* studio mlx: hardcode value clipping, drop max_grad_value from frontend
Simplifies the MLX grad-clipping plumbing now that we are standardising on
elementwise value clipping at [-5, 5] for the compiled MLX path and norm
clipping disabled. The MLX worker no longer reads max_grad_norm /
max_grad_value from the request; both are pinned in one place. Frontend
stops sending the field at all, and the TypeScript request type drops it
to match. Non-MLX (CUDA/AMD/Intel) is untouched and continues to pick up
HF TrainingArguments' default max_grad_norm = 1.0.

* fix: install.sh Mac Intel compatibility + Studio no-torch support (#4621)
On Intel Macs (x86_64), PyTorch has no wheels for torch >= 2.3, so the
installer crashes. Even when torch is absent, Studio crashes on startup
because two files have bare top-level torch imports.
Studio's GGUF inference (llama.cpp) does not need PyTorch. Training and
HF-inference already isolate torch to subprocesses. Only 2 files in the
server startup chain had top-level torch imports preventing startup.
Changes:
- install.sh: detect architecture, default to Python 3.12 on Intel Mac,
skip torch install, add Python 3.13.8 guard for arm64, pass
UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH env var to setup.sh
- data_collators.py: remove unused `import torch` (no torch.* refs)
- chat_templates.py: lazy-import IterableDataset into function bodies
- install_python_stack.py: add IS_MACOS/NO_TORCH constants, skip
torch-dependent packages, skip overrides.txt, skip triton on macOS
No existing working flow changes. Linux/WSL and macOS arm64 behavior is
identical.
* tests: add test suite for Mac Intel compat + no-torch mode
Shell tests (test_mac_intel_compat.sh):
- version_ge edge cases (9 tests)
- Architecture detection for Darwin x86_64/arm64, Linux x86_64/aarch64
- get_torch_index_url returns cpu on simulated Darwin
- UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH propagation to both setup.sh branches
Python unit tests (test_no_torch_filtering.py):
- _filter_requirements with NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES
- NO_TORCH env var parsing (true/1/TRUE/false/0/unset)
- IS_MACOS constant check
- Overrides skip and triton macOS skip guards
Python import tests (test_studio_import_no_torch.py):
- data_collators.py loads in isolated no-torch venv
- chat_templates.py has no top-level torch imports
- Negative control confirms import torch fails without torch
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* tests: add E2E sandbox tests for Mac Intel no-torch mode
Replace static/synthetic test stubs with real sandbox tests:
- Shell: E2E uv venv creation at Python 3.12, mock uv shim to verify
torch install is skipped when MAC_INTEL=true, dynamic env propagation
test for UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH in both local and non-local install paths
- Python filtering: test real extras.txt and extras-no-deps.txt with
NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES, subprocess mock of install_python_stack() for
5 platform configs (NO_TORCH+macOS, Windows+NO_TORCH, normal Linux,
Windows-only, macOS-only), VCS URL and env marker edge cases
- Python imports: parametrized Python 3.12+3.13 venv fixture, dataclass
instantiation for all 3 collator classes, chat_templates.py exec with
stubs, negative controls proving import torch and torchao install fail
in no-torch venvs
91 total tests, all passing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* fix: address reviewer findings for Intel Mac no-torch mode
P1 fixes:
- Auto-infer NO_TORCH in install_python_stack.py via platform.machine()
so `unsloth studio update` preserves GGUF-only mode without needing
the UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH env var (6/10 reviewers)
- Add openai-whisper and transformers-cfg to NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES
since both have unconditional torch dependencies (4/10 reviewers)
- Skip unsloth-zoo on Intel Mac --local installs (depends on torch)
in both migrated and fresh install paths (1/10)
- Recreate stale 3.13 venvs as 3.12 on Intel Mac re-runs (1/10)
- Detect Apple Silicon under Rosetta via sysctl hw.optional.arm64
and warn user to use native arm64 terminal (1/10)
P2 fixes:
- Wire new test files into tests/run_all.sh (4/10 reviewers)
- Add update-path tests (skip_base=False) for Intel Mac
- Add _infer_no_torch tests for platform auto-detection
P3 fixes:
- Fix macOS progress bar total (triton step skipped but was counted)
- Fix temp file leak when Windows + NO_TORCH filters stack
All tests pass: 30 shell, 66 Python (96 total).
* feat: add --python override flag to install.sh
Lets users force a specific Python version, e.g. ./install.sh --python 3.12.
Addresses M2 Mac users whose systems resolve to a problematic 3.13.x patch.
When --python is set, the Intel Mac stale-venv guard and 3.13.8 auto-downgrade
are skipped so the user's choice is respected.
* tests: add comprehensive E2E sandbox tests for no-torch mode
Add test_e2e_no_torch_sandbox.py with 7 test groups (43 tests total)
covering the full no-torch import chain, edge cases, and install logic:
- Group 1: BEFORE vs AFTER import chain comparison (proves the bug
existed and the fix works by synthetically prepending top-level torch
imports)
- Group 2: Dataclass instantiation without torch
- Group 3: Edge cases with broken/fake torch modules on sys.path
- Group 4: Hardware detection fallback to CPU without torch
- Group 5: install.sh flag parsing, version resolution, arch detection
- Group 6: install_python_stack.py NO_TORCH filtering
- Group 7: Live server startup without torch (marked @server, skipped
when studio venv is unavailable)
All 43 tests pass on both Python 3.12 and 3.13 isolated venvs.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* feat: add --no-torch flag to install.sh/ps1, fix lazy import bug in dataset formatting
- Fix chat_templates.py: narrow torch IterableDataset import into inner
try/except ImportError so dataset.map() works without torch installed
- Fix format_conversion.py: same lazy import fix for convert_chatml_to_alpaca
and convert_alpaca_to_chatml
- Add --no-torch flag to install.sh with unified SKIP_TORCH variable
(driven by --no-torch flag OR MAC_INTEL auto-detection)
- Add --no-torch flag to install.ps1 with $SkipTorch variable
- Print CPU hint when no GPU detected and --no-torch not set
- Replace MAC_INTEL guards with SKIP_TORCH in torch install sections
- Update shell tests (40 pass) and Python tests (90 pass)
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* fix: address reviewer findings for --no-torch installer paths
- Fix migrated-env branch in install.sh and install.ps1: check
SKIP_TORCH first, then branch on STUDIO_LOCAL_INSTALL. Previously
SKIP_TORCH+non-local fell into else and installed unsloth-zoo (which
depends on torch), defeating --no-torch mode.
- Fix $env:UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH leak in install.ps1: always set to "true"
or "false" instead of only setting on the true branch. Prevents stale
no-torch state from leaking across runs in the same PS session.
- Fix install_python_stack.py update path: add NO_TORCH guard around
base.txt install so unsloth studio update does not reinstall
unsloth-zoo (which depends on torch) in no-torch mode.
* fix: install unsloth + unsloth-zoo with --no-deps in no-torch mode
Instead of skipping unsloth-zoo entirely (which breaks unsloth's
dependency on it), install both packages with --no-deps so they are
present but torch is not pulled in transitively. Applied consistently
across all no-torch paths: migrated-env, fresh-local, fresh-non-local
in install.sh, install.ps1, and install_python_stack.py.
* chore: temporarily remove test files (will be added in a follow-up)
* refactor: deduplicate SKIP_TORCH conditional branches in installers
Collapse if/else blocks that differ only by --no-deps into a single
branch with a conditional flag variable. Applied to migrated-env and
fresh-local paths in install.sh, install.ps1, and install_python_stack.py.
* fix: apply --no-deps to fresh non-local --no-torch install path
The non-local else branch was missing $_no_deps_arg/$noDepsArg, so
uv pip install unsloth would resolve torch from PyPI metadata (the
published unsloth package still declares torch as a hard dep). Now
--no-deps is applied consistently to all SKIP_TORCH code paths.

* fix: handle Windows subprocess crash during dataset.map()
Windows uses spawn (not fork) for multiprocessing. Spawned workers
cannot resolve Unsloth's dynamically compiled cache modules from
unsloth_compiled_cache/, causing ModuleNotFoundError and RuntimeError
during dataset.map() tokenization.
Add two platform-guarded patches for sys.platform == "win32":
1. Force HF_DATASETS_MULTITHREADING_MAX_WORKERS=1 and set spawn method
2. Monkey-patch Dataset.map() to force num_proc=None
Fixes#4490

* address review: extend spawn fix to macOS, add multiprocess fallback
- Change platform checks from sys.platform == "win32" to
sys.platform != "linux" so macOS (also spawn-based) is covered
- Wrap multiprocess import in try/except falling back to stdlib
multiprocessing when the multiprocess package isn't installed
- Rename _win32_safe_map to _spawn_safe_map to reflect broader scope

* fix: replace global Dataset.map monkey-patch with targeted num_proc routing
The previous approach had issues: Patch 1 set HF_DATASETS_MULTITHREADING_MAX_WORKERS
and forced set_start_method (dead code on platforms already using spawn), and Patch 2
globally monkey-patched Dataset.map() (too broad, missed Dataset.filter()).
Replace with a two-layer fix:
1. Studio layer: Add dataset_map_num_proc() that returns None on spawn platforms
(Windows, macOS). Unlike num_proc=1 which still creates Pool(1) and spawns a
worker, num_proc=None runs Dataset.map()/filter() truly in-process.
Update all dataset.map() callsites to use it. ThreadPoolExecutor callers
(format_conversion.py) keep using safe_num_proc() since threads are unaffected.
2. Root-cause layer: Propagate UNSLOTH_COMPILE_LOCATION via PYTHONPATH on spawn
platforms so spawned workers can import compiled modules. Mirrors the .venv_t5
pattern in worker.py. Does not import unsloth_zoo.compiler (heavy torch/triton
imports). Completely skipped on Linux.
Also extend safe_num_proc() to return 1 on macOS (was only guarding Windows),
and narrow the transformers 5.x dataloader guard from != "linux" to explicit
("win32", "darwin").
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* fix: add safe_thread_num_proc() for ThreadPoolExecutor callsites
safe_num_proc() correctly caps to 1 on macOS/Windows for process-based
multiprocessing, but format_conversion.py reuses it for ThreadPoolExecutor
workers. Threads share address space and are unaffected by spawn, so
capping to 1 makes image URL downloads sequential -- a real regression.
Add safe_thread_num_proc() that skips the platform guard but keeps the
cpu_count heuristic, and switch both ThreadPoolExecutor callsites in
format_conversion.py to use it.
* fix: remove double-wrap in dataset_num_proc + fix num_proc=1 in datasets route
- trainer.py:3009: Replace safe_num_proc(max(1, os.cpu_count() // 4))
with max(1, (os.cpu_count() or 1) // 4) to avoid double-wrapping
inside dataset_map_num_proc which already calls safe_num_proc
- trainer.py:15-20: Clarify comment on PYTHONPATH propagation
- datasets.py:445: Change num_proc=1 to num_proc=None for 10-row
preview slice (avoids unnecessary multiprocessing overhead)
* fix: guard os.cpu_count() against None in worker-count helpers
os.cpu_count() can return None on some platforms. Use (os.cpu_count() or 1)
to prevent TypeError in safe_num_proc() and safe_thread_num_proc().
