22e6d64493* Studio: scale export GGUF size estimates from the real model size The Export page showed hardcoded, model-independent GGUF quant size labels (Q8_0 ~8.2 GB, BF16 ~14.2 GB, ...) calibrated for an ~8B model. For a 35B MoE model like Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (67 GiB bf16, Q8 ~34 GiB) the picker wrongly reported Q8 ~8.2 GB. Only the displayed estimate was wrong; the actual export via save_pretrained_gguf was always correct. Add GET /api/models/export-size, which returns a model's MoE-aware fp16/bf16-equivalent size and total params using the existing estimate_fp16_model_size_bytes (safetensors -> config -> local -> vllm). The result is memoized and degrades to nulls so a size hint can never break the Export page. The Export picker now scales each quant from that size (bytes ~= fp16_bytes * bits_per_weight / 16, GiB units to match the model selector), and renders no size when it is unknown rather than a misleading fixed number. The Est. size summary in the page and dialog is restored now that the value comes from the backend. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Studio export-size: address review feedback - Run the size estimate off the event loop with asyncio.to_thread so a slow Hugging Face request cannot stall other API or SSE endpoints. - Cache only successful estimates; a transient failure (offline, gated before credentials) is no longer pinned as unavailable until restart. - Forward the HF token so private and gated models can be sized, and refetch when the token changes. - Clamp the size formatter index so sub-1-byte values cannot pick an out-of-range unit. * Studio export-size: address second review pass - Send the HF token in an X-HF-Token header instead of the query string, so it never lands in URLs, logs, or browser history. - Key the estimate cache by model id only (the fp16 size is token independent), so HF tokens are never retained in the cache. - Restrict local-path sizing to known Studio roots (outputs/exports/cache/home) so an authenticated caller cannot trigger a scan of an arbitrary directory. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Studio export-size: fix CI (import-hoist + isolated-load test stubs) - Import ExportSizeResponse from models.models in routes/models.py instead of re-exporting it through models/__init__.py, so the import-hoist lint does not flag a newly added but un-loaded re-export (models/__init__.py is unchanged). - Add Header and ExportSizeResponse to the stubbed fastapi / models.models in test_export_absolute_paths.py, which loads routes/models.py in isolation. * Studio: validate export-size local path before filesystem access CodeQL flagged the export-size local-path guard as path injection: the user-provided model path was resolved and stat-ed before it was checked for containment under a Studio data root. Decide containment by lexical normalization (normpath/abspath/expanduser, no filesystem access) and only touch the filesystem once the path is proven to sit under a trusted root, so an unvalidated value never reaches a filesystem call. Add a direct containment unit test (under-root, root itself, missing, /etc, and '..' traversal). * Studio: trim export-size comments to be more concise Shorten docstrings and comments on the export-size endpoint, helpers, tests, and frontend size utilities; drop comments that just restate the code. Verified code-identical (comments only) via AST/TS-compiler check. No behavior change. * Studio: harden export-size local-path handling Address review feedback on the export-size endpoint's local sizing: - Resolve symlinks and re-verify containment in _is_sizable_local_path so a symlink inside a Studio root can't point the sizer outside it. - Re-validate the resolved LoRA base before sizing, so a crafted adapter whose base_model points outside the roots can't redirect the scan. - Skip nested checkpoint-*/global_step* snapshots when summing local weight sizes so a run dir's intermediate checkpoints don't inflate the estimate. - Size the checkpoint directory for full fine-tune checkpoint exports (whose base may be a local/custom path), keeping base-model sizing for adapters. Adds tests for the adapter-base escape, symlink escape, and nested-checkpoint exclusion. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci --------- Co-authored-by: pre-commit-ci[bot] <66853113+pre-commit-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: danielhanchen <michaelhan2050@gmail.com> |

Advanced launch options
Installer options can be passed as environment variables. On macOS, Linux and WSL place the variable after the pipe so the shell passes it to sh; on Windows set it with $env: before piping to iex.
Skip PyTorch (GGUF-only mode):
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1 sh
$env:UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH=1; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Pin the Python version:

$env:UNSLOTH_PYTHON='3.12'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Install to a custom location with UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME:
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/abs/path sh
$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME='C:\path'; irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Cap Studio's native CPU thread pools on high-core hosts: UNSLOTH_CPU_THREADS=8 unsloth studio -p 8888.
Uninstall
The recommended way to fully remove Unsloth Studio is the matching uninstall script for your OS. It stops any running servers, removes the install dir, the launcher data dir, the desktop shortcut, and any platform-specific entries (macOS .app bundle + Launch Services on Mac; Start Menu, HKCU\Software\Unsloth registry key and user PATH entries on Windows):
- MacOS, WSL, Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.sh | sh - Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/main/scripts/uninstall.ps1 | iex
If you only want to drop the install dir and keep the launcher/shortcut for a later reinstall, you can instead run rm -rf ~/.unsloth/studio (Mac/Linux/WSL) or Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.unsloth\studio" (Windows). The model cache at ~/.cache/huggingface is not touched by any of these.
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\
