+# Contributing
+
+This document collects general contribution conventions for this repository.
+
+## Before You Start
+
+Before opening a PR, please search existing PRs to avoid duplicating ongoing work.
+
+For large-scale refactors or changes with broad impact, please open an issue first to discuss the approach before submitting a PR.
+
+If you want to update a third-party dependency, please open an issue first instead of submitting a direct PR. See [Dependency Updates](#dependency-updates) for details.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+Keep each PR focused on one clear change. Large or overly complex PRs are harder to review and may not be merged.
+
+Follow Conventional Commit-style subjects seen in history: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `ci:`, `docs:`, `chore:`. Keep subjects imperative and scoped.
+
+PRs should include:
+
+- What changed and why (short problem/solution summary).
+- Verification evidence when applicable (commands and key outputs).
+- Linked issue/PR context when applicable.
+- Screenshots or sample outputs for UI/visual behavior changes.
+
+## Code Style
+
+Format code according to the repository style before submitting changes.
+
+Formatting follows `.clang-format` (Chromium base, 4-space indent, no tabs). Run `format-code.sh` before opening a PR. Keep C++ standard at C++17-compatible patterns used in this repo.
+
+Naming conventions:
+
+- Use `PascalCase` for class/struct/type names.
+- In `PascalCase` names, preserve common abbreviations in uppercase, for example `SD`, `API`, `HTTP`, `JSON`, `RGB`, `VAE`, `TAE`, `LoRA`, and `WebP`.
+- Use `snake_case` for functions, methods, variables, and file names unless an existing API requires a different style.
+- Use a trailing underscore for private data member names, for example `hidden_size_` or `tokenizer_`.
+- Use `.h` for C and C++ header files. Do not introduce new `.hpp` headers.
+- Use macro-based header include guards instead of `#pragma once`.
+- Format header include guards as `__SD_{PATH}__`, where `{PATH}` is the header path in uppercase snake case without the file extension. For example, `src/sample.h` should use `__SD_SAMPLE_H__`.
+- Do not introduce anonymous namespaces in new or modified code; prefer `static` file-local functions/variables or an explicit named namespace when scoping is needed.
+- In `class`/`struct` definitions, place data members before member functions unless an existing type already clearly follows a different pattern.
+- Keep `test_*.cpp` / `test_*.py` naming for tests.
+
+Some older code in the project may not fully follow the current conventions. Please do not submit PRs that only rewrite existing code to match style rules.
+
+When adding or modifying model implementations, follow the model config and weight detection conventions in [docs/model_config.md](docs/model_config.md).
+
+## AI-Assisted Contributions
+
+AI tools may be used to assist development, but contributors are responsible for the quality and correctness of the submitted code.
+
+If any part of a contribution was generated with AI assistance, the contributor must perform a thorough human review before submitting the PR and understand every changed line.
+
+Do not list AI tools as co-authors. The human contributor is the sole responsible author of the submitted code.
+
+Please do not submit AI-generated code that you do not understand, and do not include meaningless experiments, temporary test code, or unrelated generated output in a PR.
+
+## Dependency Updates
+
+Do not submit PRs that update `ggml`. `ggml` updates are performed only after local validation by the maintainer.
+
+Other third-party dependencies are not updated unless necessary. If you want to update a dependency, please open an issue first instead of submitting a direct PR.
+
+## Security & Configuration
+
+Do not commit model weights, secrets, or local absolute paths. Keep large binaries out of git unless intentionally tracked release assets.

+# Backend selection
+
+`stable-diffusion.cpp` has two backend assignments:
+
+- `--backend` selects the runtime backend used to execute model graphs.
+- `--params-backend` selects where model parameters are kept.
+
+If `--params-backend` is not set, parameters use the same backend as their module runtime backend.
+
+## Syntax
+
+A backend assignment can be a single backend name:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend cpu
+```
+
+This applies to every module that does not have a more specific assignment.
+
+Assignments can also target individual modules:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend te=cpu,vae=cuda0,diffusion=vulkan0
+```
+
+The same syntax is used for parameter placement:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend cuda0 --params-backend te=cpu,vae=cpu
+```
+
+`--params-backend` also accepts the special value `disk`:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend cuda0 --params-backend disk
+```
+
+`--max-vram` can target resolved backend/device names:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend diffusion=cuda0,vae=vulkan0 --max-vram cuda0=6,vulkan0=2
+```
+
+The budget applies to every module running on that backend.
+
+Module names are case-insensitive. Hyphens and underscores in module names are ignored, so `clip_vision`, `clip-vision`, and `clipvision` are equivalent.
+
+`all=`, `default=`, and `*=` can be used to set the default backend inside a mixed assignment:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend all=cuda0,te=cpu
+```
+
+## Multiple devices per module (layer split)
+
+A `--backend` module assignment can list several devices separated by `&`:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend "diffusion=cuda0&cuda1"
+```
+
+The module's transformer blocks are then distributed across the listed devices
+in contiguous ranges sized proportionally to each device's free memory (minus a
+compute-buffer headroom of about 2 GiB per device), and the
+module's graphs are executed with a `ggml_backend_sched` that runs each block
+on the device holding its weights, copying the residual stream at the range
+boundaries. The first device in the list is the module's main device: it also
+holds the non-block tensors (embeddings, final norms, small sub-runners such as
+CLIP models or projectors) and the graph inputs/outputs.
+
+Layer split is supported for the `diffusion` and `te` modules. For `te` it
+applies to the dominant text encoder (`t5xxl` or the LLM); other modules accept
+only a single device. If the module has no recognizable transformer blocks, the
+assignment falls back to the first listed device.
+
+`--params-backend` accepts no device lists. If the module has no explicit
+params assignment, each block range's parameters are loaded directly to (and,
+with `--params-backend diffusion=disk`, released directly from) its own device;
+an explicit assignment such as `te=cpu` keeps the parameters on that backend
+and stages each range to its device on demand.
+
+Layer split cannot be combined with `--max-vram` graph-cut segmentation or
+`--stream-layers` for the split module; those are single-device mechanisms and
+are disabled for it.
+
+Use `--list-devices` to see the device names available on the system.
+
+### Row split (`--split-mode row`)
+
+`--split-mode` selects how a multi-device module distributes its weights:
+`layer` (the default, described above) or `row`. It accepts a single mode or
+per-module assignments:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend "diffusion=cuda0&cuda1" --split-mode row
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend "diffusion=cuda0&cuda1,te=cuda0&cuda1" --split-mode diffusion=row,te=layer
+```
+
+In row mode the module keeps executing on its main (first listed) device, but
+its transformer-block matmul weights are allocated in the backend's row-split
+buffer type, which slices each weight's rows across the listed devices in
+proportion to free memory and runs those matmuls on all devices in parallel.
+Compared to a layer split this uses all GPUs within every layer (instead of
+sequentially device by device) at the cost of a cross-device reduction per
+matmul - usually the faster option when the devices have fast interconnect.
+
+Row split requires backend support for split buffers and is currently
+available on CUDA only; on other backends (or when the listed devices belong
+to different backend registries) the module falls back to a layer split.
+Embeddings, normalization weights, biases and other non-block tensors stay in
+regular buffers on the main device.
+
+Direct ("immediately") LoRA application cannot patch row-split tensors; with
+`--split-mode row` the automatic LoRA mode selects runtime application, and an
+explicit `--lora-apply-mode immediately` skips the split tensors with a
+warning.
+
+## Automatic placement (`--auto-fit`)
+
+`--auto-fit` derives the `diffusion` / `te` / `vae` placements from the model
+metadata and the per-device memory budgets, then feeds them into the same
+backend assignment mechanism described above (the chosen specs are printed).
+`--backend` and `--params-backend` are ignored while auto-fit is enabled.
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --auto-fit
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --auto-fit --max-vram cuda0=8,cuda1=14
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --auto-fit --split-mode row
+```
+
+Budgets reuse `--max-vram`: a positive per-device value caps what auto-fit
+plans with on that device, a negative value means "free memory minus that many
+GiB", and with no budget set each device's free memory minus a 512 MiB margin
+is used. (The same values still drive graph-cut segmented execution for
+modules that end up on a single device.)
+
+When everything fits resident, components are simply spread across the
+available GPUs. When it does not, auto-fit switches to time-share mode: the
+heavy components get `disk` params residency (loaded for their phase, freed
+after), and a component too large for any single device is split across all
+GPUs with the layer/row split mechanism (`--split-mode` selects which, layer
+by default). Components that fit nowhere fall back to the CPU. If a VAE decode
+still runs out of memory, tiling is enabled and the decode retried once.

+
+`te` is the preferred module name for text encoders. `clip` is kept as an accepted alias because many existing commands and model names use CLIP terminology.
+
+## Backend names
+
+Backend names are resolved against the GGML backend device list. Matching is case-insensitive and accepts exact names or unique prefixes, so common values include names such as:
+
+- `cpu`
+- `cuda0`
+- `vulkan0`
+- `metal`
+
+The special values `auto`, `default`, and an empty backend name select the default backend. The default preference is GPU, then integrated GPU, then CPU.
+
+The special value `gpu` selects the first GPU backend, falling back to the first integrated GPU backend.
+
+The special value `disk` is accepted only by `--params-backend`. `--backend disk` is invalid because `disk` is a parameter residency mode, not a runtime compute backend.
+
+## Runtime backend vs. parameter backend
+
+The runtime backend controls where graph execution runs. The parameter backend controls where model weights are allocated or whether they are reloaded from disk on demand.
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend cuda0 --params-backend cpu
+```
+
+This runs all modules on `cuda0`, but stores parameters in CPU RAM. During execution, parameters are moved to the runtime backend as needed.
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend cuda0 --params-backend disk
+```
+
+This runs all modules on `cuda0`, reloads parameters from the model file as needed, and releases those parameter buffers after use.
+
+`disk` is never selected implicitly. If `--params-backend` is not set, parameters use the runtime backend.
+
+Per-module assignments can be mixed:
+
+```shell
+sd-cli -m model.safetensors -p "a cat" --backend diffusion=cuda0,te=cpu,vae=cpu --params-backend diffusion=cuda0,te=cpu,vae=cpu
+```
+
+This keeps text encoding and VAE execution on CPU while the diffusion model runs on GPU.
+
+## Backend sharing and lifetime
+
+Backends are managed by `SDBackendManager`.
+
+Within one manager, backend instances are cached by resolved backend device name. If multiple modules request the same backend, they share the same `ggml_backend_t`.
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+--backend te=cpu,vae=cpu
+```
+
+uses one shared CPU backend for both `te` and `vae` runtime execution.
+
+Runtime and parameter assignments also share the same backend cache. If `--backend diffusion=cuda0` and `--params-backend diffusion=cuda0` resolve to the same device, both use the same backend instance.
+
+`--params-backend disk` does not create a separate backend instance. Parameters are loaded lazily using the module runtime backend.
+
+`SDBackendManager` owns the backend instances and frees them when the context or upscaler is destroyed. Model runners receive non-owning runtime and parameter backend pointers and do not free them.
+
+## Compatibility flags
+
+The example CLI/server still accepts these older CPU placement flags as compatibility aliases:
+
+- `--clip-on-cpu`
+- `--vae-on-cpu`
+- `--control-net-cpu`
+- `--offload-to-cpu`
+
+`--clip-on-cpu`, `--vae-on-cpu`, and `--control-net-cpu` are deprecated. The example argument layer prepends `te=cpu`, `vae=cpu`, and `controlnet=cpu` to `--backend` before creating the context.
+
+`--offload-to-cpu` prepends a CPU default to the parameter assignment in the caller before creating the context:
+
+```shell
+--params-backend '*=cpu'
+```
+
+Because this default is inserted first, later explicit `--params-backend` entries can still override it, for example `--offload-to-cpu --params-backend te=disk` keeps non-TE parameters on CPU and reloads TE parameters from disk.
+
+Library callers should set `backend` and `params_backend` directly. The old CPU/offload fields are no longer part of the C API. Explicit `--backend` and `--params-backend` assignments are preferred for new commands.

+# Importance Matrix (imatrix) Quantization
+
+## What is an Importance Matrix?
+
+Quantization reduces the precision of a model's weights, decreasing its size and computational requirements. However, this can lead to a loss of quality. An importance matrix helps mitigate this by identifying which weights are *most* important for the model's performance. During quantization, these important weights are preserved with higher precision, while less important weights are quantized more aggressively.  This allows for better overall quality at a given quantization level.
+
+This originates from work done with language models in [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/imatrix/README.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+The imatrix feature involves two main steps: *training* the matrix and *using* it during quantization.
+
+### Training the Importance Matrix
+
+To generate an imatrix, run stable-diffusion.cpp with the `--imat-out` flag, specifying the output filename.  This process runs alongside normal image generation.
+
+```bash
+sd.exe [same exact parameters as normal generation] --imat-out imatrix.dat
+```
+
+*   **`[same exact parameters as normal generation]`**:  Use the same command-line arguments you would normally use for image generation (e.g., prompt, dimensions, sampling method, etc.).
+*   **`--imat-out imatrix.dat`**: Specifies the output file for the generated imatrix.
+
+You can generate multiple images at once using the `-b` flag to speed up the training process.
+
+### Continuing Training an Existing Matrix
+
+If you want to refine an existing imatrix, use the `--imat-in` flag *in addition* to `--imat-out`. This will load the existing matrix and continue training it.
+
+```bash
+sd.exe [same exact parameters as normal generation] --imat-out imatrix.dat --imat-in imatrix.dat
+```
+With that, you can train and refine the imatrix while generating images like you'd normally do. 
+
+### Using Multiple Matrices
+
+You can load and merge multiple imatrices together:
+
+```bash
+sd.exe [same exact parameters as normal generation] --imat-out imatrix.dat --imat-in imatrix.dat --imat-in imatrix2.dat
+```
+
+### Quantizing with an Importance Matrix
+
+To quantize a model using a trained imatrix, use the `-M convert` option (or equivalent quantization command) and the `--imat-in` flag, specifying the imatrix file.
+
+```bash
+sd.exe -M convert [same exact parameters as normal quantization] --imat-in imatrix.dat
+```
+
+*   **`[same exact parameters as normal quantization]`**: Use the same command-line arguments you would normally use for quantization (e.g., target quantization method, input/output filenames).
+*   **`--imat-in imatrix.dat`**: Specifies the imatrix file to use during quantization.  You can specify multiple `--imat-in` flags to combine multiple matrices.
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+*   The quality of the imatrix depends on the prompts and settings used during training. Use prompts and settings representative of the types of images you intend to generate for the best results.
+*   Experiment with different training parameters (e.g., number of images, prompt variations) to optimize the imatrix for your specific use case.
+*   The performance impact of training an imatrix during image generation or using an imatrix for quantization is negligible.
+*   Using already quantized models to train the imatrix seems to be working fine.

+# Model Configuration Conventions
+
+This document describes the conventions for model configuration structs and
+weight-based configuration detection.
+
+## Config Types
+
+Model configuration should live in a model-specific `*Config` struct.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `ZImageConfig`
+- `UNetConfig`
+- `MMDiTConfig`
+- `LLMConfig`
+
+Preserve established acronym casing in type names, such as `UNet`, `MMDiT`,
+`LLM`, `VAE`, and `T5`.
+
+Place the config struct near the top of the model header, before the main model
+blocks and runner types that consume it.
+
+## Config Variables
+
+Variables and members that hold a config should be named `config`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```cpp
+UNetConfig config;
+UnetModelBlock unet;
+
+MMDiTRunner(...)
+    : DiffusionModelRunner(backend, params_backend, prefix),
+      config(MMDiTConfig::detect_from_weights(tensor_storage_map, prefix)),
+      mmdit(config) {
+}
+```
+
+Avoid alternate names such as `params`, `params_cfg`, `model_params`, or
+model-specific aliases unless an existing public API requires them.
+
+## Weight Detection
+
+If a model can derive configuration from loaded weight metadata, expose that
+logic as a static method on the config type:
+
+```cpp
+static XxxConfig detect_from_weights(const String2TensorStorage& tensor_storage_map,
+                                     const std::string& prefix);
+```
+
+Additional selector arguments are allowed when required by an existing model
+family, for example `SDVersion version` or an architecture enum:
+
+```cpp
+static UNetConfig detect_from_weights(const String2TensorStorage& tensor_storage_map,
+                                      const std::string& prefix,
+                                      SDVersion version = VERSION_SD1);
+```
+
+Use `TensorStorage` metadata, especially `n_dims` and `ne`, to infer shapes.
+Do not load or parse tensor data for config detection.
+
+Detection should respect `prefix`. For nested weights, construct full names from
+`prefix + "." + suffix` or filter entries with `starts_with(name, prefix)`.
+
+Do not add persistent config fields such as `inferred_from_weights` only to
+record whether detection happened. If the function needs to decide whether to
+print a debug line, keep that as local control flow inside `detect_from_weights`.
+
+## Logging
+
+When config values are inferred from weights, print one `LOG_DEBUG` line at the
+end of `detect_from_weights`.
+
+Example:
+
+```cpp
+LOG_DEBUG("llm: num_layers = %" PRId64 ", vocab_size = %" PRId64 ", hidden_size = %" PRId64 ", intermediate_size = %" PRId64,
+          config.num_layers,
+          config.vocab_size,
+          config.hidden_size,
+          config.intermediate_size);
+```
+
+Only print the config detection log when the function actually inferred values
+from weights. Do not duplicate the same config summary in runner constructors or
+model loading code.
+
+Use the correct format specifiers for field types, such as `%" PRId64 "` for
+`int64_t` and `%d` for `int`.
+
+## Runner And Model Responsibilities
+
+Runners should detect the config once and pass it into the model block:
+
+```cpp
+struct XxxRunner : public DiffusionModelRunner {
+    XxxConfig config;
+    XxxModel model;
+
+    XxxRunner(..., const String2TensorStorage& tensor_storage_map, const std::string prefix)
+        : DiffusionModelRunner(backend, params_backend, prefix),
+          config(XxxConfig::detect_from_weights(tensor_storage_map, prefix)),
+          model(config) {
+        model.init(params_ctx, tensor_storage_map, prefix);
+    }
+};
+```
+
+Model blocks should consume `config` directly instead of re-scanning weights in
+their constructors. Keep config-derived behavior centralized in the config
+struct.
+
+If a model has no weight-derived config today, it may still provide
+`detect_from_weights` for API consistency, but it should not print a config
+detection log unless it actually derives values from weights.

 Using `--offload-to-cpu` allows you to offload weights to the CPU, saving VRAM without reducing generation speed.

+## Use params backend to reduce VRAM or RAM usage.
+
+`--params-backend` controls where model parameters are kept. If it is not set, parameters use the same backend as `--backend`, so a GPU runtime backend also keeps parameters in VRAM.
+
+Use CPU params to reduce VRAM usage:
+
+```shell
+--backend cuda0 --params-backend cpu
+```
+
+This keeps model weights in system RAM and moves them to the runtime backend when needed. In the example CLI/server, `--offload-to-cpu` is a compatibility shortcut that prepends `*=cpu` to `--params-backend` before creating the context, so explicit module assignments can still override it:
+
+```shell
+--offload-to-cpu --params-backend te=disk

+
+Use disk params to reduce both VRAM and RAM usage:
+
+```shell
+--backend cuda0 --params-backend disk

+
+This reloads parameters from the model file on demand and releases them after use. It has the lowest memory residency, but can be slower because weights must be read again. `disk` is never selected implicitly; set it explicitly when RAM usage matters more than reload cost.

+# How to Use
+
+PiD is NVIDIA's Pixel Diffusion Decoder. It replaces the usual VAE decode or decode-then-upscale path with a pixel-space diffusion decoder conditioned on a
+source latent and text prompt.
+
+In stable-diffusion.cpp, PiD currently runs as an image edit pipeline: provide a reference image with `-r`/`--ref-image`, encode that image with a matching VAE, then let the PiD diffusion model decode/upscale directly to RGB.

+# PuLID-Flux face-identity preservation
+
+stable-diffusion.cpp supports the [PuLID-Flux](https://github.com/ToTheBeginning/PuLID)
+identity-injection technique on top of Flux.1 (schnell or dev) models.
+Given a single source portrait, PuLID-Flux produces new generations that
+preserve the source person's face across arbitrary scenes, poses, and
+prompts.
+
+Unlike PhotoMaker (which extracts the identity inside the inference
+process from a directory of images), PuLID-Flux's identity extractor is
+a heavy stack (insightface ArcFace + EVA-CLIP-L + IDFormer encoder) that
+is impractical to port to C++/ggml. To keep this implementation small and
+cross-vendor, **stable-diffusion.cpp consumes a precomputed identity
+embedding** produced by an external Python tool that runs once per source
+portrait. Everything downstream of that one-shot extraction is C++ and
+runs on any backend (Vulkan, CUDA, Metal, ROCm, CPU).
+
+## Architecture summary
+
+The PuLID-Flux contribution to the Flux denoise loop is a stack of 20
+small cross-attention modules (`PerceiverAttentionCA`) inserted between
+the Flux transformer blocks:
+
+- After every 2nd of the 19 double-stream blocks (10 hook points)
+- After every 4th of the 38 single-stream blocks (10 hook points)
+
+Each cross-attention layer takes the current image tokens as query, the
+32-token / 2048-dim identity embedding as key+value, and adds its output
+(scaled by `id_weight`, typically 1.0) back to the image tokens.
+
+## Required weights
+
+Three files in addition to the standard Flux weight set:
+
+1. **Flux base** (transformer + VAE + clip_l + t5xxl) -- exactly as
+   [docs/flux.md](flux.md) describes.
+2. **PuLID weights** -- download from
+   [guozinan/PuLID](https://huggingface.co/guozinan/PuLID):
+   - `pulid_flux_v0.9.0.safetensors` or `pulid_flux_v0.9.1.safetensors`
+     (recommended; this implementation is verified against v0.9.1)
+   - **v1.1 (`pulid_v1.1.safetensors`) is NOT yet supported** -- it uses
+     renamed keys (`id_adapter_attn_layers.*` instead of `pulid_ca.*`)
+     and possibly different module structure. Future PR.
+3. **Identity embedding (.pulidembd)** -- produced by the precompute
+   tool below.
+
+## Precompute the identity embedding
+
+The precompute tool runs the PyTorch identity-extraction stack on a
+single portrait image and writes the resulting `(32, 2048)` embedding
+to a `.pulidembd` binary file (about 131 KB). Run it once per source
+person; the same file is reused for any number of generations.
+
+A reference Python script is provided alongside this docs file at
+[`script/pulid_extract_id.py`](../script/pulid_extract_id.py). It
+requires:
+- A working CUDA / CPU PyTorch stack
+- `insightface`, `facexlib`, `eva-clip`, `torchvision`, `opencv-python`,
+  `huggingface_hub`, `gguf`
+- The PuLID weights file (same one stable-diffusion.cpp will load below)
+- The ToTheBeginning/PuLID repo's `pulid/` package (including
+  `pulid/pipeline_flux.py`) and `eva_clip/` package on `PYTHONPATH`; `flux/`
+  is not needed for embedding extraction
+
+Run it as:
+
+```
+python pulid_extract_id.py \
+  --portrait /path/to/source-photo.jpg \
+  --pulid-weights /path/to/pulid_flux_v0.9.1.safetensors \
+  --out /path/to/source.pulidembd
+```
+
+## Format (gguf)
+
+The embedding is a standard **gguf** container holding a single tensor:
+
+```
+tensor name : "pulid_id"
+shape       : [token_dim, num_tokens]   (ggml order; typically [2048, 32])
+type        : F16 (also accepts F32 / BF16)
+metadata    : general.architecture = "pulid", pulid.version = 1
+```
+
+stable-diffusion.cpp loads it with the normal gguf reader
+(`gguf_init_from_file`) and converts to fp32 at load time -- no bespoke
+parser. Total file size for the typical (32, 2048, fp16) case is ~131 KB.
+
+## Command-line usage
+
+```
+.\bin\Release\sd-cli.exe \
+  --diffusion-model     models\flux1-schnell-Q4_K_S.gguf \
+  --vae                 models\ae.safetensors \
+  --clip_l              models\clip_l.safetensors \
+  --t5xxl               models\t5xxl_fp16.safetensors \
+  --pulid-weights       models\pulid_flux_v0.9.1.safetensors \
+  --pulid-id-embedding  source.pulidembd \
+  --pulid-id-weight     1.0 \
+  -p "candid photograph of a young woman on a beach at sunset" \
+  --cfg-scale 1.0 --sampling-method euler --steps 4 -W 512 -H 512 \
+  --seed 42 --clip-on-cpu \
+  -o out.png
+```
+
+For Flux Dev (instead of Schnell), add `--guidance 3.5` and `--steps 20`.
+
+## Flags
+
+| Flag                       | Purpose                                                           |
+|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `--pulid-weights <path>`   | Path to `pulid_flux_v0.9.x.safetensors`. Loaded with the model.   |
+| `--pulid-id-embedding <p>` | Path to a `.pulidembd` binary produced by the precompute tool.    |
+| `--pulid-id-weight <f>`    | Identity-injection strength. Typical 0.7-1.2; default 1.0.        |
+
+All three flags must be set together to activate PuLID. Setting only
+`--pulid-weights` (no embedding) loads the weights but disables injection
+at runtime. Setting `--pulid-id-weight 0` zeros out the contribution
+(useful for falsification testing: outputs should be byte-identical to
+a no-PuLID run with the same seed).
+
+## Memory budget
+
+At 512x512, 4 steps (Schnell), the 20 cross-attention layers add roughly
+10% to denoise time and almost nothing to peak VRAM. Tested on a 12 GB
+consumer card alongside Flux Schnell Q4 GGUF + CPU-offloaded clip_l and
+t5xxl + GPU-resident VAE.
+
+At 1024x1024 with Flux Dev Q4 + 20 steps + PuLID, the VAE decode compute
+buffer doesn't fit on a 12 GB card even with `--vae-on-cpu`. Workaround:
+explicitly route VAE to the CPU backend instead of the offload flag:
+
+```
+--backend "diffusion=vulkan0,vae=cpu"
+```
+
+The `--vae-on-cpu` flag offloads VAE weights but leaves the compute graph
+on the default backend; this is existing stable-diffusion.cpp behavior,
+not a PuLID-specific issue. Documented here because anyone running PuLID
+at 1024 will hit it.
+
+## Backend selection
+
+The standard `--backend` flag works as documented. Common patterns:
+
+```
+# AMD Vulkan
+--backend "diffusion=vulkan0,vae=cpu"
+
+# NVIDIA Vulkan
+--backend "diffusion=vulkan1,vae=cpu"
+
+# CUDA
+--backend "diffusion=cuda0,vae=cpu"
+```
+
+The PuLID cross-attention layers run on the same backend as the main
+diffusion model. They have not yet been independently profiled on every
+backend; only Vulkan and CPU have been tested by the original contributor.
+
+## Verification
+
+A three-way SHA-256 check is the recommended sanity test when bringing up
+a new combination of model + backend + hardware:
+
+| Run                                          | Expected hash relation             |
+|----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
+| A: no `--pulid-*` flags                      | baseline                           |
+| B: PuLID flags, `--pulid-id-weight 0.0`      | **byte-identical to A**            |
+| C: PuLID flags, `--pulid-id-weight 1.0`      | **different from A,B**, preserves source identity |
+
+If A and C differ but A and B differ too, the injection is allocating
+or computing something even at zero weight -- likely a bug.
+
+## Limitations / not yet supported
+
+- **`--skip-layers` (skip-layer-guidance / SLG) combined with PuLID** is not
+  supported. The `pulid_ca` index advances per non-skipped block, so a
+  skipped block silently misaligns the cross-attention weight assignment
+  vs. the trained intervals. The reference PyTorch implementation does
+  not have SLG either, so there is no well-defined behavior to emulate.
+  Use either feature alone.
+- **PuLID v1.1 weights** (`pulid_v1.1.safetensors`, renamed key layout).
+- **Multiple ID images.** The reference PyTorch implementation can fuse
+  several portraits into one embedding for stronger identity. This
+  implementation accepts a single embedding produced from one or more
+  images by the external precompute tool.
+- **Negative-prompt branch of CFG.** PuLID only injects on the positive
+  conditioning path in the published reference, and the implementation
+  here follows that. Flux's distilled guidance doesn't run a separate
+  uncond branch in normal use, so this matters only for `--true-cfg`
+  workflows that aren't standard for Flux.
+- **Backends other than Vulkan and CPU** are untested by the original
+  contributor. The implementation is pure-ggml and should work on CUDA,
+  ROCm, and Metal, but verification by users on those backends is
+  welcomed.

+# Building and Using the RPC Server with `stable-diffusion.cpp`
+
+This guide covers how to build a version of [the RPC server from `llama.cpp`](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/rpc/README.md) that is compatible with your version of `stable-diffusion.cpp` to manage multi-backends setups. RPC allows you to offload specific model components to a remote server.
+
+> **Note on Model Location:** The model files (e.g., `.safetensors` or `.gguf`) remain on the **Client** machine. The client parses the file and transmits the necessary tensor data and computational graphs to the server. The server does not need to store the model files locally.
+
+## 1. Building `stable-diffusion.cpp` with RPC client
+
+First, you should build the client application from source. It requires `SD_RPC=ON` to include the RPC backend to your client.
+
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake .. \
+    -DSD_RPC=ON \
+    # Add other build flags here (e.g., -DSD_VULKAN=ON)
+cmake --build . --config Release -j $(nproc)
+```
+
+> **Note:** Ensure you add the other flags you would normally use (e.g., `-DSD_VULKAN=ON`, `-DSD_CUDA=ON`, `-DSD_HIPBLAS=ON`, or `-DGGML_METAL=ON`), for more information about building `stable-diffusion.cpp` from source, please refer to the [build.md](build.md) documentation.
+
+## 2. Ensure `llama.cpp` is at the correct commit
+
+`stable-diffusion.cpp`'s RPC client is designed to work with a specific version of `llama.cpp` (compatible with the `ggml` submodule) to ensure API compatibility. The commit hash for `llama.cpp` is stored in `ggml/scripts/sync-llama.last`.
+
+> **Start from Root:** Perform these steps from the root of your `stable-diffusion.cpp` directory.
+
+1.  Read the target commit hash from the submodule tracker:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Linux / WSL / MacOS
+    HASH=$(cat ggml/scripts/sync-llama.last)
+
+    # Windows (PowerShell)
+    $HASH = Get-Content -Path "ggml\scripts\sync-llama.last"
+    ```
+
+2.  Clone `llama.cpp` at the target commit .
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp.git
+    cd llama.cpp
+    git checkout $HASH
+    ```
+    To save on download time and storage, you can use a shallow clone to download only the target commit:
+    ```bash
+    mkdir -p llama.cpp
+    cd llama.cpp
+    git init
+    git remote add origin https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp.git
+    git fetch --depth 1 origin $HASH
+    git checkout FETCH_HEAD
+    ```
+
+## 3. Build `llama.cpp` (RPC Server)
+
+The RPC server acts as the worker. You must explicitly enable the **backend** (the hardware interface, such as CUDA for Nvidia, Metal for Apple Silicon, or Vulkan) when building, otherwise the server will default to using only the CPU.
+
+To find the correct flags for your system, refer to the official documentation for the [`llama.cpp`](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/docs/build.md) repository.
+
+> **Crucial:** You must include the compiler flags required to satisfy the API compatibility with `stable-diffusion.cpp` (`-DGGML_MAX_NAME=128`). Without this flag, `GGML_MAX_NAME` will default to `64` for the server, and data transfers between the client and server will fail. Of course, `-DGGML_RPC` must also be enabled.
+>
+> I recommend disabling the `LLAMA_CURL` flag to avoid unnecessary dependencies, and disabling shared library builds to avoid potential conflicts.
+
+> **Build Target:** We are specifically building the `rpc-server` target. This prevents the build system from compiling the entire `llama.cpp` suite (like `llama-server`), making the build significantly faster.

+```
+
+## 4. Usage
+
+Once both applications are built, you can run the server and the client to manage your GPU allocation.
+
+### Step A: Run the RPC Server
+
+Start the server. It listens for connections on the default address (usually `localhost:50052`). If your server is on a different machine, ensure the server binds to the correct interface and your firewall allows the connection.
+
+**On the Server :**
+If running on the same machine, you can use the default address:
+
+```bash
+./rpc-server
+```
+
+If you want to allow connections from other machines on the network:
+
+```bash
+./rpc-server --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+> **Security Warning:** The RPC server does not currently support authentication or encryption. **Only run the server on trusted local networks**. Never expose the RPC server directly to the open internet.
+
+> **Drivers & Hardware:** Ensure the Server machine has the necessary drivers installed and functional (e.g., Nvidia Drivers for CUDA, Vulkan SDK, or Metal). If no devices are found, the server will simply fallback to CPU usage.
+
+<!-- ### Step B: Check if the client is able to connect to the server and see the available devices
+
+We're assuming the server is running on your local machine, and listening on the default port `50052`. If it's running on a different machine, you can replace `localhost` with the IP address of the server.
+
+**On the Client:**
+
+```bash
+./sd-cli --rpc-servers localhost:50052 --list-devices
+```
+
+If the server is running and the client is able to connect, you should see `RPC0    localhost:50052` in the list of devices.
+
+Example output:
+(Client built without GPU acceleration, two GPUs available on the server)
+
+```
+List of available GGML devices:
+Name    Description
+-------------------
+CPU     AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor
+RPC0    localhost:50052
+RPC1    localhost:50052
+``` -->
+
+### Step B: Run with RPC device
+
+If everything is working correctly, you can now run the client while offloading some or all of the work to the RPC server.
+
+Example: Setting the main backend to the RPC0 device for doing all the work on the server.
+
+```bash
+./sd-cli -m models/sd1.5.safetensors -p "A cat" --rpc-servers localhost:50052  --backend RPC0
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scaling: Multiple RPC Servers
+
+You can connect the client to multiple RPC servers simultaneously to scale out your hardware usage.
+
+Example: A main machine (192.168.1.10) with 3 GPUs, with one GPU running CUDA and the other two running Vulkan, and a second machine (192.168.1.11) only one GPU.
+
+**On the first machine (Running two server instances):**
+
+**Terminal 1 (CUDA):**
+
+```bash
+# Linux / WSL
+export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
+cd ./build_cuda/bin/Release
+./rpc-server --host 0.0.0.0
+
+# Windows PowerShell
+$env:CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0"
+cd .\build_cuda\bin\Release
+./rpc-server --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+**Terminal 2 (Vulkan):**
+
+```bash
+cd ./build_vulkan/bin/Release
+# ignore the first GPU (used by CUDA server)
+./rpc-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 50053 -d Vulkan1,Vulkan2
+```
+
+**On the second machine:**
+
+```bash
+cd ./build/bin/Release
+./rpc-server --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+**On the Client:**
+Pass multiple server addresses separated by commas.
+
+```bash
+./sd-cli --rpc-servers 192.168.1.10:50052,192.168.1.10:50053,192.168.1.11:50052 [...]
+```
+
+The client will map these servers to sequential device IDs (e.g., RPC0 from the first server, RPC2, RPC3 from the second, and RPC4 from the third). With this setup, you could for example use RPC0 for the main backend, RPC1 and RPC2 for the text encoders, and RPC3 for the VAE.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Performance Considerations
+
+RPC performance is heavily dependent on network bandwidth, as large weights and activations must be transferred back and forth over the network, especially for large models, or when using high resolutions. For best results, ensure your network connection is stable and has sufficient bandwidth (>1Gbps recommended). This shoumd not be a concern if you are running the server and client on the same machine, as the data transfer will happen over the loopback interface.

+# How to Use
+
+SeFi-Image uses a Flux2-style dual-time transformer (semantic + texture streams), the standard Flux2 VAE, and Qwen3-VL as the LLM text encoder. Tech report: [arXiv:2606.22568](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.22568).
+
+## Download weights
+
+The SeFi-Image family ships in three scales (1B / 2B / 5B) and three families (Base / RL / turbo), all gated on Hugging Face under https://huggingface.co/SeFi-Image.
+
+- 1B and 2B variants pair with Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct.
+- 5B variants pair with Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct.
+- All variants use the standard Flux2 VAE (`flux2_ae.safetensors` from https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev).
+
+Convert the transformer and text encoder to sd.cpp safetensors:
+
+```bash
+python3 script/convert_sefi.py     <hf_repo_dir>                          <out_dir>/sefi_<scale>_<family>.safetensors
+python3 script/convert_qwen3_vl.py  <hf_repo_dir>/Qwen3-VL-XB-Instruct    <out_dir>/qwen3_vl_<X>b.safetensors
+```
+
+## Variant defaults
+
+| Family | timestep_shift_alpha | steps | cfg-scale |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Base | 0.3 | 50 | 4.0 |
+| RL | 0.3 | 50 | 4.0 |
+| turbo | 1.0 | 4 | 1.0 |
+
+The dispatcher picks `alpha` from the filename (`turbo` substring => 1.0, otherwise 0.3). Override via `--extra-sample-args sefi_alpha=<value>` or `sefi_delta_t=<value>`.
+
+## Examples
+

+
+What this example does:
+
+* `--diffusion-model` selects the standalone diffusion model
+* `--vae` selects the VAE decoder
+* `--llm` selects the text encoder / language model used by this pipeline
+* `--diffusion-fa` enables flash attention in the diffusion model
+* `--offload-to-cpu` reduces VRAM pressure by keeping weights in RAM when possible
+* `-v` enables verbose logging
+* `--cfg-scale 1.0` sets the default CFG scale for generation
+
+After the server starts successfully:
+
+* the web UI is available at `http://127.0.0.1:1234/`
+* the native async API is available under `/sdcpp/v1/...`
+* the compatibility APIs are available under `/v1/...` and `/sdapi/v1/...`
+
+If you want to use a different host or port, pass:
+
+```bash
+--listen-ip <ip> --listen-port <port>
+```
+
+# Frontend
+
+## Build with Frontend
+
+The server can optionally build the web frontend and embed it into the binary as `gen_index_html.h`.
+
+### Requirements
+
+Install the following tools:
+
+* **Node.js** ≥ 20
+  https://nodejs.org/
+
+* **pnpm** ≥ 10
+  Install via npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g pnpm
+```
+
+Verify installation:
+
+```bash
+node -v
+pnpm -v
+```
+
+### Install frontend dependencies
+
+Go to the frontend directory and install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/server/frontend
+pnpm install
+```
+
+### Build the server with CMake
+
+Enable the frontend build option when configuring CMake:
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DSD_SERVER_BUILD_FRONTEND=ON
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+
+If `pnpm` is available, the build system will automatically run:
+
+```
+pnpm run build
+pnpm run build:header
+```
+
+and embed the generated frontend into the server binary.
+
+## Frontend Repository
+
+The web frontend is maintained in a **separate repository**, https://github.com/leejet/sdcpp-webui.
+
+If you want to modify the UI or frontend logic, please submit pull requests to the **frontend repository**.
+
+This repository (`stable-diffusion.cpp`) only vendors the frontend periodically. Changes from the frontend repo are synchronized:
+
+* approximately **every 1–2 weeks**, or
+* when there are **major frontend updates**
+
+Because of this, frontend changes will **not appear here immediately** after being merged upstream.
+
+## Using an external frontend
+
+By default, the server uses the **embedded frontend** generated during the build (`gen_index_html.h`).
+
+You can also serve a custom frontend file instead of the embedded one by using:
+
+```bash
+--serve-html-path <path-to-index.html>
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+sd-server --serve-html-path ./index.html
+```
+
+In this case, the server will load and serve the specified `index.html` file instead of the embedded frontend. This is useful when:
+
+* developing or testing frontend changes
+* using a custom UI
+* avoiding rebuilding the binary after frontend modifications
+
+# Usage
+
+For detailed command-line arguments, run:
+
+```bash
+./bin/sd-server -h
 ```
