Fix bitsandbytes ROCm install by using pip instead of uv (#4966)
* Fix bitsandbytes ROCm install by using pip instead of uv

* Also use pip for PyPI fallback path in _install_bnb_rocm

The original fix correctly switched the pre-release wheel install from
uv to pip, but left the PyPI fallback path on uv. If uv breaks bnb
on ROCm, the fallback would hit the same issue. Move pip bootstrap
before the branch so both paths use pip consistently.

* Harden pip bootstrap: try ensurepip first, warn on failure

- Try ensurepip --upgrade before falling back to uv pip install pip.
  ensurepip works offline and does not need PyPI, making the bootstrap
  robust when the network or index is unavailable.
- If both ensurepip and uv fail, emit a visible warning instead of
  silently swallowing the error (which previously led to a cryptic
  "No module named pip" downstream).
- Use run_maybe_quiet so --verbose users see bootstrap output.
- Update comment to document the actual root cause: uv rejects the
  wheel because filename version and metadata version disagree.

* Add --isolated to pip install calls in _install_bnb_rocm

uv pip install ignores pip.conf and PIP_* env vars, but python -m pip
reads them. Without --isolated, users with PIP_INDEX_URL pointing to a
private mirror that does not carry bitsandbytes would see the PyPI
fallback fail where it previously worked under uv. --isolated restores
parity with the old uv behavior.

* Drop --isolated from PyPI fallback in _install_bnb_rocm

--isolated suppresses PIP_INDEX_URL, PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL, and pip.conf.
This is correct for the pre-release path (hardcoded GitHub URL, no index
consulted), but breaks the PyPI fallback for users in corporate or
air-gapped environments whose only route to bitsandbytes is a private
mirror configured via those mechanisms. Keep --isolated on the direct-URL
pre-release install; drop it from the index-dependent fallback.

* Drop --isolated from pre-release pip install, fix warning wording

--isolated suppresses pip.conf cert/proxy/CA settings in addition to
index config. For the direct GitHub URL, index config is irrelevant but
cert/proxy settings matter in corporate SSL-inspection environments.
Without this fix, users with pip.conf-based CA bundles get a TLS error
on the pre-release download and silently fall back to the broken PyPI
version -- the exact outcome the PR is trying to prevent.

Also fix the fallback warning: "unreachable" is too specific since the
pre-release install can fail for reasons other than network reachability.

unsloth studio ui homepage

Unsloth Studio (Beta) lets you run and train text, audio, embedding, vision models on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Features

Unsloth provides several key features for both inference and training:

Inference

Training

  • Train and RL 500+ models up to 2x faster with up to 70% less VRAM, with no accuracy loss.
  • Custom Triton and mathematical kernels. See some collabs we did with PyTorch and Hugging Face.
  • Data Recipes: Auto-create datasets from PDF, CSV, DOCX etc. Edit data in a visual-node workflow.
  • Reinforcement Learning (RL): The most efficient RL library, using 80% less VRAM for GRPO, FP8 etc.
  • Supports full fine-tuning, RL, pretraining, 4-bit, 16-bit and, FP8 training.
  • Observability: Monitor training live, track loss and GPU usage and customize graphs.
  • Multi-GPU training is supported, with major improvements coming soon.

Quickstart

Unsloth can be used in two ways: through Unsloth Studio, the web UI, or through Unsloth Core, the code-based version. Each has different requirements.

Unsloth Studio (web UI)

Unsloth Studio (Beta) works on Windows, Linux, WSL and macOS.

  • CPU: Supported for Chat and Data Recipes currently
  • NVIDIA: Training works on RTX 30/40/50, Blackwell, DGX Spark, Station and more
  • macOS: Currently supports chat and Data Recipes. MLX training is coming very soon
  • AMD: Chat + Data works. Train with Unsloth Core. Studio support is out soon.
  • Coming soon: Training support for Apple MLX, AMD, and Intel.
  • Multi-GPU: Available now, with a major upgrade on the way

macOS, Linux, WSL:

curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh

Windows:

irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Launch

unsloth studio -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8888

Update

To update, use the same install commands as above. Or run (does not work on Windows):

unsloth studio update

Docker

Use our Docker image unsloth/unsloth container. Run:

docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword" \
  -p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22 \
  -v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work \
  --gpus all \
  unsloth/unsloth

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
source unsloth_env/bin/activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

Windows:

winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.13
winget install --id=astral-sh.uv  -e
uv venv unsloth_env --python 3.13
.\unsloth_env\Scripts\activate
uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto

For Windows, pip install unsloth works only if you have PyTorch installed. Read our Windows Guide. You can use the same Docker image as Unsloth Studio.

AMD, Intel:

For RTX 50x, B200, 6000 GPUs: uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto. Read our guides for: Blackwell and DGX Spark.
To install Unsloth on AMD and Intel GPUs, follow our AMD Guide and Intel Guide.

📒 Free Notebooks

Train for free with our notebooks. You can use our new free Unsloth Studio notebook to run and train models for free in a web UI. Read our guide. Add dataset, run, then deploy your trained model.

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\
