- diffusion_attention: arch-gate FlashAttention 2 to Ampere (SM80)+ in both the
primary selector and the heterogeneous-replica guard (it crashed on pre-Ampere).
- diffusion_cfg_parallel: convert boolean attn masks to additive bias before the direct
cuDNN op so partial masks match F.scaled_dot_product_attention; make proxy disable_cache
transactional (clean both branches, mark broken, surface a reload-required error).
- diffusion_cache: fail closed when a magcache step-count resize or below-threshold
disable cannot remove the old cache; surface a failed enable+cleanup instead of a false
uncached None.
- video: roll back earlier experts when a later expert raises in the all-or-none step-cache
loop; fail the load when the primary-only cache cannot be re-engaged through the
CFG-parallel proxy; validate transformer_cache_quality and cfg_parallel before the worker.
- scripts: place the fp8 ablation pipeline on CUDA; fail closed on a failed magcache resize
in the speedmem bench; label OOM distinctly in the SDPA mask probe.
- tests: regressions for the FA2 arch gate, transactional proxy disable, all-or-none
exception rollback, magcache fail-closed transitions, and enable+cleanup failure.
Publish native sd.cpp generate progress (_gen) before LoRA resolution so a reload probe reads active during setup, matching the diffusers path.
Register the diffusion/video GPU load under the arbiter lock (acquire_for now takes a register callback) so a competing acquire cannot evict an owner before its load is marked in-flight and let two loaders allocate VRAM at once.
Admit local diffusers pipeline folders (root model_index.json, weights in component subdirs) in the local model scan so they reach task tagging and the On Device picker.
Under speed=max the video DiT compiles dynamic=False, so inductor
artifacts are per (width, height, frames). The save path never called
compile_cache.register_shape, so after a bundle hit ctx.saved stayed
true and later resolutions/frame counts never re-dirtied the bundle,
leaving those shapes to recompile on every restart. Register the actual
generation shape before saving, gated on the static tier, mirroring the
image backend.
- diffusion_attention: clear the HunyuanVideo-1.5 null-mask flag with an always_call
post-hook so it is scoped to one hooked forward and never latches across an
exception; add attention_backend_supported_on_device to arch-gate an
already-resolved backend on a specific (heterogeneous) CUDA device.
- video: make the explicit MagCache resize transactional via _step_cache_all_or_none
(refuse to stack a fresh cache over one that could not be disabled; roll a mixed
resize back and report the true state); raise on a failed all-or-none rollback
instead of falsely reporting an uncached pipeline.
- diffusion_cfg_parallel: re-validate the attention backend on the replica device
and pin native there when unsupported; mirror the primary's max tier on the
replica (max-autotune compile + direct QKV fusion) via a new speed_mode arg;
prefer a viable heterogeneous secondary GPU over an unusable identical one; clear
the const cache at each plan_generation.
- diffusion_vae_quant / diffusion_precision: detect a partial diffusers
layerwise-fp8 mutation (leftover casting hooks the torchao detector cannot see)
and fail the load closed, while a clean failure still falls back to dense.
- video_speedmem_bench: engage the dual-expert cache all-or-none like the loader.
- frontend video api: add text_encoder_quant / vae_quant and the auto/off literals
to VideoLoadRequest so typed callers match the backend contract.
install_sd_cpp_prebuilt: only write the .unsloth-studio-owned marker when the
install created the target directory or it was empty. Adopting a pre-existing,
unowned, non-empty directory (a user's own stable-diffusion.cpp checkout) made
it eligible for the uninstaller's recursive delete.
routes/training upload: make the multi-file promotion transactional. Back up
each displaced original and roll every destination back on any failure, so a
mid-loop rename error can no longer partially overwrite the live dataset.
routes/training _resolve_dataset_folder: reject a symlinked dataset directory
and prove the resolved folder stays under the datasets root, so image
read/caption/delete cannot escape the root through a link.
routes/training delete: escape glob metacharacters in the thumbnail filename so
deleting an image named like [ab].png removes only its own thumbnails.
image_gallery / video_gallery listing: filter records against the response
schema inside the pager via a valid callback, so offset/limit/has_more all count
over accepted records. A leading schema-invalid record no longer returns an
empty page with has_more=true and stalls infinite scroll at offset 0.
image_gallery / video_gallery save: publish via a temp file plus atomic rename
(the sidecar is the video pair's commit marker) and clean up on failure, so a
partial write never surfaces a truncated PNG or strands an orphan MP4.
diffusion_train_common discovery: treat an empty caption sidecar as a metadata
tombstone that still falls through to the dreambooth instance prompt, so
clearing every metadata caption no longer fails with no captioned images found.
diffusion backend unload: wait for an in-flight denoise to exit before tearing
down process-wide patches and state, mirroring the load path.
diffusion_engine_router: serialize the whole check/unload/publish transition so
a concurrent selection cannot return the engine being unloaded.
uninstall.ps1: gate the default sd.cpp process stop on the owner marker so a
user's own sd-server is not terminated for a directory we then keep.
generate() assigned self._gen only at the pipe() call, after deferred
compile, LoRA resolution/application, and ControlNet download/build had
run. Across that setup window generate_progress() reported inactive even
though _generate_lock was held, so a reloaded page's mount probe showed
idle and let a second generate queue behind the first.
Publish an active step-0 _GenState the moment the generation lock is
acquired, before the setup work, and clear it in the outer finally so a
setup-time error cannot leave the UI stuck active. Mirrors the video
backend's queued phase and the training start guard.
Route on-device single-checkpoint video folders through the single_file loader:
a bare local .safetensors directory (no model_index.json) is advertised as a
pipeline with no filename, so validation rejected it before it could load.
Reinterpret the pick as a single_file load of the sole checkpoint, mirroring the
image load route.
Treat a reserved-but-not-yet-spawned LLM training start as active in
is_training_active() so /images/load, /video/load, and /diffusion/start cannot
race the reserved run for VRAM during the pre-spawn free window. Mirrors the
diffusion training service reservation.
Resume an in-flight image generation on the Images page mount: probe
generate-progress, re-enter the poll loop, and refresh the gallery on completion
so a run started elsewhere is reflected and its saved image appears without a
manual refresh. Seed resident image defaults from the resolved base_repo rather
than a possibly path-shaped repo_id so the first resident generation uses the
right recipe.
Register the dims the forward actually compiled with: image-conditioned
workflows (img2img, inpaint, upscale, edit) run at the input image's size,
not the slider's, so recording the slider values marked never-compiled
shapes as covered and warm restarts kept paying compile for the real one.
Validate a request-supplied transformer_prequant_path (existence plus the
UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH allowlist) before treating prequant as
available at the resident-fit re-check: an unusable path skipped the dense
fit check up front and then fell back to materializing dense bf16 after
the previous pipeline was evicted, recreating the post-eviction OOM path.
Shared as usable_prequant_source, also used by the auto-policy planner.
* Auto-detect completion masking markers with template table fallback
Studio's train_on_completions previously relied only on the hardcoded
MODEL_TO_TEMPLATE_MAPPER / TEMPLATE_TO_RESPONSES_MAPPER tables and
silently disabled masking when a model was not in the table, so unmapped
models (LFM2-8B-A1B, DeepSeek, and others) trained on full sequences
without telling the user. Several mapped templates (glm, mistral, llama,
starling, zephyr, qwen3-thinking) also carried markers that mask every
assistant token, which made every row drop in the post-masking filter.
Both training callsites (CUDA trainer.py and MLX worker.py) now share
utils.datasets.completion_masking.apply_completion_masking:
- Try unsloth_zoo chat template auto-detection first; it raises loudly
when the template cannot be parsed and never masks the EOS token.
- gpt-oss models keep their manual markers so non-final assistant
<|end|> tokens stay trained, matching current behavior.
- If auto-detection raises, fall back to the template table exactly as
before.
- If the table also misses, emit an explicit user-visible warning that
completion masking could not be applied and full-sequence training
will occur, instead of a quiet log line.
The >30 percent dropped-rows safety net in trainer.py now guards the
auto path as well. Table consumers for inference and chat templates are
unchanged. Validated against one representative tokenizer for every
template in TEMPLATE_TO_RESPONSES_MAPPER plus the unmapped models:
no template regresses; unit tests cover the four decision paths.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Restrict masking fallback to marker detection failures
The auto branch wrapped the whole train_on_responses_only call, so a real
failure while applying the masking (dataset map, tokenization) was treated
as a detection miss and training silently proceeded on full sequences.
Detect markers separately via get_chat_template_parts (test seam via
detect_fn), then apply them with errors propagating, matching the manual
path. Tokenizers with preset unsloth marker attrs skip detection and call
bare so zoo reuses the stored parts.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Fail the run when applying completion masking raises
The helper already falls back internally on detection failures and returns
applied=False on a double miss, so an exception reaching the callsites is a
real failure applying the masking. Remove the callsite catches that
downgraded it to full-sequence training; the run now fails visibly instead.
Also use the explicit re-export alias form in utils/datasets/__init__.py for
the two new names, satisfying the import-hoist source lint.
* Import completion masking from its submodule
The import-hoist source lint counts only real name loads, so package-level
re-exports of the two new names cannot satisfy it. Import
apply_completion_masking from utils.datasets.completion_masking directly at
both callsites and leave utils/datasets/__init__.py untouched.
* Completion masking: gpt-oss renames and MLX raw/alpaca parity
Renamed or private gpt-oss checkpoints are name-detected as gpt-oss but miss
the exact-name table; default them to the gpt-oss template markers instead of
falling through to full-sequence training.
Gate the MLX masking call on not raw_text_mode and format_type != alpaca,
mirroring the CUDA path: raw/CPT text has no chat turns to mask and
Alpaca-rendered text lacks the tokenizer's chat markers.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Define raw_text_mode outside the MLX feature-detect block
With an older zoo lacking the append_eos config field, the masking
gate referenced raw_text_mode before assignment. Hoist the assignment
above the feature detection so both consumers see it.
* Gate MLX masking on the formatter's resolved format
format_type auto can resolve to alpaca or raw text; the masking skip
checked only the requested value, so auto-detected Alpaca data got
chat-template markers applied to rendered prompt text. Track the
final_format returned by format_and_template_dataset and gate on it,
matching the CUDA path.
* Unwrap the mlx-lm TokenizerWrapper before marker checks
The wrapper delegates plain reads to the wrapped HF tokenizer but hides
underscore attrs, so preset unsloth markers were invisible and detection
relied on the loader's call patch. Unwrap to the real tokenizer first,
as the zoo MLX resolver does.
* Tighten masking comments
* gpt-oss: auto-detect markers first like every other template
The quantized and BF16 gpt-oss checkpoints ship a chat template without
the channel final header, so the pinned manual markers match nothing
there and masking trained zero tokens. Auto-detection derives markers
from whichever template the checkpoint ships and keeps the final
terminator trained; the manual gpt-oss markers remain the detection
failure fallback, including for renamed checkpoints.

- Wan2.2-A14B step cache: pin the balanced FBCache threshold to 0.08 even when
quant is active (per-family override in diffusion_cache.py). Auto-fp8 made the
generic quant promotion (0.12) the family's effective default at pairwise LPIPS
0.128, over the 0.08 quality gate the balanced preset is held to. Measured
operating point with fp8 actually engaged (1280x720/81f/50 steps, B200):
fb@0.08 = 1.08x at 0.129 vs the old fb@0.12 = 2.58x at 0.181; documented in
the preset table. Explicit thresholds and the fast preset are unaffected.
- MagCache curves: validated the shipped 33-frame calibrations at the production
121-frame default for hunyuanvideo-1.5-720p, hunyuanvideo-1.5 (480p) and
wan2.2-ti2v-5b. Fresh 121-frame calibrations differ by <= 0.024 max abs entry
and produce byte-identical frames at the auto presets (hv720 quality 1.69x at
LPIPS 0.042, hv480 quality 1.66x at 0.018, wan5b balanced 1.74x at 0.026, all
pairwise vs the same-load uncached stack), so the curves ship unchanged with
the frame-count transfer documented next to them.
- Dual-GPU CFG parallelism: the secondary-device pick now prefers a device whose
name and compute capability match the primary, and the gate declines a
mismatched pair in auto mode (eager kernel selection is arch-dependent, so the
advertised bit-identity cannot hold across different GPU models); an explicit
cfg_parallel=on proceeds but is downgraded to lossless=False with a warning.
- A14B expert step cache is now all-or-none, mirroring the transactional quant
loop: a mixed outcome (cache engaged on one expert but not the other) is
rolled back and reported uncached with the failure reason, on both the load
path and the generation-time auto toggle.
- Partial torchao quantization is no longer reported as dense: after an
in-place quantize_/caster failure, the DiT / text encoder / VAE is scanned
for leftover torchao tensor-subclass parameters and the load fails with a
clear error when any are found (a half-quantized module cannot run as dense,
and offload's Module.to() crashes on torchao tensors). Failures that swapped
nothing keep the best-effort dense fallback.
- Cleanup: apply_attention_backend / apply_speed_optims / the attention trim
are called once on the pipe (they already fan out over every DiT internally),
so the second A14B expert no longer passes through them twice; the stale
dual-DiT helper comment is rewritten to match the two helper shapes.
Tests: device-identity picker/gate/lossy-plan coverage, per-family threshold
pin scoping, all-or-none rollback in both failure directions, and partial-quant
detection for all three quant modules.
The prewarm registered its cancel event in _active_generate_cancel, but a
begin_generate arriving mid-warmup overwrote that slot with its own event
and then queued its worker behind the full warmup on _generate_lock. From
that point unload and cancel_generate signalled the wrong event, so the
warmup could no longer be aborted and the first real request waited out
the 9-54s the prewarm exists to hide.
Track the prewarm's event in a dedicated _prewarm_cancel slot (cleared
identity-checked alongside _active_generate_cancel) and signal it from
begin_generate before registering the real job's event, and from direct
generate() calls that skip begin_generate. The warmup then aborts at its
next step boundary and the real job takes the lock, while unload/cancel
keep working against whichever run is actually active.
vLLM and SGLang finish every compilation at server startup (dummy batches
through each compiled shape) so no request ever pays a compile mid-serving.
The video backend's compiled tier instead paid a first-generation extra after
every restart: ~54 s cold and ~11.3 s even with a warm Mega-cache bundle (the
residual is dynamo tracing plus cudnn.benchmark autotune, which the bundle
cannot carry).
After a compiled DEFAULT-tier resident load commits, a daemon thread now runs
one tiny throwaway generation (192x128 snapped, 4k+1-lattice 9 frames, 2
steps) under the generate lock. The default tier compiles dynamic=True, so
the small trace serves every later resolution. Measured through the real
backend (HunyuanVideo-1.5-480p, B200, 480x288/17f/30 steps):
warm bundle: first-generation extra 11.3 s -> 2.1 s (9.6 s background warmup)
cold start: the full compile moves off the user's first request entirely
(14.5 s background; first generation extra 2.1 s), and the
warmup persists the Mega-cache bundle itself
steady state: unchanged (2.4-2.5 s per 30-step clip in every phase)
Exactly lossless by construction: the warmup only changes when compilation
work happens. It resets its step-cache residuals, the real generation seeds
its own generator, and no process-wide flag is touched.
The warmup registers itself as the active cancellable job, so unload, a new
load, or cancel_generate abort it at a step boundary (verified: unload 2 s
into a running prewarm returns in 6.7 s with the warmup cancelled). It yields
untouched when a real request arrived first and is token-scoped against
superseded loads. Gated per family (supports_compile_prewarm), skipped for
speed=max (static per-shape graphs a warmup shape cannot serve), offload
(every warmup forward would stream the DiT over PCIe), and CFG parallel (its
planner owns compile-sensitive runs); the UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_COMPILE_PREWARM
kill switch disables it. The decision and reason land in the resolved record.
Tests: +4 hermetic (decision gates, engaged-load spawn with snapped tiny
shape, skip-without-compile, yield to generations / stale tokens); related
backend set 551 passed; ruff clean.
diffusion_compile_cache: auto mode now saves the Mega-cache bundle after the
first compiled generation (UNSLOTH_DIFFUSION_COMPILE_CACHE_SAVE=0 opts out), so
users get warm restarts without the distributor env; a bundle hit starts clean
(no pointless rewrite of the just-loaded artifacts) and explicit mode 1/on keeps
the distributor-style re-save. New register_shape + manifest shape coverage: a
STATIC compile produces new artifacts per (width, height, batch), so the
generate path registers each generation's shape and an uncovered shape
re-dirties the context, growing the bundle to cover every shape the session
used. Measured (B200, real backend): Qwen-Image deferred gen-3 hitch 29.1 ->
22.2 s warm with bit-identical output (7.9 MB bundle, ~0.5 s save); SDXL gen-3
115.7 -> 24.7 s and a mid-session 768px recompile 65.8 -> 12.6 s (bundle 63.6 ->
98.7 MB after the 768 re-save).
diffusion_speed: U-Net denoisers (UNet2DConditionModel; no _repeated_blocks, so
the regional compile never reached them) now get a whole-module STATIC
torch.compile on the default tier, plus fused QKV projections and a compiled VAE
decode. Measured on SDXL (30 steps / 7.0 / 1024px, 4 prompts, LPIPS vs the
bit-exact reference): 6.16 -> 3.14 s end to end (1.96x) at LPIPS 0.035, steady
state 0.70-0.88 s/image through the real backend. Rejected on measurement:
dynamic=True whole-module (366 s compile for 39.3 ms/step vs static's 73 s for
26.9), regional BasicTransformerBlock only (45.0 ms/step; ResNet convs stay
eager), max-autotune + inductor flags (25.9 ms/step for a 445 s warmup),
channels-last UNet alone (neutral). DiT tiers unchanged: fused QKV measured
exactly neutral under the regional compile (Qwen-Image 6.53 vs 6.52 s), so it
stays max-only there, and the DiT VAE decode stays eager (a few % of a DiT
generation). compiled_shapes_are_static tells the cache layer which loads are
per-shape (max tier, U-Net whole-module).
diffusion: register each generation's shape with the compile cache before the
save, pass pipe.unet to the cache fingerprint when the pipe has no transformer,
and correct the transformer_quant resolved reason on dense loads (it claimed a
GGUF transformer was loaded on every non-quantized pipeline load).
Tests: 333 passing across the related suites (speed 42, compile_cache 27, cache
40, precision 20, backend, base_precision, transformer_quant, memory); ruff
clean. Full measurement record: outputs/image_optim_round2_audit.md.
Every current release of the kernels package (0.13 through 0.16) builds its
dependency tables with huggingface_hub >= 1.0's strict-dataclass API, and with
an older hub the breakage is not contained to the requested backend: import
kernels raises at module scope, and diffusers imports kernels whenever it is
installed, so a single on-demand install (an explicit flash3/flash4 attention
request on a stack pinned to hub < 1.0) permanently breaks every later
diffusers pipeline import on the box until the package is removed. Reproduced
against hub 0.36.2 with kernels 0.13.0 and 0.16.0: the HunyuanVideo-1.5
pipeline import dies in hub's strict-dataclass validator both times.
_ensure_attention_backend_installed now checks the resident hub version before
installing kernels (_kernels_hub_compatible) and refuses on < 1.0, logging why
and falling back to the native default, which is the best-effort contract the
installer already promises for an uninstallable wheel. The refusal is a policy
decision, not a failed attempt, so it is not memoised and a later request on a
fixed environment can still install. An undeterminable hub version keeps the
previous permissive behaviour, and the gate applies only to the kernels
package: sage/flash-attn/xformers wheels do not import hub at module scope.
Tests: the refusal (nothing memoised), the hub >= 1.0 allow, the
package-scoping, and the version-parse fallback.
The pre-warmed torch.compile cache (diffusion_compile_cache.py: fingerprinted
bundles over torch.compiler.save/load_cache_artifacts plus a persistent per-key
TORCHINDUCTOR_CACHE_DIR) was wired into the image backend only, so every video
load re-paid the full first-generation compile after every process restart (the
stock inductor dir lives in /tmp).
video.py now mirrors the image backend exactly: compile_cache.begin runs after
the attention-backend set (the fingerprint keys on the engaged kernel) and
before apply_speed_optims on a compile-eligible default/max tier, keyed on the
same fullgraph decision as the compile itself (an engaged or still-toggleable
step cache and a planned offload both drop it); the context is committed to
_VideoLoadState and compile_cache.save persists the bundle after the first
successful generation (env-gated distributor / first-run-warm mode);
_teardown_state restores the inductor dir, and a token-scoped
_rollback_precommit_compile_cache covers loads that die before the state
commit, mirroring the globals and CFG-parallel rollbacks.
Measured on HunyuanVideo-1.5-480p through the real VideoBackend (B200,
480x288/17f/30 steps): the first-generation extra drops from 107.5 s cold to
13.8 s when the 12.8 MB bundle loads into a fresh inductor dir (0.10 s load)
and to 11.7 s from the persistent per-key dir alone; through the wired
production path a restart lands at 10.5-10.8 s (bundle-only included) vs
86.5 s cold. Steady state is unchanged (2.4-2.6 s), and the loaded artifacts
are the same bits a local compile would produce, so numerics are untouched.
Tests: begin/save/restore lifecycle with the fullgraph keying, the Speed=off
and compile-ineligible skips, and the token-scoped pre-commit rollback.
Speed=off is the reference contract: the loaders pin every auto speed
lever (transformer/TE/VAE quant tri-states) to off, but the cfg_parallel
auto path never consulted speed_active, so a resident two GPU
HunyuanVideo-1.5 load with Speed=off could still reserve a second GPU
and install the CFG-parallel proxy. Auto now returns off when
speed_active is false; an explicit cfg_parallel=on stays honored as a
deliberate override (the install-failure test now exercises exactly
that override path).
Only settle the CFG-parallel dispatch key after a run that actually routed
the replica: a guidance-near-1 generation disables the overlap without
warming the replica, so its completed key must not unlock thread dispatch
for the next CFG-enabled run at the same shape (that first compile has to
stay serialized).
Restore the process-global thread-safe cuDNN attention patch when the
CFG-parallel install fails after the patch landed: no proxy is committed on
that path, so teardown would never reach it and later single-device
generations would keep running the direct aten replacement.
Tear down a CFG-parallel proxy installed by a load that is cancelled or
fails before the _VideoLoadState commit: the proxy owns a daemon worker,
the DiT replica's VRAM, and possibly the cuDNN patch. The load stashes the
proxy pre-commit and _run_load's error handler rolls it back, token-scoped
exactly like the speed-globals rollback.
Re-engage an EXPLICIT magcache choice when the actual step count differs
from the configured one, so the ratio curve, retention window, and skip
budget are re-interpolated over the real schedule (the on/off choice never
changes); auto already re-engaged via maybe_toggle_step_cache. The step
marker comparison uses endswith so #s5 cannot match inside #s50.
Bench fidelity: the e2e auto row quantizes companions before CUDA placement
(mirroring the loader, so load_peak_gb records the measured configuration),
the video bench clears step-cache residuals before every generation exactly
like VideoBackend.generate, and the image-interface dit/e2e modes reject
video families with a pointer to video_speedmem_bench.py.
Extends the HunyuanVideo-1.5 round-1/2 optimization levers to wan2.2-ti2v-5b,
wan2.2-t2v-a14b (dual-expert MoE) and ltx-2, shipping only what beats the
incumbent on the measured accuracy-speed frontier (B200, LPIPS(AlexNet)
pairwise vs the same uncached compiled stack at identical seed/settings).
- Wan2.2-TI2V-5B auto step cache switches FBCache to calibrated MagCache:
balanced (0.12, 3, 0.2) measures 1.65x at pairwise LPIPS 0.034 vs the
incumbent FBCache 0.08 at 1.49x/0.031, and 1.73x/0.044 vs 1.71x/0.083 at
the fast points (FBCache error grows unboundedly past its threshold while
MagCache's budget caps it). A 50-step calibrated curve ships; cond/uncond
branches agree within 0.0008 so one curve serves both CFG contexts.
- Per-expert MagCache plumbing for dual-expert MoEs: the experts split the
schedule at the boundary timestep (Wan2.2-A14B: 16 + 34 of 50) and the hook
counts each expert's own forwards from 0, so a shared full-schedule curve
would be misaligned for both. apply_step_cache / maybe_toggle_step_cache /
the loader now thread an expert name; a second expert resolves
family::transformer_2 curves and sub-curves scale their configured step
count by steps/50. Single-DiT behaviour unchanged.
- Wan2.2-A14B keeps FBCache: with per-expert curves, FBCache 0.12 at
2.88x/0.128 dominates balanced MagCache (1.80x/0.145) and FBCache 0.08 sits
at 1.28x/0.098; the 16-step high-noise expert starves MagCache's skip
budget. No calibrated curve ships, so an explicit magcache request runs
uncached with a warning instead of engaging a measured-worse mode.
- Wan2.2-A14B TE auto quant resolves dense: TE fp8_dynamic alone costs
pairwise LPIPS 0.1195 for a 1.03x once-per-generation encode (146.7 to
142.7 s e2e). Wan2.2-TI2V-5B shares the UMT5 encoder but stays quantized
(0.0396 pairwise at a real 1.09x on its much faster DiT).
- LTX-2 TE fp8_dynamic family-denied: torchao per-row compute fp8 on the
Gemma3-27B encoder black-frames the whole clip (mean luma 137.9 to 0.0,
LPIPS 0.78; reproduced compiled and eager), while layerwise fp8 is
near-lossless (pairwise 0.0043) at the same shrink, so auto falls through
to it and explicit fp8_dynamic requests are refused.
- LTX-2 step caching deliberately stays unregistered, now documented on
_EXTRA_BLOCK_METADATA: the block returns a joint (video, audio) stream pair
and both cache hook families would substitute text embeddings into the
audio slot on every skipped step; a dual-stream cache is required, and the
distilled checkpoints run below FBCACHE_MIN_STEPS anyway.
- Compile parity (emulate_precision_casts) verified family-neutral and kept
global: wan5b 1.75x/0.0029 on vs 1.54x/0.0082 off; ltx2 1.308x/0.0013 vs
1.307x/0.0025; a14b 2711 vs 2717 ms/step. Cache-hook compile arming
verified to generalize (wan5b fb@0.04 armed 1.216x vs raw 1.048x). Dual-GPU
CFG stays HunyuanVideo-1.5-only: LTX-2 runs batch-CFG in one forward and
the Wan pipelines consume each branch inline with no guider combine hook.
- video_speedmem_bench gains epc_off (compile-parity isolation) and
fbcache_explicit / magcache_explicit configs plus expert-aware cache
application mirroring the loader.
Measured via scripts/video_speedmem_bench.py and the round-3 single-load
probes; full data and per-family decision table in
outputs/video_families_optim_round3.md (workspace). Tests: 235 passing across
the five video inference suite files (9 new: per-expert curve resolution and
step scaling, uncalibrated-expert refusal, toggle expert threading, wan5b
magcache auto load/toggle, ltx2 deny auto+explicit, a14b TE auto-dense);
ruff clean.
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.
Cuts the shipped default's LPIPS vs the bit-exact reference from 0.224 to 0.139
while going faster (24.9 s to 21.2 s at 720p/33f/30 steps, 22.7x vs reference),
and makes the remaining speed/accuracy trade a user knob.
- inductor precision parity: set emulate_precision_casts=True for the regional
compile (fused pointwise kernels kept fp32 intermediates where eager rounds to
bf16 between ops); full-clip LPIPS vs bit-exact 0.221 to 0.052 at zero speed
cost. Snapshot/restored with the other process-wide backend flags.
- cache x compile composition fix: diffusers cache hooks are
torch.compiler.disable'd, so every COMPUTED step ran eager (1.69 vs 1.09
s/step) under MagCache/FBCache in both enable orders. Re-point each 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 so the uncached path stays pristine). Balanced MagCache at 50
steps: 1.48x to 2.17x, identical skip counts, bit-identical uncached rerun
after enable/disable cycles.
- transformer_cache_quality knob (quality|balanced|fast; API + UI + bench)
mapping to (threshold, max_skip_steps, retention_ratio). Auto resolves to the
near-lossless quality preset (0.06, 2, 0.3; 1.63-1.64x at pairwise LPIPS
0.05-0.09) for the HunyuanVideo-1.5 families and to balanced (the pre-knob
values, byte-identical behaviour) everywhere else.
- TE auto-quant resolves dense for HunyuanVideo-1.5: TE fp8_dynamic alone moves
the clip to LPIPS 0.236 vs bit-exact for zero speed win (the quantised encoder
perturbs the conditioning and the trajectory amplifies it chaotically); VAE
fp8 stays in auto (0.053, at the compile floor). Explicit schemes honored.
- dual-GPU CFG branch parallelism (new diffusion_cfg_parallel.py): transformer
proxy + DiT replica on the most-free second CUDA device + worker thread,
branch-routed off the pipeline's own cache_context names. Auto engages only
where measured bit-identical (eager tier: max abs diff 0.0, 1.66x); the
compiled stack is explicit cfg_parallel=on (1.52x over the sequential
default; per-device compiled artifacts differ by 1 bf16 ulp/step, documented
in the resolved record). Fail-soft gates: family allowlist, guider CFG,
pipeline kind, dense DiT, no offload, free-VRAM check; single-GPU loads are
untouched and the memory plan stays single-device.
- video API: the transformer_cache literal now accepts auto/magcache (an
explicit magcache request was rejected at the pydantic layer); the mxfp8
family deny records the round-2 measurement (block-32 MX scaling fixes the
zero-row collapse, no black frames, but is latency-neutral at LPIPS 0.37:
fails both ship bars).
Measured on B200 via the production lever path (video_speedmem_bench.py, which
gained a --cache-quality lever and companion-quant isolation configs). Tests:
441 passing across the video inference suite (32 new for cfg-parallel, 20 for
presets/arming, 3 for the inductor flag, 2 for TE auto-dense); ruff clean.
HunyuanVideo-1.5 loads previously logged 'fbcache unavailable (Model class
HunyuanVideo15TransformerBlock not registered)': diffusers 0.39 ships FBCache
block metadata for HunyuanVideo 1.0 but not 1.5, although the 1.5 DiT is fully
cache-shaped (CacheMixin, homogeneous residual-additive dual-stream blocks,
cache_context per guidance branch). Register the missing metadata at engage
time (deferring to a native registration when a future diffusers ships one).
Measured on a B200 (720p t2v, 1280x720, 33 frames, seed 42), FBCache is fast
but not shippable for this family: 1.44x at 30 steps / 2.41x at 50 steps, at
LPIPS 0.43-0.54 vs the same uncached stack with a +5..8 luma drift (no skip
cap or error budget, so the trajectory derails into a different clip). MagCache
(same registry metadata, also dispatched via enable_cache) is bounded by
design and lands the win: 1.49x end-to-end at 50 steps at LPIPS 0.147 with the
same composition, 1.21x at LPIPS 0.071 on the 480p model. Ship magcache as the
per-family AUTO cache mode for hunyuanvideo-1.5 / -720p with 50-step
calibrated per-family mag_ratios (cond/uncond curves agree within 0.014,
30 vs 50-step calibration within 0.027 after interpolation); every other
family keeps fbcache, and explicit fbcache/magcache requests are honored.
The auto toggle re-engages magcache on a step-count change so the ratio curve
is re-interpolated over the actual schedule.
Two production bugs fixed along the way:
- diffusers' HookRegistry caches its child-registry list, so enabling a cache
AFTER any uncached generation (the auto off-to-on toggle) left the new block
hooks without a context ('No context is set' on the first cached forward).
Invalidate the stale cache after every enable_cache.
- An explicit int8 DiT request crashed under the padded-text trim: torchao's
int8 dynamic path returns a zero-token (M=0) input unprojected (t2v byt5 /
image streams -> cond-type add shape crash) and torch._int_mm requires
M > 16 (an empty negative prompt trims to ~6 tokens -> TokenRefiner crash).
Add per-family int8 excludes for the text-stream linears (context_embedder*,
image_embedder, add_q/k/v_proj, to_add_out, ff_context); they run at tens of
tokens vs the ~32k video stream, so the exclusion costs nothing measurable.
Bench: trim lever key (trim_off / eager_trim isolation configs), int8_cudnn +
shipped_nocache rows, --cache-threshold, warmup timing, per-config frame
persistence for offline LPIPS rescoring, and the loader's per-family auto
cache mode mirrored. Full 720p matrix recorded: reference 481.6s ->
trim+cudnn+compile 35.4s -> shipped default with TE/VAE quant + magcache
24.9s (19.4x, peak VRAM 89.4 -> 81.8 GB), int8 latency-neutral (dense auto
policy confirmed), compile 1.56x per step, trim 13.5x per step at production
shapes.
Validated end to end through the real VideoBackend: load resolves
transformer_cache=magcache with trim + compile + cudnn, generation
re-interpolates 50 -> 30 steps, auto-disengages below 20 steps, re-engages
after an uncached generation, unload restores globals. Hermetic tests cover
the registration, the child-cache invalidation, magcache engage/threshold/
no-curve/no-steps paths, auto-mode routing, toggle re-interpolation, and the
family int8 excludes.
POST /video/generate previously held the response open for the whole
generation (multi-minute for 720p), so in --secure mode the Cloudflare
quick tunnel's ~100s origin-response cap returned a 524 while the server
kept generating, and the frontend treated the run as failed.
Generation now follows the same return-at-once pattern as /video/load:
begin_generate validates synchronously (409 on no model or on a second
concurrent generate via a new busy sentinel) and runs the existing
generate + gallery-persist pipeline, with the route's exact error
mapping, on a daemon thread. GET /video/generate-progress gains optional
terminal fields: phase completed carries the saved gallery record, phase
failed a client-safe error; active only drops together with a terminal
phase. The cancel event is registered before the worker starts so
/video/generate/cancel keeps working across the whole job.
VideoGenerateResponse becomes an accepted acknowledgement (status
started, video kept as an always-null compat field). The video page
fires the POST, then drives completion off the progress poll it already
runs (completed prepends the clip, failed surfaces the error, the
cancelled sentinel stays toast-free). The API-key training-start guards
now also probe the video backend for an in-flight background clip, since
it is no longer visible as an in-flight HTTP request to the keep-warm
counter.
Route tests keep the fake backend for load/generate/status but inherit
the real job machinery, covering immediate accept, concurrent 409, the
terminal completed record, sanitized/ValueError/cancelled failures, and
cancel of a running job.
The fp8_dynamic conv smoke probe only exercised Conv2d, so a torchao build
whose Conv3d kernel path is missing or broken would pass the probe for a
video VAE (HunyuanVideo-1.5), report it quantized, and crash at the first
decode. The probe now runs per (device, conv ndim) and an explicit request
must pass it for every conv dimensionality the target VAE contains; the
auto ladder gate inspects the VAE the same way when one is provided.
The video benchmark moved the fully dense pipeline to CUDA before applying
the configured quant/optimisation levers, the reverse of the production
loader (video.py quantizes before apply_memory_plan). Dense-oversized
configs could OOM where the shipped quantized path loads fine, and
load_peak_gb recorded the dense placement. The bench now builds on CPU,
applies the levers, then places on CUDA and captures the load peak.
Run backend.start_training off the event loop with asyncio.to_thread so the
synchronous diffusion/video unload calls (which wait on engine generation
locks) cannot freeze concurrent requests; guard against overlapping starts
with a _start_in_progress compare-and-set under the service lock.
Resolve bare diffusion dataset names directly under datasets_root() before
falling back to the generic resolver, so an unrelated LLM upload file or
recipe folder sharing the name cannot shadow the image dataset.
Reject exact duplicate filenames within one multipart upload batch: two
parts staged to the same destination would let the later tmp.replace
silently discard the earlier file. Case variants stay exempt per the
existing stem-guard contract.
Require an instance prompt in the train panel when only some images have
captions, since backend discovery silently skips uncaptioned images.
Review round follow-ups:
- Drop the machine-specific HF_HOME defaults from the four bench /
reproduction scripts (fp8_layer_ablation, hunyuan_int8_profile,
quant_accuracy_sweep, video_speedmem_bench); they pointed at a private
workspace cache and broke the scripts on any other machine. The
standard HF_HOME env override still applies.
- Correct the vae_quant 'auto' descriptions (image + video request
fields, select_vae_quant_scheme docstring, loader comment) to match
the shipped ladder: auto engages layerwise fp8 only; fp8_dynamic is an
explicit opt-in and is never picked automatically.
- Enforce _TE_FAMILY_SCHEME_DENY on the explicit text-encoder path too,
gating the final concrete mode (so an int8 -> fp8 fallback is
re-checked), matching the table's documented contract and the VAE
module's behavior. Covered by a new test.
Also merges origin/image-generation (single-GPU fit-budget fix) to keep
the stacked head self-consistent.
