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.
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.
A 28-pair accuracy gate on a B200 (same-seed vs the dense bf16 reference)
found per-row fp8 dynamic quant renders EVERY qwen-image frame black
(mean luma 0.0000, SSIM 0.016), reproduced identically with on-the-fly
quantize_ on the dense transformer, so it is the model's activation range,
not a checkpoint artifact. mxfp8 shows real semantic damage at 1024px
(CLIP delta mean 0.0146, worst cases 0.064/0.102) and nvfp4 measures
LPIPS mean 0.51. int8 dynamic (per-token scales) is excellent on Qwen:
LPIPS mean 0.069, SSIM 0.958.
The per-scheme smoke probe only proves the GEMM kernel runs, so it cannot
catch model-level breakage. Add _FAMILY_SCHEME_DENY consulted by
select_transformer_quant_scheme: auto skips denied schemes (Qwen lands on
int8) and an explicit denied request returns None, the same GGUF-fallback
contract as an unsupported scheme. Family is threaded from the three
diffusion.py call sites; existing behavior is unchanged for every other
family. 4 new tests; 529 diffusion tests green; CI-sim green.
The always-visible description under the select is gone (the hint tooltip keeps the
full detail) and the no-model gallery placeholder now reads 'Select a diffusion model
to load'.
The fp16-on-bf16-family refusal in run_dit_lora_training now fires before the heavy
imports, so a host without diffusers gets the real validation error instead of
ModuleNotFoundError. test_in_progress_returns_409_after_validation_passes pins the
resolved device to cuda because the load route only takes the GPU arbiter for non-CPU
loads, which made the ownership assert host-dependent.
num_epochs was only int-coerced for the range check, so a string value
from a dict-built config would reach resolve_train_steps' arithmetic;
normalized() now stores the coerced int. Run record reads/writes pass
encoding utf-8 explicitly so non-ASCII prompts survive on Windows
- Trainers emit the pre-clip gradient norm; the service keeps a bounded
grad_norm history and the Train tab renders a Grad Norm chart next to
Loss and LR
- Completed runs show 'Training complete' with a celebratory marker in
the success color instead of a plain status word
- metadata.jsonl caption keys now match on Windows (as_posix relative
paths) in both the trainer discovery and the dataset image records
- RMSNorm eager patch skips installation on torch builds without
F.rms_norm instead of failing at forward time
- GGUF compute description no longer says the GGUF is dequantised: the
INT8/FP8/FP4 modes load the base model's bf16 transformer and quantise
that directly; label no longer wraps in the Advanced panel
- list_diffusion_runs skips wrong-shape records and the runs route tolerates
per-record ValidationError so one bad file never breaks the panel
- max_steps: 0 epoch-mode sentinel no longer trips train_steps validation
before epochs are resolved
- numberField keeps an explicit 0 (Seed, LR warmup) instead of falling back
- previous-runs list refetches once more shortly after a terminal status so
the just-finished run appears even if the record write races the fetch
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
- Unload the ACTIVE image engine (sd_cpp or diffusers) before diffusion training starts, not just the diffusers singleton
- Count metadata.jsonl captions in dataset summaries so metadata-captioned datasets are not reported as uncaptioned
- Sidecar captions now override metadata rows everywhere (grid edits win); trainer and dataset API agree
- Tag local diffusers image checkpoints with text-to-image so they appear in the Images picker
- Family LoRA targets (_FLUX_TARGETS etc) apply when the config carries the generic defaults; explicit overrides still win
