studio: gate image input on effective vision capability (#5492)
* Studio: gate image input on a usable mmproj for GGUF vision models

* Improve image gating and model capability sync

Tighten image-handling and model capability syncing across the chat flow. Key changes:

- chat-adapter: Replace per-message current-user image check with a simpler gate that blocks if ANY image is present in the outbound payload when the selected model cannot handle vision. Show the toast reason and flip the per-thread running flag on→off to avoid hanging wait promises before throwing.

- shared-composer: Simplify and correct image-attachment gating for single vs compare modes. Use an attach-time gate that defers to send/ensureModelLoaded in compare mode, introduce attachUnavailableReason, and only block immediately for single-mode. Remove an unused models selector.

- shared-composer: Sync the runtime models[] entry with the response from ensureModelLoaded so UI/send gates read fresh capabilities (isVision, isGguf, isAudio, audioType, hasAudioInput). This addresses catalog lag (e.g., GGUF mmproj arriving after the catalog snapshot).

- UX tweak: the file-picker button no longer outright blocks on image availability; addFiles still filters images per-file and toasts appropriately.

These changes prevent mid-stream server rejections, avoid deadlocks, and ensure model capability checks are accurate when attaching images or audio.

* studio: only pass --mmproj to llama-server when effective_is_vision

When a text-only GGUF (static is_vision=False) was paired with a
family-matching mmproj path, the launcher appended both --mmproj and
--spec-default, leaving llama-server in an inconsistent state while
Studio reported is_vision=False. Gate the --mmproj flag on
effective_is_vision so the launch command tracks the runtime
capability the rest of Studio sees.

* studio: reject image content in streaming /v1/responses for non-vision GGUF

_responses_stream forwards the OpenAI request body directly to
llama-server's /v1/chat/completions, bypassing the image-vs-vision
guard that openai_chat_completions enforces for the wrapped path.
Add the same check at the top of the streaming entry point so an
SDK client that posts an image to a non-vision GGUF receives a
typed 400 instead of an opaque downstream error.

* studio: gate external chat providers in the image input helper

External selections (cohere, deepseek, mistral, openrouter, ...) live
in externalProviders, not in runtime.models[], so activeModel is
undefined for them and the helper short-circuited to allow. Result:
images attached to a non-vision external chat model were dropped
silently downstream instead of rejected up front.

Add providerTypeSupportsVision to external-providers.ts (false for
known text-only providers, true for known vision-capable ones, null
for unknown / custom self-hosted) and thread externalSupportsVision
+ externalModelLabel through the helper. shared-composer.tsx,
runtime-provider.tsx (VisionImageAdapter.add), and chat-adapter.ts
pre-stream gate all resolve the provider type and pass it.

Developer, Nightly, Uninstall

To see developer, nightly and uninstallation etc. instructions, see advanced installation.

Unsloth Core (code-based)

Linux, WSL:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13

Uninstall

You can uninstall Unsloth Studio by deleting its install folder usually located under $HOME/.unsloth/studio on Mac/Linux/WSL and %USERPROFILE%\.unsloth\studio on Windows. Using the rm -rf commands will delete everything, including your history, cache:

  • MacOS, WSL, Linux: rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio
  • Windows (PowerShell): Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio"

For more info, see our docs.

Deleting model files

You can delete old model files either from the bin icon in model search or by removing the relevant cached model folder from the default Hugging Face cache directory. By default, HF uses:

  • MacOS, Linux, WSL: ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cache\huggingface\hub\
