torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported() defaults to counting pre-Ampere bf16 EMULATION as
supported, so on a T4/V100/RTX 20xx the DiT-training bf16 gates all passed even
though the trainer requires native Ampere-or-newer bf16: /diffusion/info advertised
the DiT precision modes, /diffusion/start's preflight let the run through and freed
resident GPU models, then the trainer child hit the real unsupported bf16 path. The
inference device resolver already fixed this (issue #6658) by gating NVIDIA on
capability major >= 8; the training path never got it. Add a shared
native_bf16_supported() helper (NVIDIA cap major >= 8; ROCm keeps the trustworthy
is_bf16_supported()) and use it in the three DiT bf16 sites -- train_precision_modes,
bf16_unsupported_reason, and the trainer guard -- so a pre-Ampere card is offered
nf4 only and never advertises/evicts-then-fails. Tests now exercise the emulation
case (is_bf16_supported True but capability < 8).
The SDXL trainer drew min(train_batch_size, len(pairs)) indices, so a dataset with
fewer images than the batch trained at a smaller effective batch than configured
while the scheduler and samples-per-second still assumed the full batch. The shared
PermutationBatchSampler already refills across permutation cycles to return exactly k
indices, and the DiT trainer calls it with the full batch size, so drop the clamp and
pass train_batch_size through for parity and to honor the configured batch.
Two evict/corruption fixes surfaced by review of the diffusion training path:
- krea-2 sets force_bf16 in the DiT trainer spec, but the route-level
_FORCE_BF16_FAMILIES preflight listed only qwen-image and z-image, so a
krea-2 start with mixed_precision=fp16 passed the route check, reserved
training and evicted resident GPU models, and only the child trainer then
raised. Add krea-2 to the set and a drift-guard test asserting it equals
the trainer specs whose force_bf16 is set.
- The dataset-upload same-stem duplicate check compared stems
case-sensitively, so on case-insensitive filesystems (Windows / default
macOS) sample.png and Sample.jpg both passed even though their caption
sidecars sample.txt / Sample.txt resolve to the same file, silently
sharing and corrupting one caption. Compare stems and the same-name guard
with casefold at both the on-disk and in-batch sites.
Fold PR #6872's image-generation fixes into the branch, deduped against the
round-12 dataset-upload and gallery integrity work already on image-generation.
Fixes carried forward from #6872:
- fp8 single-file transformer memory estimate: an fp8 checkpoint loads with no
quantization_config and diffusers upcasts it to bf16 (~2x resident), so budget
it accordingly in _plan_memory and estimate_safetensors_dense_mib.
- dense-quant OOM-evict preflight: when the GGUF fits resident but the dense bf16
transformer this path materializes does not, skip the fast path up front rather
than evict the current pipeline and OOM in finalization. Combined with the
existing offload->resident candidate re-plan so both the family-table estimate
and the on-disk shard measurement gate engagement (unified on the
transformer_resident_override_mib plan override).
- ControlNet: evict the previous module and its from_pipe wrapper before loading a
new one so swapping ControlNets within a base-model load cannot accumulate to OOM.
- ControlNet union_control_mode: raise on an unknown control type instead of
silently defaulting to canny.
- edit-family mask rejection: raise instead of silently dropping a mask on an
image-editing model that has no inpaint pipeline.
- companion cache: walk the snapshot dir and exclude transformer/ so the
dense-quant prefetch's cached shards do not inflate the companion total and
wrongly force offload.
- training: drop piecewise_constant from the LR scheduler enum and force bf16 for
fp16-incompatible families.
- dataset upload: batch-atomic staging with the same-stem duplicate guard.
- images page: guard negative-prompt restore on guidance>0, clear stale ControlNet
selection on restore, and revert an optimistic quant label when a pipeline load
never starts.
- uninstall (sh + ps1): keep the owner-marker guard on sd.cpp removal.
Conflicts resolved in favour of image-generation's evolved memory system,
loadSpecFor catalog, and stop-and-save (lora_path) run detection; #6872's fp8 and
dense-preflight fixes carried forward on top. All affected backend tests pass
(test_diffusion_backend, test_diffusion_training, test_diffusion_lora_trainer,
test_video_gallery, test_diffusion_controlnet).
piecewise_constant is the only diffusers scheduler that needs a step_rules string, and
neither diffusion trainer passes one (get_scheduler is called with only warmup/training
steps, and there is no config field for it). Accepting it let /diffusion/start pass
normalized(), free the resident GPU workloads, spawn the trainer, and only then crash in
the subprocess (get_piecewise_constant_schedule does step_rules.split(",") on None) -- the
exact evict-then-fail the up-front validation exists to prevent. Reject it now with a clear
400. The remaining six schedulers all run with only warmup/training steps.
Two overlapping /diffusion/start requests can interleave between the is_active()
check and the reservation, so reserve() itself must reject a second reservation
atomically. Otherwise both callers reserve, both free the GPU's resident chat or
image model, and the loser only 409s after the eviction -- the evict-then-fail the
reservation exists to prevent. reserve() now raises under the lock if a start is
already reserved or a job is already running.
start_diffusion_training freed resident GPU models and only then called
service.start(config), which is where is_active() first flips true. During that
free-then-spawn window a concurrent /images/load or /video/load saw training as
inactive, passed its training guard, acquired the GPU, and began a background load,
so the trainer and that pipeline both allocated VRAM. Add reserve()/unreserve() to
the training service (is_active() also reports the reservation) and reserve BEFORE
the free, in a try/finally so a failed start rolls the reservation back. An
overlapping load's guard now refuses during the window. Regression tests: the route
reserves before the free (and the free sees an active service), and the service
reservation marks active then rolls back.
Several image/video/training preflights ran before the route acquires the GPU or
frees resident models, but let a doomed local pick through and only failed deep in
the background load, after the user's chat/Images/Video model was already evicted.
- Local base_repo / base_model: _is_trusted_diffusion_repo accepts any existing
local path, but the base loads via from_pretrained (needs model_index.json). A
local dir that is not a diffusers pipeline passed the trust gate, evicted the
resident model, then failed. Add a shared _assert_local_base_is_pipeline check
and call it in the image, video, and training preflights.
- Dataset images: discover_image_caption_pairs only checked filenames, so a
corrupt or zero-byte upload passed the start-route preflight, freed the GPU, then
crashed the spawned trainer in PIL. Add an opt-in verify_images decode probe
(cheap PIL header check) that the start route enables; the trainers leave it off
since they decode every image anyway.
- Local single-file safetensors: the On-Device scanner advertises a bare
.safetensors directory (no model_index.json) as a text-to-image model, but the
picker starts it as a pipeline with no filename, so every click 400s. Reinterpret
such a pick as a single_file load of the sole checkpoint (resolve_local_single_file)
so the advertised model is actually loadable.
Regression tests for each: local non-pipeline base (image/video/training), the
verify_images decode gate, and resolve_local_single_file.
The start route's precision preflight folded bf16/int8/fp8 into the CUDA
requirement but omitted mxfp8, so an mxfp8 request on a GPU-less host (or an
older CUDA GPU without Blackwell) passed the preflight, evicted resident image
and chat models, then raised only in the spawned trainer child. Mirror
_resolve_base_precision: require CUDA for mxfp8 and re-check the Blackwell
(sm100+) capability up front, so a doomed run is rejected before teardown.
The start-route preflight caught the bf16-GPU and int8-torchao requirements but not the dense
precisions' CUDA requirement: on a GPU-less host bf16_unsupported_reason exempts CPU-only, so a
bf16/fp8 (or int8-with-torchao) DiT request passed the preflight, evicted resident workloads, then
raised only in the trainer child. Add the dense-mode CUDA gate mirroring _resolve_base_precision so
the doomed run is rejected up front. Also pin bf16_unsupported_reason in the two positive-path
family-info tests so they are deterministic across GPU types (a non-bf16 CUDA box would otherwise
empty every DiT family's advertised modes).
The start route preflight only rejected non-bf16 GPUs; an explicit int8 request on
a host with a missing or stub torchao passed the preflight, evicted resident GPU
workloads, then died in the trainer child (its int8 base quantizer has no fallback).
Fold both gates into training_precision_preflight_error so int8-without-torchao fails
fast before eviction. Also empty the advertised DiT precision_modes (and surface the
reason in vram_note, drop compile) whenever the bf16 preflight would reject the family,
so /info never offers an nf4 DiT option the route always 400s.
- DiffusionFamily gains deploy_base_repo (krea/Krea-2-Turbo): deploying a LoRA
trained on Raw now previews it on Turbo, not the non-distilled Raw checkpoint.
Scoped to a same-precision override so it never turns an nf4 train base into a
larger bf16 deploy load; exposed through family_train_infos -> the Train UI's
onDeployClick / historical-run deploy resolve the deploy base.
- _GENERATION_DEFAULTS gains a Krea entry (8 steps, 0 CFG) so the OpenAI
/v1/images/generations route matches the Create UI's documented distilled recipe
instead of falling through to the generic (9, 0.0).
- normalized() + family_train_infos() mirror the inference fp8 deny for
Qwen-Image (activation outliers exceed fp8's range and corrupt the trained
result); int8 stays allowed and the UI no longer advertises fp8 for it.
- _resolve_base_precision() gates an explicit int8 on a FUNCTIONAL torchao, the
same gate auto and /info already apply, so a missing/stub torchao fails fast
instead of silently loading dense with compile disabled.
- train_precision_modes() gates the dense modes (bf16/int8/fp8/auto) on
torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported(), so a non-bf16 CUDA GPU (T4/V100/RTX 20xx) is
offered only nf4 instead of a start that evicts resident models and then fails.
- start_diffusion_training preflights bf16 support for the DiT families BEFORE
_free_gpu_for_diffusion_training(), so any DiT start (nf4 included, since the
trainer requires bf16 unconditionally on CUDA) fails fast without eviction.
- The torchao 0.17 MX training path swaps a matched frozen Linear's weight for a wrapper tensor
whose linear override computes input @ weight_t and drops the bias, so mxfp8'ing a biased frozen
linear silently loses its bias and corrupts the base output the LoRA regresses against (verified
on Blackwell: the bias term is fully dropped). Skip biased linears in _mx_module_filter.
- _resolve_base_precision re-checked explicit dense modes against the live device but only rejected
CPU, so an explicit mxfp8 request on a non-Blackwell CUDA GPU passed and then crashed at the first
MX GEMM after a full dense-transformer load. /info only advertises mxfp8 on sm100+; mirror that
gate here and fail fast for a stale or direct client below Blackwell.
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 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.
- 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 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.
