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.
- 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
The wheel-only pip install for an optional attention kernel ran inside
load_pipeline under _lock and _generate_lock, so a slow or hanging install
blocked unload and cancellation for up to the 600s timeout. Resolve and install
the kernel before taking the locks (only an explicit backend ever pulls a
package, and its resolution ignores the speed tier); the in-lock apply call is
then a fast no-op. Also decode and log pip's stderr on a failed install so the
fallback to native is diagnosable instead of showing only the exit code.
The raw speed_mode string was forwarded to _enable_fp16_accumulation, so a
case-variant like MAX failed the speed_mode != SPEED_MAX check and wrongly
disabled fp16 accumulation on float16 pipelines. Forward the normalized mode
and cover the case-insensitive path in the test.
Measured on the fresh linux x64 prebuilt (z-image Q8_0, sd-cli, 192 CPU
threads, 512x512, 9 steps, steady state): sampling 56.1s vs 51.3s (about
9 percent faster), VAE decode unchanged, peak RSS identical. The sd.cpp
engine only serves the no-GPU tier, so the default profile now matches
max: --diffusion-fa plus --diffusion-conv-direct.
