

* Studio diffusion: cross-platform device policy, fp16 guard, lock split, validate-before-evict
Phase 1 of porting the richer diffusion stack onto the image-generation backend.
- Add a compartmentalized device/dtype policy module (diffusion_device.py)
resolving CUDA/ROCm/XPU/MPS/CPU with capability flags. Keeps the NVIDIA
capability-based bf16 choice; ROCm and XPU are isolated; MPS uses bf16 or
fp32, never a silent fp16 that renders a black image.
- Add a per-family fp16_incompatible flag (Z-Image) and promote a resolved
float16 to float32 for those families so they do not produce black images.
- Split the backend locks: a generation holds only _generate_lock, so status,
unload, and a new load are never blocked by a long denoise. Add per-generation
cancellation via callback_on_step_end so an eviction or a superseding load
preempts a running generation; a replacement load waits for it to stop before
allocating, so two pipelines never sit in VRAM at once.
- Validate a load request before the GPU handoff so an unloadable pick never
evicts a working chat model, and reject missing local paths up front.
- Add CPU-only tests for the device policy, dtype guard, lock split and
cancellation, and validate-before-evict, plus a GPU benchmark/regression
script (scripts/diffusion_bench.py) measuring latency, peak VRAM, and PSNR
against a saved reference.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2A): measured-budget memory planner + offload/VAE policy
Add a lean, backend-agnostic memory policy that picks a CPU-offload policy and
VAE tiling/slicing from measured free device memory vs the model's estimated
resident footprint, then applies it to the built pipeline. auto stays resident
when the model fits (byte-identical to the prior resident path), and falls to
whole-module offload when tight; fast/balanced/low_vram are explicit overrides.
Sequential submodule offload is unreliable for GGUF transformers on diffusers
0.38, so it falls back to whole-module offload and status reports the policy
actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K_M (B200): auto reproduces the resident image with
no VRAM/latency regression (PSNR inf); balanced/low_vram cut generation peak VRAM
47.9% (15951 -> 8318 MB) with byte-identical output, at the expected latency cost.
73 prior + 35 new CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2D): streamed block-level offload + functional VAE tiling
Add a streamed 'group' offload tier (diffusers apply_group_offloading, block_level,
use_stream) that keeps the transformer flowing through the GPU a few blocks at a
time while the text encoder / VAE stay resident, and fix VAE tiling to drive the
VAE submodule (pipelines like Z-Image expose enable_tiling on pipe.vae, not the
pipeline). apply_memory_plan now returns the (policy, tiling) actually engaged so
status never overstates either, and group falls back to whole-module offload when
the transformer can't be streamed.
Measured on Z-Image (B200), all lossless (PSNR inf vs resident): balanced/group
cuts generation peak VRAM 32% (15951 -> 10840 MB) at near-resident speed (2.07 ->
2.99s); low_vram/model cuts it 48% (-> 8318 MB) but is slower (7.99s). Mode names
now match that tradeoff: balanced = stream the transformer, low_vram = offload
every component. auto picks group when the companions fit resident, else model.
112 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 5): image quality-vs-quant accuracy harness
Add scripts/diffusion_quality.py, the accuracy analogue of the KLD workflow: hold
prompt + seed fixed, render a grid with a reference quant (default BF16), then render
each candidate quant and measure drift from the reference. Records mean PSNR + SSIM
(pure-numpy, no skimage/scipy) and optional CLIP text-alignment + image-similarity
(transformers, --clip), plus file size, latency, and peak VRAM, then prints a
quality-vs-cost table and recommends the smallest quant within a quality budget.
--selftest validates the metrics on synthetic images with no GPU or model.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): the table degrades monotonically with quant size
(Q8 -> Q4 -> Q2: PSNR 21.7 -> 15.5, SSIM 0.82 -> 0.61), while CLIP-text stays flat
(~0.34) -- quantization erodes fine detail far more than prompt adherence.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 3): opt-in speed layer (channels_last / compile / TF32)
Add a speed_mode knob (off by default, so the render path stays bit-identical):
default applies channels_last VAE + regional torch.compile of the denoiser's
repeated block where eligible; max also enables TF32 matmul and fused QKV. Regional
compile is gated off for the GGUF transformer (dequantises per-op) and for families
flagged not compile-friendly (a new supports_torch_compile flag, False for Z-Image),
so it activates automatically only once a non-GGUF bf16 transformer is loaded. Speed
optims run before placement/offload, per the diffusers composition order. status now
reports speed_mode + the optims actually engaged.
Verified on Z-Image (B200): default -> ['channels_last'], max -> ['channels_last',
'tf32'], compile correctly skipped for GGUF; generation works in every mode.
121 CPU tests pass.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2B): opt-in fp8 text-encoder layerwise casting
Add a text_encoder_fp8 knob that casts the companion text encoder(s) to fp8 (e4m3)
storage via diffusers apply_layerwise_casting, upcasting per layer to the bf16
compute dtype while normalisations and embeddings stay full precision. Applied
before placement, gated to CUDA + bf16, best-effort (a failure leaves the encoder
dense). status reports which encoders were cast.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group mode where the encoder stays resident):
generation peak VRAM dropped 37% (10840 -> 6791 MB, below the lowest-VRAM offload)
at near-resident speed. It is a memory-vs-quality tradeoff, not free -- ~20 dB PSNR
vs the bf16 encoder, a larger shift than one transformer quant step -- so it is off
by default and documented as such, with the Phase 5 harness to size the cost.
127 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 2C): NVFP4 text-encoder quant (+ generalise fp8 knob)
Generalise the text-encoder precision knob from a fp8 bool to text_encoder_quant
(fp8 | nvfp4). nvfp4 quantises the companion text encoder to 4-bit via torchao
NVFP4 weight-only (two-level microscaling) on Blackwell's FP4 tensor cores; fp8
stays the broader-hardware path (cc>=8.9). Both are gated, best-effort, and run
before placement; status reports the mode actually engaged. This is the lean
realisation of GGUF-native text-encoder quant: 4-bit on the encoder without the
3045-line port.
Verified on Z-Image (B200, balanced/group where the encoder stays resident), vs the
bf16 encoder: nvfp4 cut generation peak VRAM 48% (10840 -> 5593 MB, the lowest TE
option, below whole-model offload) at near-fp8 quality (16.4 vs 17.1 dB PSNR), and
both quants ran faster than bf16. A memory-vs-quality tradeoff (off by default);
size it per model with the Phase 5 quality harness. diffusion_bench gains
--text-encoder-quant.
129 CPU tests pass.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): native stable-diffusion.cpp engine for CPU/Mac
Adds the CPU / Apple-Silicon tier of the two-engine strategy, mirroring the
chat backend's llama.cpp shell-out. Diffusers stays the default on CUDA / ROCm
/ XPU; this covers the hardware diffusers serves poorly, consuming the same
split GGUF assets Studio already curates.
- sd_cpp_args.py: pure sd-cli command builder. Maps the family to its
text-encoder flag (Z-Image Qwen3 to --llm, Qwen-Image to --qwen2vl, FLUX.1
CLIP-L + T5), and the diffusers memory policy (none/group/model/sequential)
to sd.cpp's offload flags (--offload-to-cpu / --clip-on-cpu / --vae-on-cpu /
--vae-tiling / --diffusion-fa), so one user knob drives both engines.
- sd_cpp_engine.py: SdCppEngine over a located sd-cli. find_sd_cpp_binary()
with the same precedence as the llama finder (env override, then the Studio
install root, then in-tree, then PATH), an is_available/version probe, and a
one-shot subprocess generate that streams progress and returns the PNG.
runtime_env() prepends the binary's directory to the platform library path
so a prebuilt's bundled libstable-diffusion.so resolves.
select_diffusion_engine() is the pure routing decision (GPU backends to
diffusers, CPU/MPS to native when present).
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt.py: resolve + download the per-host prebuilt
(macOS-arm64/Metal, Linux x86_64 CPU, Vulkan/ROCm/Windows variants) into the
Studio install root. resolve_release_asset() is a pure, unit-tested
host-to-asset matrix.
- scripts/sd_cpp_smoke.py: end-to-end native generation harness.
Tests (CPU-only, subprocess/filesystem stubbed): 49 new across args, engine,
routing, runtime env, and the installer resolver. Full diffusion suite 166
passing.
Verified on a B200 box: built sd-cli (CUDA) and the prebuilt (CPU) both
generate Z-Image-Turbo Q4_K end to end through SdCppEngine: balanced (group
offload, 5.0s gen), low_vram (full CPU offload + VAE tiling, 13.4s), and the
dynamically-linked CPU prebuilt (50.4s on CPU), all producing coherent images.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4): enforce the sd-cli timeout while reading output
Iterating proc.stdout directly blocks until the stream closes, so a sd-cli that hangs
without producing output (or without closing stdout) would never reach proc.wait and the
wall-clock timeout was silently bypassed. Drain stdout on a daemon thread and wait on the
PROCESS, so the main thread always enforces the timeout and kills a hung process (which
closes the pipe and ends the reader). Add a test that times out even when stdout blocks,
and make the no-binary test hermetic so a host-installed sd-cli can't leak in.
* Studio diffusion (Phase 4) review fixes: sd.cpp installer + engine hardening
- install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: download the release archive with urlopen + an explicit
timeout + copyfileobj (urlretrieve has no timeout and hangs on a stalled socket);
extract through a per-member containment check (Zip-Slip guard); expanduser the
--install-dir so a tilde path is not taken literally; and on Windows CUDA also fetch
the separately-published cudart runtime DLL archive so sd-cli.exe can start.
- sd_cpp_engine: find_sd_cpp_binary honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME like the
installer, so a custom-root install is discovered without UNSLOTH_SD_CPP_PATH; start
sd-cli with the parent-death child_popen_kwargs so it is not orphaned on a backend
crash; reap the SIGKILLed child (proc.wait) so a cancel/timeout does not leave a zombie.
- tests: Zip-Slip rejection, normal extraction, studio-home discovery.

across all cached revisions, so a repo that was already updated (and still
holds the old snapshot alongside the new one) is not falsely flagged.
The Update action re-downloads through the download manager so it shows in
the Downloads panel with progress and cancel. The frontend wires the Update
button into the GGUF, on-device, and model-selector cards and keeps the
quant label fully visible when the action buttons crowd the row.

* Studio: wire imatrix GGUF option and FP8/NVFP4 compressed export into the export UI
GGUF export gains an importance-matrix toggle. When enabled it auto-downloads the
upstream Unsloth imatrix for the base model (or uses a custom path), which unlocks
the IQ low-bit quants iq2_xxs, iq2_m, iq3_xxs and iq4_xs. Merged export gains an
FP8 / NVFP4 compressed-tensors precision selector that runs llm-compressor for vLLM.
Backend threads imatrix_file through routes -> orchestrator -> worker -> export_gguf
(both the local save and the hub push), and maps the new compressed format_type
values onto the fp8/nvfp4 save_method, reporting the "<dir>-<suffix>" sibling output
directory. Frontend adds the imatrix Switch on the GGUF card and a merged precision
picker on the merged card, threaded through the export runtime store.
Depends on unslothai/unsloth#6706 (save.py imatrix_file and compressed-tensors
export) and unslothai/unsloth-zoo#839 (quantize_gguf imatrix flag).
* Studio export: guard imatrix/compressed against older unsloth builds and force imatrix for IQ quants
Addresses review feedback on the export wiring:
- GGUF: pass imatrix_file only when set, so a plain no-imatrix export (e.g. Q4_K_M) no
longer fails with an unexpected-keyword error against an unsloth build that predates the
imatrix_file parameter. When imatrix is requested but unsupported, return a clear
upgrade message instead of a TypeError.
- Merged: gate FP8/NVFP4 compressed-tensors export on the installed unsloth actually
supporting it, returning a clear message rather than a cryptic save_method failure.
- Frontend: IQ quants (iq2_xxs, iq2_m, iq3_xxs, iq4_xs) are imatrix-only, so force the
imatrix on when one is selected and lock the toggle, instead of submitting an IQ quant
with no imatrix that llama.cpp would reject.
Extends the backend tests for the new capability guards and the conditional kwarg wiring.
* Studio: upload compressed merged models to the Hub without recompressing
For an FP8/NVFP4 Hub export the model is already produced locally in the "<dir>-<suffix>"
output. Uploading it directly with HfApi.upload_folder (mirroring export_base_model) avoids
re-running the expensive compressed-tensors quantization a second time inside
push_to_hub_merged, which for NVFP4 also re-runs calibration and risks OOM. Falls back to
push_to_hub_merged when there is no local compressed output to reuse.

* Studio: require signed capability tokens for /p preview links
The public /p preview routes added in #6486 run model load and chat
generation as the admin user with no authentication. The only gate is the
preview ref, a deterministic outputs-root path (run or run/checkpoint) that
is guessable rather than secret. On a network-reachable Studio (--secure
tunnel or -H 0.0.0.0), an unauthenticated caller who guesses a ref can
consume GPU and probe a private fine-tuned checkpoint.
Make the share link an unguessable, revocable capability:
- Sign the canonical ref with a dedicated server-side secret (HMAC-SHA256,
stored in app_secrets, independent of the JWT/login secret).
- Require a valid token on every /p chat, models, and page request before
resolving a checkpoint or loading a model; missing or invalid tokens get a
generic 404 so the surface never confirms a ref exists.
- Accept the token via ?k= (browser link and preview page) or
Authorization: Bearer (OpenAI-compatible clients).
- Rotate the secret to revoke every outstanding link
(POST /api/settings/preview-links/rotate).
- Clamp preview generation (max_tokens/max_completion_tokens <= 1024, n = 1)
and set Referrer-Policy: no-referrer on the page so the token is not
leaked via Referer.
Training history hands the authenticated owner the signed token, and the
copy-link button builds /p/{ref}?k={sig}.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: honor a lower caller token limit in the preview clamp
Codex review: when only the legacy max_tokens was sent, the clamp left
max_completion_tokens at the 1024 default, and _effective_max_tokens prefers
max_completion_tokens, so a request like max_tokens=16 could still generate up
to 1024 tokens. Derive one effective limit (max_completion_tokens wins, else the
legacy max_tokens) and pin both fields to it so a caller's lower limit is kept.
* Studio: add preview kill switch, rate limit, and revoke-links UI
Follow-ups to the /p preview capability work:
- Public-sharing kill switch: a persisted setting (default on) gates the public
/p surface. When off, every preview request 404s even with a valid token, and
the owner UI stops offering share links. GET/PUT /api/settings/preview-sharing;
enforced in _verify_or_404.
- Per-IP rate limit on the preview chat route: a coarse in-process sliding-window
limiter (20 req/min/IP) returns 429 + Retry-After before the GPU lock is taken.
Client IP honors X-Forwarded-For only when UNSLOTH_STUDIO_TRUST_FORWARDED is
set, matching the login limiter's trust model.
- Settings UI: a "Preview sharing" section with the public-sharing toggle and a
"Revoke all preview links" button (confirm dialog) that rotates the secret.
Tests cover the kill switch (404 when off), the 429 path, the sliding window,
client-IP trust behavior, and the setting default.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: fix preview-fields sharing arg and refresh sigs after revoke
Codex review:
- P1: get_training_run_detail and update_training_run called _preview_fields
with only output_dir after it gained a required sharing_on parameter, raising
a 500 TypeError once get_run succeeded. Pass get_preview_sharing_enabled() at
both sites; add a detail-endpoint regression test.
- P2: after rotating the preview secret from settings, the history grid still
held stale preview_sig values, so a freshly copied link would 404. Emit
emitTrainingRunsChanged() after a successful revoke so the grid refetches
freshly signed refs.
* Studio: harden preview sharing controls (Codex review)
- Fail closed: a read failure on the preview-sharing kill switch now returns
False instead of defaulting to enabled, so an unavailable settings DB can't
reopen the public surface. A missing key still defaults to enabled.
- Per-IP rate limit behind the managed Cloudflare tunnel: client_ip now honors
CF-Connecting-IP when the socket peer is loopback, so tunneled visitors are
keyed by their real IP instead of collapsing onto the local cloudflared peer.
- GET /p no longer mints key/share_url when sharing is disabled; it returns
sharing_enabled=false so clients don't distribute links that 404.
- Settings UI: toggling public sharing emits the training-runs-changed event so
the history grid shows/hides Copy preview link without a manual refresh.

* Studio: harden preview rate limiter and IP keying (Opus review)
From a two-agent review of the PR:
- Rate limiter no longer evicts an active bucket when the table is full: a flood
of distinct keys could otherwise cycle out a throttled bucket and reset its
counter. Evict only aged-out buckets; if the table is full of live clients,
fail closed (deny the new key) instead.
- client_ip keys on the rightmost (proxy-appended) X-Forwarded-For hop when the
trust env is set; the leftmost is client-spoofable. Documented the
append/overwrite-proxy assumption.
- _verify_or_404 checks the capability token before the kill-switch DB read, so
unauthenticated /p spam can't be used as an unbounded settings-DB sink and the
response is identical regardless of the sharing on/off state.
Tests: nested run/checkpoint happy path + wrong-ref rejection, the eviction
fail-closed behavior, and route-level coverage for the rotate / preview-sharing
settings endpoints.

* Studio preview: pin adapter, guard streaming submit, robust copy-link
Harden the public per-checkpoint preview surface:
- Pin use_adapter=True in the preview payload sanitizer. Otherwise an
unauthenticated /p caller can POST use_adapter=false, which calls
disable_adapter_layers() on the shared in-memory model without restoring
it; since load_model skips reloads for the same checkpoint, every later
visitor (the page never sends the field) keeps getting base-model output
instead of the fine-tuned checkpoint. Forcing it on also re-enables a
previously disabled adapter and no-ops on merged checkpoints.
- Ignore preview-page submits while a response is streaming. The send
button was disabled but the Enter handler still called requestSubmit(),
so a second request could start before the first reply landed in msgs and
reorder the chat history. Both the keydown and submit handlers now honor
the disabled button.
- Keep the cloudflare-URL polling loop alive across transient startup fetch
errors instead of letting one rejection halt it.
- Build the copy-link from a backend preview_ref (output dir relative to
outputs_root, gated on previewability and the two-segment /p route limit)
so a nested output dir no longer copies a basename-only link that 404s.
Expose preview_ref on training run summaries.
Add route-level security tests (path traversal, payload sanitization,
asset containment, CSP header, HTML title escaping, streaming lock held
until drained) and preview_ref unit tests.

* Studio preview: Safari-safe submit and adapter pin only for LoRA
Follow-ups from cross-browser and route simulations:
- Preview page: send the message from a shared send() helper called by both
the form submit and the Enter key, instead of form.requestSubmit(). The
latter throws on Safari < 16 and older iOS, which broke Enter-to-send there.
Verified across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with Playwright.
- Only pin use_adapter=True when the resolved checkpoint is a LoRA adapter
(adapter_config.json present); for a merged checkpoint strip it to None.
A merged model has no adapter to toggle, so forcing it on only produced a
per-request "not a PeftModel" warning. The cross-request base-model
contamination fix still holds for LoRA previews.
Add a merged-checkpoint test asserting use_adapter is stripped to None.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Studio preview: trim verbose comments
Tighten comments across the preview routes, page, checkpoint helpers, and tests
to short single-line notes; drop ones that just restate the code. No behavior
change (verified comment/docstring-only with comment_tools.py check).
* Harden preview routes for PR #6486
- Return a generic 400 detail on a rejected preview path so the public /p
route never echoes the absolute install path (the real reason is logged
server-side instead).
- Strip confirm_tool_calls, session_id and rag_scope in the preview payload
sanitizer so the public surface stays inert regardless of the tool gate.
- Use Path.is_relative_to for the asset containment check, matching the rest
of the codebase.
- Add img-src 'self' and font-src 'self' to the preview page CSP.
- Preview page: on a mid-stream error keep the streamed text, flag the break,
and restore the prompt so the user can retry; drop the unused --font-sans var.

* Gemma 4: parse bare-string tool args and keep safetensors tools for native <|tool_call>
- Quote bare unquoted string values in Gemma native tool-call args (e.g.
{location:Tokyo,unit:celsius}) so they parse; JSON scalars stay typed.
- Stop _detect_safetensors_features from suppressing supports_tools for
templates that emit Gemma native <|tool_call>, which the shared parser
now reads.
- Add tests for both.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden Gemma tool-call parsing and stream-error detection
Address three issues in the Gemma-native tool-call path:
- _quote_gemma_object_keys stopped a bare (unquoted) string value at the
first comma, so an argument like `location:New York, NY` was split
mid-value and the synthesized JSON failed to parse, dropping the whole
tool call. A bare value now ends only at `}` or a comma that begins the
next `key:` pair.
- parse_tool_calls_from_text scanned the entire response for Gemma markers
even inside a tool call already parsed from a `<tool_call>{...}` JSON
block, so a marker-like string inside an argument (data) was promoted to
a second, unintended tool call. Matches inside an already-consumed call
span are now skipped.
- _openai_passthrough_stream relied on _monitor_openai_sse_line to flag a
stream error, which returns early when monitor_id is None
(skip_api_monitor), so an upstream error chunk left saw_stream_error
unset and the synthetic-finish guard emitted a successful finish_reason
after a failed stream. Error chunks are now detected independently of API
monitoring.
Adds tests/test_gemma_tool_parse_edge_cases.py covering the comma and
marker-injection cases.
* Emit the terminal finish_reason chunk in GGUF streams
The OpenAI chat-completions GGUF tool stream and plain stream both built a
final ChatCompletionChunk carrying finish_reason but never yielded it, so
clients received the optional usage chunk and [DONE] with no chunk carrying
finish_reason. OpenAI-compatible consumers rely on that terminal choice to
distinguish stop/length/tool_calls. Yield it before the usage chunk and
[DONE], matching the other streaming paths.
* Parse tool calls in document order and skip nested markers both ways
Unify the JSON- and Gemma-format tool-call passes into a single
position-ordered scan:
- Calls are now emitted in byte order across both formats, so a mixed
output like `<|tool_call>call:create{...}<tool_call|> ... <tool_call>
{"name":"read",...}</tool_call>` executes create before read, matching
the order they appear in (tools run in returned order).
- A candidate that starts inside an already-accepted call's span is
skipped, in both directions: a JSON marker inside a Gemma argument and a
Gemma marker inside a JSON argument are treated as data, not promoted to
a second executable tool call.
Extends tests/test_gemma_tool_parse_edge_cases.py with the ordering and
JSON-in-Gemma nesting cases.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Quote bare Gemma array elements; order finish before trailing usage
- _quote_gemma_object_keys skipped array values, so a Gemma call with a
bare-string array argument like labels:[bug,ui] produced invalid JSON and
the whole tool call was dropped. Array values are now scanned and bare
string elements quoted, while numbers, quoted strings, and JSON literals
are preserved.
- In the OpenAI passthrough stream, a trailing usage-only chunk
(stream_options.include_usage) that arrived before any finish chunk was
relayed before the synthetic finish, producing usage -> finish -> [DONE].
Emit the synthetic finish before that usage chunk so the order matches the
other streams (finish -> usage -> [DONE]).
Extends tests/test_gemma_tool_parse_edge_cases.py with the bare-array cases.
* Harden Gemma array parsing, XML-parameter guard, and stream teardown
Address five review findings on the Gemma tool-call and OpenAI passthrough
streaming paths:
- parse_tool_calls_from_text collected JSON and Gemma markers without the
_inside_open_parameter guard, so a marker embedded in an existing
<function=...><parameter=...> value was promoted to a separate tool call.
Candidates that start inside an open XML parameter are now skipped, matching
the guard the XML-style parser already applies.
- _quote_gemma_array_elements preserved array elements starting with { or [
verbatim, so an array of objects (items:[{path:a}]) or a nested array failed
json.loads and the whole call was dropped. Object and nested-array elements
are now normalised recursively.
- _openai_passthrough_stream synthesized a finish chunk before a trailing
usage-only chunk and set saw_finish_reason, which made the EOF guard skip the
[DONE] sentinel. The EOF path now emits [DONE] whenever the upstream omitted
it, even after a finish chunk was already synthesized.
- /generate/stream drove generation through asyncio.to_thread with no
disconnect watcher, so a client disconnect during a long generation went
unnoticed until the next send. It now runs _await_disconnect_then_cancel
against the request, matching the other local streaming endpoints.
- _SameTaskStreamingResponse closed the body iterator with aclose() on a
send-side disconnect, raising GeneratorExit so the generators' cancellation
handlers (which finish the api_monitor entry) never ran. It now throws
CancelledError, falling back to aclose() when athrow is unavailable.
Extends tests/test_gemma_tool_parse_edge_cases.py with array-of-objects,
nested-array, and marker-inside-XML-parameter cases.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Watch disconnects on Anthropic streams; keep timestamps in Gemma values
Two follow-ups on the streaming and tool-parse paths:
- _anthropic_tool_stream and _anthropic_plain_stream drove generation through
asyncio.to_thread(next, gen, ...) and only polled is_disconnected() between
events, so a client disconnect during prefill or a long generation/tool step
held the decode slot until the next event or a failed send. Both now run the
_await_disconnect_then_cancel watcher used by the other local streams, stop it
in finally, and break promptly when cancel_event is set.
- _GEMMA_NEXT_KEY_RE treated any comma followed by word-chars-then-colon as the
next key, so a bare value such as "meet at 10:00, 11:00 tomorrow" was split
into bogus keys. The next-key token must now be identifier-shaped (start with
a letter or underscore), so a comma before a timestamp, ratio, or other
numeric-then-colon text stays part of the value.
Adds a timestamp-in-bare-value regression test.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Guard nested markers, reset on disconnect, clean unstarted streams
Three follow-ups on the tool-parse and streaming paths:
- parse_tool_calls_from_text only skipped markers that fell inside a span it
had already parsed successfully, so when an unquoted Gemma argument contained
a literal marker (code:<|tool_call>call:terminal{...}<tool_call|>) the outer
object failed to normalize, its span was never recorded, and the inner marker
was promoted to a standalone terminal call. Candidates nested inside any other
candidate's brace span are now skipped regardless of whether the enclosing
candidate parsed, so a marker in malformed outer data is never executed.
- /generate/stream skipped backend.reset_generation_state() when the disconnect
watcher set cancel_event between chunks: the loop broke and the finally's reset
is guarded on cancel_event being unset. A subprocess backend kept decoding
after the client left. The cancel-break path now resets the backend.
- _SameTaskStreamingResponse threw CancelledError / called aclose() on the body
iterator on a send-side disconnect, but neither runs the try/finally of a
generator that never started (early disconnect on http.response.start), so the
passthrough's eagerly-opened upstream httpx stream and cancel-registry entry
leaked. It now tracks whether the body started and, when it did not, runs an
optional unstarted_cleanup hook; the OpenAI passthrough wires it to close the
upstream resp/client and exit the cancel tracker.
Adds a nested-unquoted-marker regression test.

* Add HF dataset streaming mode to Studio
* Added default value for datasetStreaming in training-config-store.ts
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Handle None max_steps for streaming validation
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* studio: fast-fail streaming validation and guard incompatible modes
Reject dataset_streaming at the API boundary when hf_dataset is empty,
the dataset is vision/audio, or max_steps is not set. Probe eval split
with get_dataset_split_names before the streaming load so typos fail
immediately instead of mid-training. Guard column_names=None after map
on iterables. Hide the UI toggle for non-text configurations and clear
the stale flag when config becomes incompatible.
* studio: add streaming dataset tests, iterable helper, and streaming template/format support (WIP)
Work-in-progress on top of feat/studio-dataset-streaming-mode (PR #4946):
- new test_training_streaming.py and iterable.py dataset helper
- streaming support in chat_templates.py and format_conversion.py
- additional streaming guards in trainer.py / models / routes
- frontend streaming wiring in params-section and training-config-store
Committed to preserve uncommitted work before merging latest main.
* studio: fix review-team findings for streaming + main merge
BLOCKER: streaming + raw-text/CPT crashed on len(IterableDataset). Guard it in the
start route (reject format_type=="raw" or training_type=="Continued Pretraining")
and in isStreamingSupported (datasetFormat !== "raw").
Also:
- models/training.py: validate hf_dataset/subset/split (charset+length, block ..//);
cap dataset slice indices (le=1e9); note validator ordering
- chat_templates.py: guard _apply_custom_mapping .map() for streaming
- trainer.py: warn when packing+streaming
- training-config-store.ts: persist-migration bump to v11 (standalone datasetStreaming
backfill); add isVisionModel to NON_PERSISTED; toast on silent streamingCompatiblePatch
mutations in the 4 indirect setters
- tests: route rejections (max_steps, raw/cpt), slice cap, unsafe hf_dataset
* studio: enable raw-text/CPT dataset streaming + streaming UX polish
- raw_text: keep the lazy filter but skip len()-based row counting for
IterableDatasets so raw-text / CPT can stream; guard the eval-size log
- routes/trainer: drop the raw/CPT streaming block; add a defensive
not-streaming guard on the eval auto-split (train_test_split)
- dataset-section: streaming toggle is visible-but-disabled and lists the
exact unmet requirement(s) in its tooltip; block embedding models
- training-start-overlay: show "streaming (no full download)" instead of a
stuck download bar for streaming runs
- trim the streaming test suite to the high-value cases
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* studio: address streaming review (MLX/embedding guards, sliced eval split, rehydrate timing)
- routes: reject dataset_streaming for embedding training and on Apple Silicon
(MLX); both loaders materialize the full dataset instead of streaming
- trainer: validate the base eval split name so streaming eval accepts HF slice
syntax such as "validation[:1000]"
- training-config-store: defer the onRehydrateStorage setState to a microtask so
it doesn't hit the store's TDZ during synchronous hydration
- test: streaming start rejects embedding models
* studio: harden HF dataset streaming (column_names, split slicing, empty/eval bounds, gating)
Address a deeper streaming review:
- raw_text: resolve_column_names() guards IterableDataset.column_names=None
(from_generator / unresolved features) so raw-text and CPT streaming no longer
raise TypeError before training
- models/routes: reject HF slice syntax in train_split/eval_split when streaming
(load_dataset(streaming=True) raises "Bad split"); reject mixed sources
(local/S3) and embedding/MLX streaming at the API, not just in the UI
- trainer: an empty post-slice/filter stream fails preflight with a clear message;
streaming eval is capped (STREAMING_EVAL_MAX_SAMPLES) so each eval terminates;
the manual-slice shortcut falls back to a regular load when train_split is sliced
- format_conversion: streaming conversions preflight the first mapped row so
format errors surface before training, not mid-iteration
- frontend: block streaming on Apple Silicon; clear datasetStreaming when a
dataset is detected as image/audio at start
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* studio: fix CI for streaming PR (lint blocker + no-torch sandbox + preflight test)
- trainer.py: drop unused `IterableDataset` import (hoist safety-net blocker).
- test_training_streaming.py: only select real classes (isinstance type) when
locating the trainer class, so a MagicMock-stubbed global is never passed to
object.__new__ (fixes TypeError on the Python 3.10-3.13 jobs).
- no-torch import sandboxes (test_e2e_no_torch_sandbox.py,
test_studio_import_no_torch.py): teach the chat_templates/format_conversion
exec stubs and the full-import-chain copy list about the new `.iterable`
module so the AFTER/runtime cases import without torch again.

* Studio: redesign Select model dropdown to match Hub design
Make the chat Select model picker easier to scan by reusing the Hub
on-device card's visual language.
- Rows now split owner/name, add a param chip, a DotTag format pill,
a tabular size, and a Loaded marker on the active model.
- Hub models / Fine-tuned tabs reuse the Hub's exact .hub-tab-toggle
styling (selectors extended in hub.css to the selector menu).
- Add a Downloaded / Recommended / Custom section toggle on the Hub
tab to filter the list.
- Widen the popover and nudge the scrollbar toward the edge.
* Studio: move section toggle below search, size tabs to label
Put Downloaded / Recommended / Custom under the search bar in their own
row so Hub models / Fine-tuned no longer wrap. The section toggle uses a
smaller font and sizes each tab to its label instead of equal widths.
* Studio: extract pure row-meta helpers into their own module
Move splitRepoLabel, classifyMetaToken, and parseMetaTokens out of
pickers.tsx into row-meta.ts. No behaviour change; keeps the presentation
logic free of React/DOM deps so it is easy to test in isolation.
* Studio: content-size the source tabs and add section icons
Size the Hub models / Fine-tuned tabs to their labels (with side
padding) like the section toggle, instead of stretching full width. Add
a leading download, star, and folder icon to Downloaded, Recommended,
and Custom.
* Studio: stop source tabs stretching and hide empty Fine-tuned tab
The popover is a flex column, so the fit toggle stretched full width;
add w-fit/self-start so it sizes to its content. Also hide the
Fine-tuned tab when there are no fine-tuned models, defaulting to Hub
models.
* Studio: keep only fine-tuned models in the Fine-tuned tab
Local models (LM Studio, Ollama, custom folders) carry source "local"
and already show in the Hub tab's Downloaded / Custom sections, so
exclude them from the Fine-tuned tab and from its visibility count.
Extract the tab rules into source-tabs.ts.
* Studio: show local providers under Downloaded, Recommended first
Show LM Studio and other local provider models in the Downloaded
section in all modes (was chat-only). Put Recommended first and make it
the default section. Add a little more space below the search bar.
* Studio: make Recommended a sortable live Unsloth listing
Replace the static Recommended list (and its collapse chevron) with a
sort dropdown over Unsloth's own models: Recommended, Trending, Most
likes, Downloads, Recently updated. Recommended shows recently uploaded
GGUF/MLX models that fit the device (hidden if they do not); the other
sorts list all Unsloth models, badged but never hidden. Adds a sort
option to useHfModelSearch and a pure recommended-fit helper.
* Studio: size Recommended models from the repo name when metadata is missing
GGUF and MLX repos rarely expose safetensors metadata, so a large model
with no size could pass the Recommended fit check because unknown size was
treated as fitting. Parse the parameter count from the repo id, including
the Gemma E series, and hide anything we still cannot size.
* Studio: detect model capabilities and family from HF tags
Thread tags and the pipeline tag through the model search results and add a
pure helper that infers vision, reasoning and audio plus the architecture
family, falling back to repo-name keywords when tags are absent.
* Studio: add row details and inline section sorting to Select model
Give each model row more detail and make the Hub sections easier to scan:
- Show vision, reasoning and audio badges plus the architecture family tag
on each row, alongside the params, format and size.
- Drop the redundant unsloth/ prefix on the Recommended rows.
- Rename the Recommended section tab to Unsloth and enlarge the section tabs.
- Move the sort dropdown inline to the right of the tabs at a fixed width.
- Add Recent, Size and Downloaded sorting to the Downloaded and Custom tabs.
- Remove the header icons, pad the subheadings, and grow the list height.
* Studio: tune the Select model sort dropdown and trim row badges
- Recommended now lists the most recently created Unsloth repos.
- Narrow the sort dropdown, remove its border, and truncate long labels.
- Tighten the gap between the section tab icons and their labels.
- Remove the architecture family tag from rows since it repeats the name.
* Studio: extract the PillTabs toggle into a shared module
Move the segmented pill toggle out of the model selector into its own file so
the Hub picker can reuse it for a format filter without duplicating the markup.
* Studio: fix Recommended infinite scroll and add a format filter
- Re-attach the scroll observer on each loaded page so a filtered Recommended
list keeps paging until the viewport fills instead of spinning forever with
nothing new appearing.
- Add an All / GGUF / MLX / Safetensors toggle on the Unsloth listing that
filters every sort.
* Studio: default Recommended to Trending, rename Downloaded to On Device, and fade the scroll edge
Sort: default the Recommended view to Trending and add a Name option to
the On Device / Custom sort. Recent now orders by last load time while
Downloaded orders by file date, tracked in localStorage (model-usage.ts).
Formats: show the format filter on all three tabs (Unsloth, On Device,
Custom), exclude mobile GGUF builds from Recommended, and flag GGUF rows
that exceed the device with the same OOM badge as safetensors.
Polish: download-icon badge on already-downloaded Recommended rows, the
hugeicons view stroke-rounded vision badge, Search all models placeholder,
matched popover padding, and a top-edge mask fade once the list scrolls.
* Studio: size GGUF repos from gguf metadata so large ones flag OOM
Repos with no <n>B token in the name (Kimi, MiniMax) had no param count
and so never showed an OOM badge. Request the gguf expand field from
Hugging Face and read gguf.total, so those repos get a param chip and an
OOM badge when they exceed the device budget.
Keep the row name full contrast when over budget (the OOM badge already
signals the fit), shorten the format and sort dropdowns, narrow the
popover, and rename Recently updated to Recent and All formats to All.
* Studio: address selector review feedback
Add WAI-ARIA roving tabindex and Arrow Left/Right navigation to the pill
toggle so only the active tab is in the tab order. Keep the chat-only
GGUF/MLX filter for every Recommended sort, not just Recommended, so
chat-only users do not see unrunnable checkpoints under Trending. Feed
both listings' GGUF hints into repo detection so a tag-only GGUF in
Recommended expands variants instead of loading as a checkpoint.
* Studio: scope Select model search per tab and add an MLX tag
Search is now per section. The Unsloth tab searches the Unsloth HF
listing only, On Device filters downloaded and LM Studio models by name,
and Custom filters custom-folder models, each with its own empty state.
MLX repos get an MLX pill mirroring the GGUF tag. Downloaded quants in
the Unsloth and search lists get the same delete action as On Device.
Also: revert the model name to normal weight, narrow the popover to
558px so the format and sort dropdowns sit one gap-2 from the tabs,
tighten the dropdown menus to match the Projects activity Select, and
make the empty On Device state name the active format filter.
* Studio: show local ./models on the On Device tab so they stay selectable
Models under the local models directory (source models_dir) flow in as local
models but were dropped from every list: filtered out of Fine-tuned and never
re-added by the Hub picker, which kept only LM Studio and custom-folder
sources. Capture them in the local refresh and render a Local models group on
the On Device tab, with the same format, search, and chat-only GGUF rules as
the other local groups.
* Studio: add a Hub button beside the Select model search bar
Adds a Hub button next to the search bar that opens the full Hub Discover
page to browse more models. Styled like the section tabs (rounded, no
border, soft shadow with a faint top layer) and darkens on hover. Also
nudges the format and sort dropdown chevrons a touch toward the edge.
* Studio: align Select model padding and tighten the format pills
Sizes the popover to the tab cluster so the left and right padding match,
and drops the top row below the rounded corner so the Hub button lines up
with the Trending dropdown. Gives the Hub button a fixed width, lets the
list scrollbar sit inside the box, and shrinks the format pill dot with a
tighter dot-to-label gap.
* Studio: label the Hub button Search Hub and match the dropdown width
Renames the button to Search Hub, sets its width to the format and sort
dropdown width so it lines up above them, and tightens the icon gap.
* Studio: drop the vision and reasoning row badges to declutter
Removes the vision and reasoning capability icons from the model rows so
they read cleaner. Audio is kept.
* Studio: add a safetensors pill, hide diffusion models, eye on Vision
Gives safetensors rows a format pill and size so their meta matches GGUF
and MLX, drops image and video diffusion models from the listing since they
cannot run in chat, and shows an eye icon next to the Vision tag. Also
removes the em dashes from the Projects export and import labels.
* Studio: gate recommended folders on real weights and polish the selector
Only show a Recommended chip once the well-known dir actually holds
weights, so an empty LM Studio or Ollama scaffold no longer suggests
itself. _dir_has_downloaded_model checks for a GGUF/safetensors file or
a non-empty Ollama manifests store, with a bounded walk.
Selector polish: round the popover and option menus a touch more,
lighten the OOM badge in dark mode, soften the inner dropdown shadow,
even out the padding, and lift the toggle track and field triggers so
their edges read against the popover.
Also catch CogVideoX in the diffusion name fallback.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: align the dark Select model panel with the sidebar
Match the popover, fields, dropdowns, tab toggle and row states to the
sidebar surface and accent so the dropdown reads as one piece in dark
mode. The active tab pill and Search Hub button sit a touch lighter
than the track, and the inner option menus drop their drop shadow for a
flatter look. Light mode is unchanged.
* Studio: re-derive the Select model tab on open
The picker remounts each time the dropdown opens, but the source tab
state did not, so a persisted fine-tuned or connected selection that
only lands in its list after an async load would reopen on Hub. Reset
the active tab to the selection-derived default on the open edge, while
still letting the user switch tabs freely within a session.
* Studio: fold Custom into On Device and polish the picker
Merge the Custom tab into On Device so custom folders sit right below
the downloaded models, with a folder shortcut on the group header.
Rename the first Hub tab to Recommended, give the format dropdown
colored dots, even out the tab row spacing, and tighten the popover
width. Align the folder browser with the app dialogs (soft surface,
roomier padding, green confirm, grey hover).
* Studio: fix On Device controls and nudge the folder browser close
The Hub redesign merge dropped the old Search Hub button styling, so the
On Device search row rendered flat. Point the search input and Search
Hub button at the shared .field-soft surface so they match the rest of
the Hub controls, and lift the folder browser close button slightly.
* Studio: run the Select model search on the Hub search stack
Point the picker at the Hub's useHubModelSearch and useHubInfiniteScroll
instead of its own useHfModelSearch/useInfiniteScroll, scoped to unsloth
so the listing matches the old one. Both the search and the recommended
feed now share the Hub implementation, so there is one search path. The
Hub result folds GGUF params into totalParams, so the dead ggufParams
fallback is dropped.
* Studio: trim the recommended sort to Recommended, Trending, Recent
Drop Downloads and Most likes from the sort dropdown.
* Studio: give the section tabs room off the rounded edge
The fit-mode toggle wrapped the tabs with no inset, so On Device sat
tight against the rounded-full edge. Add a small horizontal inset and
widen the popover a touch to fit it.
* Studio: drop the legacy HF search hooks for the Hub ones
Migrate the training model and dataset sections, export page, onboarding
steps and recipe dataset combobox off useHfModelSearch, useHfDatasetSearch
and useInfiniteScroll onto the Hub equivalents, scoped to unsloth so the
listings match. The picker reads recommended param counts off the search
results it already has instead of a separate fetch. Removes the duplicate
search stack: use-hf-model-search, use-hf-dataset-search,
use-hf-paginated-search, use-infinite-scroll, use-recommended-model-vram
and the old lib/hf-cache.
* Fix model selector section toggle proportions
Remove the fit-mode track inset so the active pill sits flush to the
track edge, matching the Hub's segmented controls.
* Tighten model selector width and tab padding
Reduce the popover width so the right edge aligns with the row, and
widen the fit-mode tab padding so On Device clears the track edge.
* Refine Recommended formats, sort width and tab padding
Recommended now suggests GGUF anywhere and MLX only on Mac, never
safetensors. Size the sort dropdown to its label so Recommended no
longer truncates, and match the On Device trailing gap to the active
pill's leading inset.
* Flush section toggle and match dropdown font to Search Hub
Drop the trailing track pad so the active pill fits the track exactly
at either end. Size the sort and format dropdown text to text-xs like
the Search Hub button, and clip long labels without an ellipsis.
* Fix sort menu checkmark overlap and lock dropdown widths
Keep the option's right padding so the selected checkmark no longer
overlaps the label, and let the open menu expand to fit it. Set the
format and sort triggers to a fixed width matching the Search Hub
button so they always line up.
* Keep section toggle and dropdowns on one row
Drop the wrap and size the Search Hub button, format and sort dropdowns
to a shared 100px so they stay equal width and fit on one row without
widening the box.
* Studio: pre-load inference settings dialog with native context
Add a gear on downloaded GGUF quant rows that opens a settings dialog
to adjust inference parameters before loading a model:
- Context length, KV cache dtype, speculative decoding and tensor
parallelism, all written to the runtime store the load call reads.
- Settings can be remembered per model in localStorage.
- The context slider ceiling and "Model supports up to N tokens" come
from the model's native context, read from GGUF metadata and returned
by /api/models/gguf-variants once a variant is downloaded.
Also drop models Studio can't run for chat (diffusion, image, video)
from the recommended feed and Hub search, plus minor selector polish
on row hover padding, Search Hub and dropdown widths, and tab spacing.
* Studio: model selector polish and memory-aware load warning
Search and listing:
- Drop the "Recommended" and "Hugging Face" section labels while
searching so results read as one list; keep the format and sort
dropdowns visible so search results can still be sorted and filtered.
- Request gguf metadata in the Hub listing so GGUF repos report a
parameter count, restoring the OOM badge for repos without a size
token in the name (Kimi, MiniMax, GLM).
Load settings dialog:
- Warn when weights plus the KV cache at the chosen context exceed
available memory. The KV size is sized by the backend's
architecture-aware estimator via a new kv-cache-estimate endpoint;
the budget uses VRAM plus system RAM. Best-effort, no warning on
failure or on auto context.
- Context Length placeholder reads "auto"; dark background slightly
lighter.
Other:
- Clicking the Custom Folders header opens the folder browser; its
title now reads "Select folder to detect models".
- On Device sort lists Downloaded last.
- Smaller chat template editor font; rounded wrapper clips the prompt
and template editor scrollbars so the right corners stay round.
* Studio: fix load dialog memory warning budget and KV dropdown width
- The memory warning never fired without a discrete GPU. useGpuInfo
returned zero system RAM in that case, so the budget was always zero.
Surface system RAM even when no GPU is present (Mac unified memory),
and have the load dialog read memory directly instead of through props.
- Give the dialog fields shrink-0 so the KV Cache Dtype value (e.g.
q8_0) is not squeezed and clipped by the row.
* Studio: fold fine-tuned models into On Device tab
Remove the Hub models and Fine-tuned source tabs. Fine-tuned models now
show as a section in the Hub tab's On Device view, above Custom Folders,
with the Train icon and a collapse toggle. The section only appears when
the user has fine-tuned models. With no external providers the lone Hub
tab hides its own toggle.
Also: tick-circle Show hidden checkbox and drop the divider above Eject;
keep run settings load params (KV cache dtype, speculative, tensor
parallel) from being clobbered by a mid-load status poll.
* Studio: stage load settings in the sidebar with a Load on selection toggle
Replace the pre-load settings popup with a staging flow in the Run settings
sidebar. The gear on a downloaded quant row now stages the model and opens
Run settings with Load model and Cancel buttons, so options like context
length, KV cache, speculative decoding and tensor parallelism are set before
the model loads. A "Remember these settings" tick reuses them next time.
Add a global Load on selection toggle in Settings, Chat tab (default on).
On: Unsloth auto-picks the best settings for your hardware and loads on
selection. Off: picking a model stages it in Run settings to customize first.
The gear always stages, regardless of the toggle.
Other polish in this change:
- Fine-tuned models live under the On Device tab, with a train icon on the
header that jumps to the Fine-tuned section.
- Default to the On Device tab when downloads exist, otherwise the last used
section.
- Standard Unsloth tooltips on the train, folder and gear icons.
- Request the gguf param count on every Hub listing fetch so Kimi, MiniMax
and GLM show a size badge.
- Search Hub hover state, scrollbar position and minor spacing fixes.
Remove the old inference load settings dialog.
* Studio: always show the fine-tuned shortcut and smooth out the picker
- Fine-tuned section and its train shortcut now always show on On Device,
with an empty state when no fine-tuned models exist yet.
- Folder icon on the header jumps to Custom Folders instead of opening the
browse popup, matching the train shortcut.
- Folder browser keeps the list mounted and dims it while refetching, so
toggling Show hidden or changing folders no longer flashes.
- Drop the tooltip hover grace area in the picker so moving between the
train, folder and gear icons switches the tooltip at once.

* Studio: add quantization display options and drop the fine-tuned empty text
- Settings, Chat: 'Expand quantizations' toggle. On expands every On Device
GGUF model's quantizations by default; off keeps them behind a click
(default).
- Settings, Chat: 'Show all quantizations' toggle. On lists every quant
including ones not downloaded (default); off shows downloaded only.
- Remove the empty-state line under the Fine-tuned header; the header still
shows on its own.
* Studio: let expanded quantizations collapse on click and split the On/Off help
- With Expand quantizations on, clicking an On Device model now collapses or
re-expands its quantizations. The collapse state is in memory only, so it
resets on reload and when the setting is toggled.
- Put the Off sentence on its own line in the quantization setting descriptions.
* Studio: reorder chat settings and rename the model section
- Rename the Models section to Select model settings and move it above the
Chat menu section.
- Trim the section and Load on selection descriptions.
* Studio: tighten the On/Off lines in the model setting descriptions
Use a line break instead of separate spans so the On and Off lines sit on
consecutive lines without the extra paragraph gap.
* Studio: top-align the Load on selection toggle
Add an alignTop option to SettingsRow and use it so the toggle sits at the top
of the row next to the label, not centered against the tall description.
* Studio: put the gear hint and example chip on one line
Move the gear example chip inline with its label so it reads as a single line
instead of wrapping onto its own row.
* Studio: move the New badge from API keys to Chat settings
Add the New badge to the Chat settings tab and drop it from API keys.
* Studio: line the Load on selection toggle up with the first description line
Offset the top-aligned control past the label row so it sits next to the On
line instead of the label.
* Studio: label the chat menu item Chat with Files (RAG)
Rename the Chat with Files entry in the chat menu settings to clarify it is RAG.
* Studio: drop the pill around the gear example so it fits on one line
Remove the background and padding from the gear example chip so it sits inline
with its label at a lower height.
* Studio: fold the gear example into the description line spacing
Render the gear example inline in the same text block so its line spacing
matches the On and Off lines instead of an extra flex gap.
* Studio: scope Show all quantizations to On Device only
Gate the downloaded-only filter on an onDevice flag so Recommended and other
browse lists always show every quant, and note On Device in the setting copy.
* Studio: tidy On Device GGUF rows
- Drop the redundant Quantizations subheading under On Device models.
- Relay GGUF vision support up to the model name as a Vision badge instead.
- Drop the repo size from On Device GGUF model rows since the quants already
show their size.
* Studio: pin the eject button and tidy General settings
- Move Eject loaded model out of the scrollable list into a centered footer so
it stays in view no matter how far the list is scrolled.
- Space out and center the gear example in the Load on selection description.
- General: drop the duplicate Unsloth version section, move llama.cpp
notifications above Helper LLM, and note new models in its description.
* Studio: add left padding before the gear example
Nudge the gear example away from its label with a small left margin.
* Studio: make the eject footer a sticky bar over the list
Pin Eject loaded model to the bottom of the scroll area with the menu
background so rows scroll under it, and drop the divider line.
* Studio: drop the eject footer background, keep it a sticky button
Make the sticky eject a centered transparent button so it coexists with the
rows scrolling behind it. The wrapper ignores pointer events so only the button
is clickable.
* Studio: give the eject button a solid background
Add the menu background, a border and a soft shadow to the sticky eject button
so it reads as a floating button over the list.
* Studio: restore the eject footer block, keep hover on the button only
Bring back the full-width menu background behind the sticky eject footer, but
keep the button compact and centered so the hover stays on the button.
* Studio: show the vision badge on On Device rows without expanding
- cached-gguf listing reports has_vision (mmproj present), so the badge shows
on the model name without opening the quantizations.
- Make the vision badge icon-only with a tooltip: "This model can process
image inputs". Falls back to the expander-reported value on older backends.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Make LM Studio and Local models sections collapsible
* Fade the eject footer instead of a solid block
* Wrap the vision badge in a bordered pill
* Taller model list with the eject footer pinned to the bottom
* Use purple for the vision badge to set it apart from GGUF
* Reduce the model list height
* Make the eject button inline with no background block
* Match the vision badge color to the Hub indigo tone
* Shorten the model list and square off the format tags
* Pin the eject button so it floats at the bottom of the list
* Give the floating eject button a tinted background
* Add bottom clearance so the list ends on white space under the eject button
* Match eject button to the menu background and unify the settings gear icon
* Move eject below the list and match its shadow and dark background
* Drop the min height so short model lists leave no white space
* Remove the eject button fill so it never covers the list
* Nest dropdown hover radius inside the menu corners
* Float the eject pill again and fix sort dropdown hover radius
* Make the eject button opaque in both themes on hover and dark
* Trim the model menu bottom padding so it stops clipping the last row
* Match dark eject background to the Search Hub button and pad row indicators
* Fade the model list bottom edge while rows sit below the fold
* Lift the eject button and trim the section toggle right padding
* Nudge the model list taller and run the bottom fade to the box edge
* Nudge the model list slightly taller
* Remove the eject button shadow
* Align the eject button to the right
* Widen the Search Hub and dropdowns and right-align them
* Seat the eject button at the base and restore On Device right padding
* Reduce the Search Hub and dropdown width by 4px
* Widen the model menu so the section toggle keeps its padding
* Make the eject button an icon-only button with shadow
* Tighten section tab padding to cut the grey between tabs
* Revert section tab padding back to px-3
* Remove the section toggle trailing padding
* Add an eject button beside the model selector trigger
* Shrink the in-list eject button to a smaller proportional size
* Raise the in-list eject button
* Make the trigger eject a bare icon next to the dropdown arrow
* Revert eject back to the labeled button on the right
* Place the format and sort dropdowns next to the section toggle
* Raise the eject button and shorten its label to Eject model
* Widen the gap between the toggle and dropdowns slightly
* Align Search Hub with the last dropdown via a shared-width grid
* Narrow the model menu for symmetric padding
* Stretch the search row so Search Hub lines up with the last dropdown
* Inset the list so the right padding matches the left
* Right-align dropdowns and full-width search so Search Hub meets the last dropdown
* Pack section toggle and dropdowns with a uniform gap
* Inset search row so Search Hub aligns with the Trending dropdown
* Trim model menu right padding to match the left
* Nudge model list scrollbar inward
* Move eject button to the bottom left with a light shadow
* Shorten show all quantizations description
* Keep eject button right-aligned, nudged in from the edge
* Move Connected into the section toggle as a cloud-icon tab
* Align eject button with the format tag edge
* Right-align Connected layout so Search Hub meets Trending
* Download selected models through the Hub download manager
* Add Other models section for non-Unsloth downloads
* Add directions icon and shortcut for Other models section
* Space out subheadings and gate Other models on non-Unsloth downloads
* Use direction-right icon for Other models
* Use flag icon for Other models
* Widen Connected menu so dropdowns align with Search Hub
* Model selector: truncate long quant labels and tidy layout
- Hub GGUF card: truncate long file-path quant labels with an ellipsis
instead of overflowing the row.
- Connected layout: left-pack the dropdowns and size the box so the last
dropdown's right gap matches the pill's left gap, with Search Hub on its edge.
- On Device: show MLX/Safetensors with the size on non-GGUF rows.
- Connected list rows use the same grey hover as the tabs; the selected
section tab no longer shows a hover change.
* Model selector: drop stale custom section on restore
A persisted custom section value no longer maps to a tab, so restoring it
opened the picker to an empty view. Fall back to recommended instead.
* Model selector: align the non-connected search bar with the All dropdown
Nudge the non-connected box width so the search bar's right edge meets the
All dropdown, which lands Search Hub on the last dropdown's edge.
* Studio chat model selector: remember last tab, route non-GGUF downloads through Hub, stack overlays
- Restore the last Hub section (Recommended / On Device) on every open instead of always snapping to On Device when downloads exist.
- Route uncached non-GGUF repos (safetensors / MLX) through the Hub download manager via a snapshot download, so every model download shows in the bottom-right indicator and follows Load on selection like GGUF.
- Allow safetensors in Recommended on Mac (they run locally there now), and honor the Safetensors format filter instead of dropping it via the recommendation default.
- Stack bottom-right overlays in one column so the download panel and banners never overlap.
- Add evenly spaced divider lines between the On Device subheadings.
- Pad the bottom of the list so the floating Eject pill never covers the last row.
* Studio downloads panel: widen left padding on header and rows
Bump the left inset to pl-4 while keeping pr-3 so the collapse and cancel buttons stay put.
* Studio: update cached-gguf route tests for the has_vision field
list_cached_gguf now returns has_vision per row (vision badge on On Device);
the expected dicts were missing it. True for the mmproj vision repo, False elsewhere.
* Studio: keep MLX/safetensors selectable in chat-only Mac search
The empty Recommended view allows GGUF plus MLX/safetensors on Mac, but the
curated and HF search lists dropped non-GGUF in chat-only via a GGUF-only filter,
so typing a query hid runnable Mac models. Reuse isRecommendableFormat in both
lists so search matches the empty view (chat-only non-Mac stays GGUF-only).
* Model selector: restore global model search and fix GGUF/device-fit regressions
- Search: training, export and onboarding pickers searched only the unsloth org
on a typed query. Restore the prior behavior (global Hub search with unsloth
floated first when a query is typed, curated unsloth listing when empty).
- Recommended browse: the GGUF/MLX-only gate ran before the format filter, so
the Safetensors filter and the Trending/Recent sorts always came back empty.
Apply that gate only for the Recommended sort and chat-only mode.
- GGUF metadata: request the gguf expand field through listModels so repos with
no size token in the name (Kimi, MiniMax, GLM) report a param count for the
size and OOM badge.
- Local GGUF: custom-folder and standalone ./models/*.gguf files now load
directly with the GGUF marker instead of dead-ending in the variant expander,
and scanned GGUF folders are classified via a backend model_format hint.
- Device fit: use system RAM in the budget on unified-memory hosts, and keep MLX
rows selectable on chat-only Macs.
- kv-cache-estimate: resolve the quant from the snapshot-relative path, skip MTP
drafter files, and prefer the most complete snapshot (mirrors the variant
scanner). Bound the Ollama manifest walk.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Model selector: classify suffixless local GGUF folders consistently
Complete the model_format plumbing so a GGUF folder is detected and loaded
through the same GGUF path that the format filter already uses:
- _scan_models_dir: a config.json no longer disqualifies a folder whose only
weights are .gguf, so HF GGUF repos shipping a config still classify as GGUF.
- _scan_lmstudio_dir: emit model_format for every GGUF row (LM Studio dirs
rarely carry a -GGUF suffix), via a shared _dir_model_format helper.
- Custom Folders and LM Studio rows: use localModelIsGguf (the same helper the
filter uses) so the row label, expand-vs-direct-load, and isGguf flag agree;
a suffixless GGUF folder no longer filters as GGUF but loads as non-GGUF.
Adds tests/test_local_model_format.py covering the classification rule.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio model selector: tighten section spacing
Trim each subheading's gap to its rows (pb-1.5 to pb-1) and pull the On Device
heading block tight to the controls while Recommended keeps a little top room.
* Hub: format filter fix, sort defaults, avatar and layout polish
- Format dropdown now filters the feed's Latest list too, so the default
GGUF hides fp8/safetensors and picking a format changes the rows.
- Latest Unsloth Models sorts by newest created, not recently updated.
- Sort dropdown order: Newest, Trending, Most downloads, Recently
updated, Most likes.
- Unsloth uploads with no upstream provider logo show the Unsloth avatar
instead of a colored initial.
- Owner scope pill gets a little more room before the chevron.
- README detail column lines up with the top bar (both-edges gutter).
- Long file-path quant labels truncate instead of overflowing the row.
- Model list keyboard nav no longer clips the focus ring.
- Run settings sheet: restore the Remember settings toggle and larger
Load/Cancel buttons on the staged load flow.
* Hub: hide the RAG embedding model from browse previews
The Hub discover feed and chat model selector pull from the Hugging Face
listing on the client, which the backend _is_hidden_model filter never
touches, so the RAG embedder (unsloth/bge-small-en-v1.5-GGUF) and the
llama.cpp validation probe leaked into the lists.
Added isHiddenModelId mirroring the backend needles and filtered it out of
the discover rows, the trending feed, and the selector's recommended and
Hugging Face search lists. Per-repo file and download views are untouched,
so the model is never deleted and a reinstall still shows it as already
downloaded.
* Studio: skip hidden dirs when checking a folder for downloaded models
_dir_has_downloaded_model walked the tree with rglob("*") bounded by
max_entries. rglob yields entries in arbitrary order and counts every one, so a
model directory that also holds a large hidden subtree (.git/.cache/venv) could
exhaust the budget before reaching the real weights and falsely report no model,
hiding a valid Recommended-folder chip. Replace the generic-weights pass with a
bounded BFS that skips hidden directories so their entries can't starve the walk.
Adds a regression test (50-entry .git beside the weights, max_entries=10).
* Fix/adjust model selector handling for PR #6364
* Studio: address codex review on the staging/recommended-folder paths
- chat-page auto-load: selectModel only clears pendingSelection on success, so a
failed auto-load left the hidden stage (and its edited load knobs) behind.
Abandon the stage when it still matches the failed pick.
- model picker: count fine-tuned rows in the On Device empty check so a
fine-tuned-only tab no longer shows a false 'No models on device' message
above the Fine-tuned section.
- general settings: add the remembered per-model load settings key to PREFS_KEYS
so 'Reset all local preferences' actually clears it.
- recommended-folders: recognize PyTorch .bin weights (gated by the scanner's
weight-name prefixes) so a .bin-only model folder still earns a chip; add tests.
* Studio: name-gate .bin weight detection and complete selector preference reset
Follow-up to the codex review on the model_format/recommended-folder paths:
- _dir_model_format and _scan_models_dir treated any .bin (incl. tokenizer.bin)
as a non-GGUF weight, so a suffixless GGUF folder shipping a companion .bin was
misclassified as a plain checkpoint and routed through the wrong load path.
Factor the scanner's weight-name gating into shared _is_weight_bin /
_has_non_gguf_weights helpers and use them everywhere (also in
_dir_has_downloaded_model).
- PREFS_KEYS was missing the new 'Select model settings' keys (load on selection,
expand/show-all quantizations), so 'Reset all local preferences' left them set.
- On Device cached search dropped the active format filter while a query was
typed; keep matchesFormatFilter applied so the format dropdown stays consistent.
Adds tests for the tokenizer.bin vs weight-.bin classification.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: validate Ollama blobs, gate staged context, honor RAM budget on no-GPU hosts
- recommended-folders: only count an Ollama dir once its manifest resolves to an
on-disk model blob, so a failed/pruned pull no longer surfaces an empty chip
- GGUF variant click: only seed the staged contextLength for already-downloaded
picks, so choosing an undownloaded quant from a partially cached repo still
starts its download (the staging effect short-circuits on a known context)
- device fit: classify GGUF variants against the system-RAM budget on no-GPU /
unified-memory hosts instead of reporting everything as fits, and pass
systemRamGb to every variant expander regardless of gpu.available
* Studio: scope Hub search to Recommended, fix staged non-GGUF settings, keep local MLX on Mac
- model picker: only run the Hub search hooks on the Recommended section. On
Device / Connected render local data, so typing there no longer fires HF
requests or a spinner and the local/offline flow is preserved
- chat settings: when a pick is staged, decide the GGUF-only controls from the
staged model's type, not the currently loaded model's. A staged non-GGUF Hub
repo no longer inherits a loaded GGUF's context/KV/speculative controls
- On Device: keep local MLX builds in ./models selectable on Mac (chat-only ran
GGUF/MLX only, but the filter dropped MLX before the format toggle)

Recognise the Gemma 4 separate-drafter MTP family, auto-download the drafter with retry, fall back to n-gram with a clear reason when it cannot be resolved, and retry the download on reload. Gemma 3n (ships no drafter) and embedded-MTP models (Qwen) are unaffected.
Fixes#6406
* Studio: Auto disables MTP for MLA models (GLM-5.2 et al.); UNSLOTH_MLA_MTP_ENABLED to re-enable
Studio's Auto speculative mode promotes any embedded-MTP model >=3B to
--spec-type draft-mtp. For MLA models (GLM-5.2/DeepSeek/Kimi) that is a
regression: llama.cpp's MLA/DSA MTP path keeps a duplicated full target-KV
context and recomputes the sparse-attention indexer every draft step, so it
runs ~2x slower than no speculation (GLM-5.2 UD-IQ1_S bench: 27 vs 45 tok/s,
flat across draft depth 1..6 and 96-100% acceptance, on both prose and code).
vLLM/SGLang get a speedup from the same model, so this is a llama.cpp
implementation gap, not a model property.
Auto now drops embedded MTP for MLA models and falls back to ngram-mod (or
spec-off when the binary lacks ngram-mod), mirroring the existing sub-3B
fallback. The metadata separator is kv_lora_rank: it is present on MLA models
and absent on non-MLA embedded-MTP models (Qwen3.x-MTP), whose MTP module is
structurally identical but fast, so a "full layer" heuristic cannot tell them
apart. Qwen MTP, separate drafters (Gemma, --model-draft), and non-MTP models
are unchanged.
Explicit overrides still engage the slower MTP route: choosing MTP / MTP+Ngram
in Settings, or passing --spec-type in extra args. UNSLOTH_MLA_MTP_ENABLED=1
re-enables Auto promotion for MLA once the upstream path is optimized.
A new spec_fallback_reason value "mla_mtp_disabled" surfaces this as an
Auto-mode policy downgrade (not a binary/update problem), with a settings
banner that points users at the MTP override. It is deliberately kept out of
the "Update llama.cpp" affordance since updating does not help.
Tests: resolver-matrix rows for MLA->ngram-mod / MLA-no-ngram->off /
non-MLA-Qwen->draft-mtp / MLA-separate-drafter->draft-mtp /
non-MTP-MLA->default / forced mtp|mtp+ngram on MLA->draft-mtp / env flag;
kv_lora_rank metadata fixtures; and reload-skip coverage (Auto ngram-mod is
idempotent, forced mtp bounces a reload).
