Review follow-ups on the image-generation PR:
- ControlNet: resolve_controlnet accepts a bare owner/name repo without the
non-GGUF base trust gate, and _controlnet_pipe hands it straight to
from_pretrained. A malicious pickle .bin would deserialize on load, so run
the same Hugging Face malware preflight (evaluate_file_security) the chat and
export loaders use before any remote ControlNet load; local dirs are exempt.
- Dataset thumbnails: key the cache on the full filename instead of the stem so
sample.png and sample.jpg no longer collide on one .thumbs file (which could
serve or delete the wrong image); the delete cleanup globs the same key.
- Diffusion training start: mirror start_training's API-key guard so an API
client cannot start training (which frees VRAM by unloading chat) while an
inference request is streaming; it now returns 409 before any GPU is freed.
- Model picker: include the curated safetensors row keys in the recommended
roving key list so arrow-key navigation reaches those rows instead of hitting
the duplicate option-missing id.
Tests: ControlNet malware gate (remote blocked before from_pretrained, local
skipped), thumbnail same-stem cache separation, API-key diffusion-start 409
before GPU free. Full diffusion suites green.
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.
Replace the with-replacement per-batch index draw in the SDXL and DiT LoRA
trainers with a shared PermutationBatchSampler that visits every image once per
cycle before repeating, so short runs cover the whole dataset. The sampler
reshuffles from the run's rng so the index stream stays seed-deterministic.
Guard the diffusion run detail route against a valid-JSON non-object record,
which previously raised TypeError and returned a 500; it now 404s like the list
path's shape check.
Add regression tests for both.
The run detail route built DiffusionTrainingRunDetail(**rec) unguarded, so a
valid-JSON-but-wrong-shape record (hand-edited or an older schema) would 500
instead of reading as absent. Catch ValidationError and 404, matching how the
list route skips malformed records.
A dual-DiT pipeline (Ideogram 4's unconditional tower) placed its second
denoiser resident under the group tier, which defeats the tier since the
pair rarely fits where one alone did not. Stream transformer_2 and
unconditional_transformer alongside the transformer and keep only the
smaller companions resident.
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.
- Run the trainer's caption discovery in the start route BEFORE freeing GPU
residents, so a missing or uncaptionable dataset 400s without evicting the
loaded chat/Images model.
- sd.cpp unload now waits out a cancelled one-shot generation on the generate
lock before reporting the device free, matching the diffusers backend.
- Clearing a caption that came from metadata.jsonl writes an empty sidecar
tombstone instead of unlinking (both readers treat an existing sidecar as
authoritative), so the cleared label cannot resurface.
- The ControlNet wrapper pipe is only cached while its load is still current,
closing the unload race the model cache already handled.
The prefetch already scopes the file list (no packaged root singles, no
dtype-variant twins, no ONNX/Flax exports), but from_pretrained was then
called with the hub id, and its own snapshot sweep re-downloaded the
skipped files anyway: 24 GB per FLUX.1 repo and 65 GB on FLUX.2-dev, as
found in the blob cache. Return the snapshot dir from the prefetch (keyed
on the pipeline manifest) and hand it to every pipeline-assembly
from_pretrained site; any prefetch failure keeps the hub id and the old
behavior.
- Free reserved VRAM in the diffusion load worker's failure path: a load-time OOM
never commits _state and the next load's _unload_locked early-returns, so nothing
else reclaimed the half-built pipeline's memory
- Use a monotonic clock for the denoise ETA rate
- Sync _GENERATION_DEFAULTS with the UI table: kontext, flux.2-dev, sdxl-turbo and
SDXL base rows so /v1/images/generations stops falling back to 9 steps / CFG 0
- 400 (not sanitized 500) when /v1/images/generations hits an edit-only model
- Fail fast on pre-Ampere CUDA in the DiT trainer instead of dying in model load
- Run the trainer trust gate in the diffusion training route before freeing GPU
residents so an untrusted base cannot tear down loaded chat/Images models
- Protect native sd.cpp companion VAE/text-encoder repos from cache deletion while
a load is downloading them
- Exempt the task-scoped Images picker from the chat-only GGUF/MLX format gate so
local diffusers pipelines stay selectable on no-GPU hosts
