Collecting the worklog over the past few weeks.
- Enabled Flash-Attention and CPU offloading by default in sdkit3 (i.e. Easy Diffusion v4).
- Added optional VAE tiling (and VAE tile size configuration) via
config.yamlin Easy Diffusion v4. - Created Easy Diffusion’s fork of Forge WebUI, in order to apply the patches required to run with ED. And also to try adding new features like Z-Image (which are missing in the seemingly-abandoned main Forge repo).
- Improved the heuristics used for killing and restarting the backend child process, since
/pingrequests are unreliable if the backend is under heavy load. - Merged a few PRs (1 2) for
torchruntimethat improve support for pinning pre-cu128 torch versions and fix the order of detection of DirectML and CUDA (prefers CUDA). - Added progress bars when downloading v4 backend artifacts.
