Comment-only pass over the Python this PR touches: drop what the code already
says, collapse multi-line explanations that still read on one line, and keep
the reasoning that is not recoverable from the code. No code, docstring
semantics or behaviour changes; verified with an AST comparison against the
previous revision, and the backend suite is unchanged (same 37 environment
failures as before: the API integration tests that need a live keyed server,
the flash-attn install hooks, and the GPU memory fields).
Applies the video round-2 accuracy findings to the image diffusion stack and fixes
two real image-path bugs found while measuring. All numbers B200, production
settings (family default steps/guidance, 1024px, seed 42, 4 fixed prompts), LPIPS
(AlexNet) via the new scripts/image_speedmem_bench.py, which drives the production
lever functions in the loader's own order.
- inductor precision parity: emulate_precision_casts=True on the regional-compile
path (fused pointwise kernels keep fp32 intermediates where eager rounds to bf16
between ops). Pairwise LPIPS of the compiled tier vs the same-stack eager tier:
Qwen-Image 0.019 to 0.006 at identical speed (72.4 vs 72.5 ms/step), FLUX.1-dev
0.046 to 0.029 at +2% step time (69.8 vs 68.3, reproduced), FLUX.2-klein-4B
0.018 to 0.017 at identical speed. Snapshot/restored with the other process-wide
backend flags so an off load never inherits it.
- cache x compile composition: re-point each cache hook's fn_ref.original_forward
at a torch.compile'd wrapper of the same bound method (armed only where the
speed layer compiled the block; restored before every disable_cache and before
the partial-hook cleanup). Qwen-Image FBCache computed steps 91.8 to 71.2 ms
(back at the uncached compiled rate), 1.21x end to end (7.36 to 6.06 s per 4
images); FLUX.1-dev already traced through its FBCache hook and is measured
neutral (same-process armed vs unarmed latents bit-identical). Skip counts
within noise (13 vs 11 of 76; pairwise LPIPS 0.005).
- FBCache mid-session toggle crash: diffusers 0.39 caches the HookRegistry child
list on first cache_context use, so an uncached generation followed by a
20+-step generation (the auto toggle path) enabled hooks the context never
reached and crashed with "No context is set" (reproduced live on FLUX.1-dev).
Invalidate the stale child cache after every enable_cache.
- TE fp8_dynamic zero-row guard: torchao per-row fp8 derives a per-output-channel
scale from the row amax, so an all-zero weight row is 0/0 = NaN. SDXL's
text_encoder_2 (OpenCLIP bigG) ships exactly such a row, and every explicit
fp8_dynamic SDXL render came out black; keep zero-row Linears dense (LPIPS
0.976 black to 0.096 working). Other families' encoders have no such rows and
are byte-identical.
- No AUTO TE quant exists on the image branch (text_encoder_quant defaults dense,
explicit-only), so the video round's auto-dense retune has no image analogue;
the explicit lever's cost is now measured (TE fp8_dynamic alone, LPIPS vs
bit-exact: Qwen-Image 0.038, FLUX.1-dev 0.084, SDXL 0.096; no speed win, VRAM
-6.5 GB on Qwen-Image) for the docs.
Tests: 96 passing across the cache/speed/precision suites (11 new arming, 2
child-registry, 2 zero-row, 4 inductor-flag); ruff clean.
img2img and inpaint take their output size from the uploaded image and only
snap it to a multiple of 16, so an ordinary phone photo (up to the 4096/side
decode cap, 4x the txt2img 2048 ceiling and ~16x the area) drove an OOM-scale
latent and an opaque 500 on a normal card, while txt2img, upscale, edit, and
FLUX.2-klein inpaint are all already megapixel-bounded. Clamp the init longest
side to 2048 (the txt2img ceiling) before deriving width/height; edit is exempt
since its pipeline resizes to ~1MP internally.
_cast_nvfp4 quantized every nn.Linear with no filter, unlike the int8 and fp8
torchao text-encoder modes which exclude the VLM vision tower / lm_head / T5 wo.
On qwen-image / qwen-image-edit that 4-bit quantized the Qwen2.5-VL image tower,
degrading the edit/image conditioning the sibling schemes protect. Apply the
same make_filter_fn exclusion (require_bf16, mirroring _cast_fp8_dynamic).
* Auto policies: deferred dense compile, video compile default, step cache and precision auto
Image dense loads with speed unset no longer sit at plain off: the load stays
bit-identical eager, and the 3rd generation in a session engages the default
compile profile plus the cuDNN attention upgrade mid-session (a one-off image
never pays the warmup, repeated use amortises it). Video dense loads resolve
straight to the default profile since a clip denoise amortises the compile
within a single run, and never to max.
Video also gains the image backend's tri-state auto policies: unset step cache
now decides from the default schedule and re-checks the actual step count per
generation, and unset precision (transformer_quant) hands the decision to the
hardware ladder instead of staying off. Memory badge reason now says plainly
that everything fits when no offload is planned.
* Rename Dtype to Precision, add the video Precision control, step cache Auto option
The images Advanced panel's Dtype row is now Precision (same control, clearer
name), and the video Advanced panel gains the matching Precision select wired
to the load route's existing transformer_quant field, gated to full-pipeline
loads the way the image control gates to GGUF. Step cache selects on both
pages gain an explicit Auto option as the default (the previous Off default
silently behaved as auto and never let anyone pin off), and the Speed and
Attention tooltips now state the deferred dense compile and the SageAttention
black-frame caveat.
* Model catalog: canonical diffusion model groups with device-aware routing
One canonical name per image/video model, its published artifacts (GGUF, FP8,
bnb-4bit, official BF16) as data, and pure routing helpers: suffix-stripped
canonical keys (owner-preserving; cross-owner merges only via explicit
aliases), group/artifact lookups, a flat back-compat options shim, load-spec
resolution replacing the pages' lookup tables, search matching over old ids
and format tokens, the GGUF fit ladder extracted from the variant expander,
and pickDefaultArtifact/pickDefaultQuant deciding what a bare group click
loads (downloaded first, then the best quality that fits 70 percent of VRAM,
GGUF as the safe fallback). Checked by npm run catalog:check, following the
i18n:check pattern.
* Picker: one canonical row per diffusion model with a format second level
The Images and Video pickers now render the curated catalog as one row per
model in Recommended: clicking loads the best artifact for the device (the
routed GGUF quant, a prequant FP8/bnb-4bit that fits, or the official BF16),
and a chevron opens the per-format list, with the GGUF row nesting the usual
quant expander. Live HF listing rows that belong to a group are deduplicated,
search collapses member repos into their group (old ids and format tokens
still match), and the On Device sections group cached member repos under the
same canonical name with the per-repo rows inside. Curated groups render from
the catalog rather than the HF listing, which finally surfaces LTX-2.3 in the
video Recommended list (its hub pipeline_tag is image-to-video, so the
text-to-video listing always missed it) and exposes the HunyuanVideo 720p
repack next to 480p.
Backend: /cached-models now tags trusted video-family repos text-to-video
instead of blanket text-to-image, and the pickers admit catalog-known
non-unsloth repos On Device, so cached Lightricks/Wan/Hunyuan pipelines
finally appear in the Video picker. Chat pickers pass no catalog and are
unchanged.
* Download formats, tab icons, plain-language train tips, 3-loop autoplay
The image Download button becomes a menu: PNG saves the original bytes with
the embedded recipe, JPEG and WebP re-encode client-side from the fetched
blob (JPEG flattened onto white). The video Download button gains MP4
(original, keeps audio), WebM and GIF; the latter two transcode server-side
from the stored MP4 via PyAV (VP9 realtime profile for WebM, ~12 fps adaptive
palette for GIF) behind a new gallery export route that 501s with a readable
message when a codec is missing.
Generated clips no longer loop forever: the player replays a clip three times
per selection, then pauses with controls up; a new generation or a refresh
gets its own three plays. The Create/Train tabs reuse the sidebar's New Chat
and Train icons (TestTubeOutlineIcon moved to a shared lib module), and every
Train tab helper text is now one plain sentence.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Keep the Create/Train tab icon and label on one line
TabsTrigger renders its children inside a plain inline span and the
Tailwind preflight gives svg display:block, so the HugeiconsIcon forced
the label onto a second line. Wrap icon plus label in their own
inline flex row inside each trigger.
* Strip -int8 and -nvfp4 prequant suffixes in the model catalog key
canonicalKeyFor already lowercases before matching, so -GGUF/-FP8 in any
case were covered; -int8 and -nvfp4 were not in the suffix table, so
such repos rendered as standalone rows in Recommended and On Device
instead of standardizing into their base-name group and routing through
pickDefaultArtifact. Added both suffixes plus case-insensitivity and
routing assertions to the catalog check.
* Standardize non-catalog picker rows to their base model name
The curated catalog already collapses its own groups, but hub listing
rows and cached repos outside the catalog (ERNIE-Image, FLUX.2-klein,
Qwen-Image-Edit-2509, FLUX.2-dev) still rendered raw ids with -GGUF /
-FP8 style suffixes in Recommended and On Device.
- model-catalog.ts: new stripArtifactSuffixesForDisplay, a
case-preserving twin of canonicalKeyFor's stripping that keeps the
owner prefix and original casing for display.
- pickers.tsx: recommended hub rows and the downloaded GGUF/model rows
pass their labels through it when a catalog is present, so only the
diffusion pickers change; chat rows keep raw ids. Click targets keep
the full repo id, and the format badge still shows the artifact kind.
- Catalog check covers the new helper across GGUF/FP8/int8/nvfp4 in
both cases plus no-op and suffix-only names.
* Offer official BF16/FP8 artifacts per model group and fix gallery label clipping
Model picker changes so groups are not limited to unsloth quant repos:
- model-catalog.ts: each image group that has an official vendor pipeline
now carries its BF16 (official) artifact as the top (highest quality)
entry - Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo, Qwen/Qwen-Image, Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512,
Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit-2511, black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev, FLUX.1-schnell
and FLUX.1-Kontext-dev. The LTX-2.3 video group now lists Lightricks'
own bf16 and fp8 distilled single-file checkpoints alongside the GGUF.
Resident sizes are set from the actual weight totals (FLUX ships a
duplicate single-file that from_pretrained ignores, so FLUX bf16 is ~32
GB not 54). The repos that used to be aliases are now real artifacts.
- The router already prefers the highest-quality artifact that fits the
0.7 x GPU budget, so a datacenter GPU now defaults to official BF16
while consumer GPUs still route to the fitting quant or GGUF. That is
why bnb-4bit was the Z-Image-Turbo default before: it was the only
non-GGUF artifact and it was already downloaded.
- diffusion.py: allowlist the four official image repos not previously
trusted (qwen/qwen-image-2512, qwen/qwen-image-edit-2511,
black-forest-labs/flux.1-schnell, flux.1-kontext-dev). All verified as
safetensors-only diffusers model_index pipelines. The LTX-2.3
checkpoints are already on the video trust list.
- catalog check: BF16-wins-on-datacenter, quant-wins-on-consumer, and the
single-file load specs for the LTX-2.3 checkpoints.
Also fixes the video gallery thumbnail caption: the leading duration was
clipped by the rounded corner and selection border, so the strip now has
enough left/bottom padding to clear the curve.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* video gallery: guard export transcode against a stream-less clip
_transcode_webm and _transcode_gif indexed src.streams.video[0] before
checking the stream list, so a container with no video stream raised a bare
IndexError that the broad handlers then re-labeled as a missing libvpx or
decoder. Raise an explicit RuntimeError naming the real cause in both the
WebM and GIF paths.
* Studio: honor explicit attention/format choices, fix distilled-LTX defaults and On Device catalog routing
* Remove stray planning notes accidentally committed to the branch
* video: add transformerQuant to the load callback deps
handleLoad reads transformerQuant but omitted it from the useCallback dep array,
so after the user changes only Precision and then selects a model or clicks
Reapply, the memoized callback keeps the stale closure and loads the previous
precision. The image page's equivalent callback already lists it.
* model picker: honor the format filter when routing catalog clicks; add catalog rows to the roving list
- routedArtifactFor now scopes a group's artifacts to the active format filter
(the same matchesFormatFilter predicate the visibility check uses) before
pickDefaultArtifact, so a group shown only because it owns a GGUF no longer
routes a click to a large non-GGUF download. Covers both the Recommended and
On Device grouped paths.
- hubOptionKeys now includes the catalog-group, search-catalog-group, and grouped
On Device row keys in exact render order, so arrow/Home/End roving reaches the
catalog rows instead of giving them a duplicate missing id and skipping them.
* model picker: don't treat a partial base cache as downloaded
A partially-cached base repo (a cancelled download that left only some weights)
was counted as downloaded, so an On Device click routed to a fresh multi-GB
re-download instead of the complete GGUF. The picker's endpoint (/api/models/
cached-models) did not carry a partial flag at all, so a frontend-only guard
could not see it. Surface partial from that endpoint by reusing the hub inventory
scan's snapshot-partial detector, plumb it through CachedModelRepo (backend +
frontend types), and skip partial base repos when building the downloaded set.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* model picker + diffusion: drop partial/unloadable cached rows, skip defer-compile before a LoRA gen
- On Device (cached non-GGUF) rows filtered partial-download snapshots back in: sortedCachedModels
gated on passesTaskGate + a groupForRepoId key match but, unlike downloadedSet, never checked
c.partial, so an incomplete unsloth snapshot showed as a loadable On Device row (click errors or
silently re-fetches multi-GB). It also admitted repos that only match the catalog by group KEY
(a base / uncurated-quant sibling like Qwen/Qwen-Image-2512) which have no loadable artifact and
dead-end at the trust gate. Add !c.partial and gate on artifactForRepoId (what loadSpecFor
resolves) instead of groupForRepoId, so a cached row shows only when the backend can load it.
- Deferred speed-auto engaged the compile profile on the 3rd generation BEFORE _apply_loras. A
compiled transformer rejects LoRA (supports_lora is False) and _apply_loras raises before its
unchanged-selection no-op, so once compile engaged every LoRA generation on that load failed
permanently. Skip the deferral when a LoRA is requested (compile and LoRA are mutually exclusive)
and let it engage on a later LoRA-free generation.
* Scope the cached-model partial probe to the listed snapshot dir
list_cached_models builds each row from the largest/complete copy across HF cache
roots, but _cached_repo_partial probed is_snapshot_partial with no repo_cache_dir,
so the scan spanned every root: a stale .incomplete copy in one root would flag a
complete copy in another as partial and hide the usable model from the picker (the
click then routes to a re-download). Forward the winning snapshot's repo_path so all
three partial signals are scoped to that copy, matching the sibling inventory paths
(models/dataset cache_inventory, local_inventory).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Do not auto-route to gated repos, prefer complete cached copies, defer compile past attached LoRA, scope group expand keys
Four fixes:
- pickDefaultArtifact's not-downloaded ladder returned the gated BF16 FLUX.1-dev / Kontext-dev
before the open GGUF on a large GPU, so a bare group click routed to a repo the user may lack
license/token access to. Add a gated flag and skip gated artifacts in the not-downloaded ladder
(an already-downloaded gated artifact is still returned).
- list_cached_models picked the largest duplicate cache copy and computed partial only on it, so a
larger partial copy shadowed a smaller complete one; since partial rows are dropped from the
picker the usable model vanished. Prefer completeness, then size.
- the deferred-speed compile engaged on a no-LoRA generation while an adapter from a prior
generation was still attached, baking it into the compiled graph (the later unload is swallowed
on a compiled pipe); also defer while adapters remain attached.
- routeGroupClick's GGUF fallback toggled the context-free canonicalId while the chevron toggles
the context-scoped expandKey, leaving the format list un-collapsible in one context, dead in the
other, and risking cross-context expansion; thread expandKey through.
* Guard video pipeline repos from deletion, drop the always-failing LTX FP8 artifact, prefer 720p Hunyuan
Three round-6 fixes:
- cached non-GGUF video repos now surface in the Video On-Device picker with the normal delete
action, but /delete-cached only guarded chat + the Images engine, so a loaded/loading Wan / LTX /
Hunyuan pipeline could have its HF snapshot removed from under it. Add a VideoBackend
loading_repo_ids accessor and a video loaded/loading guard mirroring the Images one.
- the catalog advertised Lightricks/LTX-2.3-fp8 as loadable, but the LTX-2.3 loader refuses the
official scaled-FP8 single file (.weight_scale/.input_scale) and points to GGUF/BF16, so a pick
routed to a ~76 GB download that always fails on load. Remove the FP8 artifact.
- pickDefaultArtifact only sorts by format, so the HunyuanVideo group's 480p (listed first) beat
the 720p even on GPUs where 720p fits the budget. List 720p first so the fit loop prefers it and
falls back to 480p only on smaller cards.
* diffusion: add compute int8/fp8_dynamic text-encoder quant, wire into video
Add two torchao compute text-encoder quant modes to the diffusion precision
engine, alongside the existing layerwise fp8 and weight-only nvfp4:
- int8: per-token activation + per-channel weight (torch._int_mm), with per-layer
keep-bf16 selection. int8 degrades on large encoders unless the most
quant-sensitive decoder blocks stay bf16, so it engages only for families with
a measured keep-bf16 schedule (qwen-image / qwen-image-edit keep first+last 6,
flux.2-dev keeps first 3); a family without one falls back to fp8.
- fp8_dynamic: per-row fp8 compute (torch._scaled_mm), keeping the matmul in fp8
on the tensor cores instead of upcasting each forward like the layerwise fp8.
The selective int8 caster reuses the committed transformer-quant factory
(_make_quant_config / make_filter_fn / exclude_tokens_for_scheme) plus a small
structural first/last-N block skip, so it depends only on committed APIs.
Wire text-encoder quant into the video backend, which previously loaded the
companion encoder (Gemma3 / UMT5 / Qwen2.5-VL) dense bf16 while quantising only
the DiT. text_encoder_quant is plumbed through the load request, validation, the
load chain, the resolved record, and status, mirroring the image backend; it
applies for every load kind (the encoder is dense regardless of how the DiT was
sourced). Widen the image and video load request Literals and add the video
status field.
Tests: int8 family-schedule routing and fp8 fallback, fp8_dynamic routing,
hardware gates (int8 sm_80+, fp8_dynamic sm_89+), the structural block selection,
the real int8 filter closure (keeps the first blocks plus the vision tower /
lm_head / T5 wo dense), and the video route threading and 422 validation.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* text-encoder quant: skip the torchao modes under offload (both backends)
quantize_text_encoders applied int8-with-schedule / fp8_dynamic / nvfp4 (all torchao) to the
text encoder regardless of the offload policy. An offload placement then moves the quantized encoder
with Module.to(), which torchao tensor subclasses reject (aten._has_compatible_shallow_copy_type is
unimplemented) -- a hard crash, the same one the DiT path already skips torchao quant under offload to
avoid. Add offload_active to quantize_text_encoders and skip the torchao modes when set; layerwise fp8
is not torchao and still streams under offload. Both the video and image loaders pass
offload_active = (offload policy != none).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* diffusion: skip non-bf16 linears for scaled_mm quant schemes
The fp8 / mxfp8 / nvfp4 schemes run on torch._scaled_mm and the fp4 / mx GEMMs,
which assert a bfloat16 input weight. On a mixed-precision DiT that keeps some
linears in fp32 for numerical stability (the Wan and Hunyuan video transformers
do this), quantize_ hits the first fp32 linear, raises, and the best-effort
wrapper swallows it to None, so the whole transformer stays dense with no error
and no speedup or memory saving.
Add a require_bf16 gate to make_filter_fn and pass it for the scaled_mm schemes
in quantize_transformer (and the fp8_dynamic text-encoder caster). The gate
skips non-bf16 linears so the scheme engages on the bf16 ones. int8 uses
torch._int_mm, which quantizes fp32/fp16 weights fine, so it leaves the gate off
and keeps its current coverage.
Verified on Wan2.2-TI2V-5B: fp8 and mxfp8 now quantize 303 linears via the
committed quantize_transformer path where they previously engaged 0.
* prequant builder: mirror the scaled-mm bf16 gate offline
The runtime DiT quantizer skips non-bf16 Linears for the scaled_mm schemes (fp8,
nvfp4, mxfp8) so the scheme engages on a mixed-precision transformer instead of
aborting on the first fp32 Linear. The offline prequant builder reused make_filter_fn
without that gate, so building an fp8/nvfp4/mxfp8 checkpoint for a mixed-precision DiT
(Wan, Hunyuan keep _keep_in_fp32_modules in fp32 even under torch_dtype=bf16) would hit
the same fp32 Linear and abort, breaking the builder's stated offline == runtime,
LPIPS-0 invariant. Thread require_bf16 = scheme in _SCALED_MM_SCHEMES through the builder,
record it in the checkpoint metadata, and verify it on load (mirrors the existing
exclude_name_tokens guard) so a future _SCALED_MM_SCHEMES change cannot silently load a
checkpoint built under the old filter.
* Keep nvfp4 fp32 linears quantised (bf16 gate is fp8/mxfp8 only)
Verified on torchao 0.17 / B200: fp8 per-row asserts 'PerRow quantization only
works for bfloat16 precision input weight' and mxfp8 asserts 'Only supporting bf16
out dtype', but NVFP4's high-precision conversion quantises an fp32 weight fine
(forward included). So the bf16 skip-gate must be fp8/mxfp8 only, not all scaled_mm
schemes -- otherwise nvfp4 leaves large fp32 projections dense, losing the intended
memory/speed gain. Rename _SCALED_MM_SCHEMES -> _REQUIRE_BF16_SCHEMES = (fp8, mxfp8)
and thread it through the runtime filter, the offline builder, and the loader
require_bf16 verification (offline == runtime preserved).

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.
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.
