The auto FBCache policy keyed on the full step count whenever strength was omitted, but the loader only passes the strength kwarg when it is set, so an img2img/inpaint pipe then runs its OWN signature default (< 1, e.g. FluxImg2ImgPipeline's 0.6). FBCache would engage on the full 28 steps while the pipe actually denoises ~16, degrading the image on exactly the short trajectory the policy exists to keep uncached. Thread the pipe's signature default into the policy via a new effective_request_strength helper (unit-tested), so the effective denoise count matches what the pipe runs.

"""Opt-in step caching for the diffusion transformer (First-Block-Cache).
|
|
|
|
Across denoising steps a DiT's output changes little once the trajectory settles, so most of
|
|
the transformer can be reused. First-Block-Cache (FBCache) computes the first block, and if
|
|
its residual barely changed from the previous step (within ``threshold``) it skips the
|
|
remaining blocks and reuses their cached output. diffusers ships it natively
|
|
(``transformer.enable_cache(FirstBlockCacheConfig(...))`` for CacheMixin models, or the
|
|
standalone ``apply_first_block_cache`` hook).
|
|
|
|
Measured on Flux.1-dev (28 steps, 1024px, B200): ~1.4x on top of torch.compile (2.83 ->
|
|
2.03 s) at LPIPS ~0.08 vs the no-cache output -- deep inside the speed-for-quality bar.
|
|
|
|
OFF by default and a deliberate per-load opt-in, because the win scales with step count: a
|
|
few-step distilled model (e.g. Z-Image-Turbo at ~8 steps) has almost no headroom and a
|
|
single skipped step is a large fraction of the trajectory, so caching is for many-step
|
|
models (Flux / Qwen-Image). It composes with torch.compile only with ``fullgraph=False``
|
|
(the cache's compiler-disabled decision is a graph break), which the speed layer switches to
|
|
automatically when a cache is engaged. Best-effort: an incompatible model (e.g. a transformer
|
|
whose block signature the hook does not recognise) is caught and the load proceeds uncached.
|
|
torch / diffusers imported lazily.
