HunyuanVideo-1.5 loads previously logged 'fbcache unavailable (Model class
HunyuanVideo15TransformerBlock not registered)': diffusers 0.39 ships FBCache
block metadata for HunyuanVideo 1.0 but not 1.5, although the 1.5 DiT is fully
cache-shaped (CacheMixin, homogeneous residual-additive dual-stream blocks,
cache_context per guidance branch). Register the missing metadata at engage
time (deferring to a native registration when a future diffusers ships one).
Measured on a B200 (720p t2v, 1280x720, 33 frames, seed 42), FBCache is fast
but not shippable for this family: 1.44x at 30 steps / 2.41x at 50 steps, at
LPIPS 0.43-0.54 vs the same uncached stack with a +5..8 luma drift (no skip
cap or error budget, so the trajectory derails into a different clip). MagCache
(same registry metadata, also dispatched via enable_cache) is bounded by
design and lands the win: 1.49x end-to-end at 50 steps at LPIPS 0.147 with the
same composition, 1.21x at LPIPS 0.071 on the 480p model. Ship magcache as the
per-family AUTO cache mode for hunyuanvideo-1.5 / -720p with 50-step
calibrated per-family mag_ratios (cond/uncond curves agree within 0.014,
30 vs 50-step calibration within 0.027 after interpolation); every other
family keeps fbcache, and explicit fbcache/magcache requests are honored.
The auto toggle re-engages magcache on a step-count change so the ratio curve
is re-interpolated over the actual schedule.
Two production bugs fixed along the way:
- diffusers' HookRegistry caches its child-registry list, so enabling a cache
AFTER any uncached generation (the auto off-to-on toggle) left the new block
hooks without a context ('No context is set' on the first cached forward).
Invalidate the stale cache after every enable_cache.
- An explicit int8 DiT request crashed under the padded-text trim: torchao's
int8 dynamic path returns a zero-token (M=0) input unprojected (t2v byt5 /
image streams -> cond-type add shape crash) and torch._int_mm requires
M > 16 (an empty negative prompt trims to ~6 tokens -> TokenRefiner crash).
Add per-family int8 excludes for the text-stream linears (context_embedder*,
image_embedder, add_q/k/v_proj, to_add_out, ff_context); they run at tens of
tokens vs the ~32k video stream, so the exclusion costs nothing measurable.
Bench: trim lever key (trim_off / eager_trim isolation configs), int8_cudnn +
shipped_nocache rows, --cache-threshold, warmup timing, per-config frame
persistence for offline LPIPS rescoring, and the loader's per-family auto
cache mode mirrored. Full 720p matrix recorded: reference 481.6s ->
trim+cudnn+compile 35.4s -> shipped default with TE/VAE quant + magcache
24.9s (19.4x, peak VRAM 89.4 -> 81.8 GB), int8 latency-neutral (dense auto
policy confirmed), compile 1.56x per step, trim 13.5x per step at production
shapes.
Validated end to end through the real VideoBackend: load resolves
transformer_cache=magcache with trim + compile + cudnn, generation
re-interpolates 50 -> 30 steps, auto-disengages below 20 steps, re-engages
after an uncached generation, unload restores globals. Hermetic tests cover
the registration, the child-cache invalidation, magcache engage/threshold/
no-curve/no-steps paths, auto-mode routing, toggle re-interpolation, and the
family int8 excludes.
