Two-network subject+style sets select a winner per layer instead of
summing: scores are top-K magnitude sums (klora) or Frobenius energies
(estlora), and a timestep ramp shifts layers from the subject network
toward the style network across sampling, reduced to at most one
precomputed flip per layer per pass. On sub-8-bit SDNQ the pair rides
the side-channel as separate segments flipped in place; other layers
recompute the winner from the pristine backup, so select modes force
backup mode. Selection resets per pass from the callback setup and is
gated off under model compile. estlora's measured style-discrepancy
term is exposed as an option. Adds XYZ axes for the stack settings.
Add lora_stack_mode with ties, dare_ties, dare_linear and
magnitude_prune combination of per-network deltas when several loaded
networks target one layer; sum stays the default and the exact factor
path. Combined deltas ride the existing tail: hosted svd on sub-8-bit
SDNQ, requantize at int8 and above, direct add elsewhere. Text-encoder
layers and single-network sets keep plain summation. DARE masks draw
from per-layer sha256 seeds so re-applies and cache entries stay
deterministic; the stack settings join the activation and factor-cache
signatures so settings changes re-apply without a reload.
Baking a lora into a quantized weight requantizes it, and on low-bit
formats round-to-nearest erases sub-step deltas (uint4 retains roughly
2/group_size of the signal). Plain lora deltas now ride the sdnq svd
side-channel: factors append to svd_up/svd_down with the down factor
hadamard-rotated, applied by the dequantizer at full precision in every
forward mode. Apply and remove are exact and take no weight backup.
- non-factorable families (dora, lokr, loha, oft, cp mid, dense bias)
fall back to requantize with a per-pass summary warning
- native fuse now honors the quantized-model guard; fuse requantized in
place on every network swap and accumulated drift
- layers that fell back on a mixed set restore from backup before
re-entering the factor path; untargeted quantized layers are no
longer flagged
- test/test-sdnq-lora-factors.py pins the erasure law, factor-path
exactness, memory accounting and set transitions
network_add_weights defaulted its base tensor to self.weight for the bias
delta as well, so in fuse mode a diff_b was added to the weight matrix and
the result written into the bias. Layers where in and out differ threw a
shape error and had the weight matrix installed as their bias, square layers
broadcast silently, and either way the summary still counted the delta as
applied.
- pick the base tensor from the bias flag
- name the layer, target and both shapes in the mismatch error
- return which of (weight, bias) took a write, count the rest as refused
- report refused= on partially applied and partially removed networks
- cover both apply paths in test/test-lora-apply.py
Backup-mode apply and restore installed fresh Parameters. Matmul kernel
selection is sensitive to operand placement, so the first load/remove cycle
shifted otherwise deterministic renders once per process even though every
weight restored byte-exact: bit-identical inputs entered the first post-cycle
unet forward and a different output left it. Copying into the existing
parameter keeps each touched module on its load-time allocation and drops the
per-layer transient of holding old and new weights side by side.
- assign_weight writes weight and bias installs in place when shape, dtype
and device match; quantized fallback layers keep their rebuild path
- regression test pins storage stability across the activate walk
