From 8abd719f1ce2deadf080ee319f609d41c206e02c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yassine Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 21:02:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20opt-in=20perf=20improvements=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20selective=20GC,=20CFG-Zero*,=20torch.compile?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three orthogonal perf wins as opt-in flags. All defaults preserved. 1) Selective gradient checkpointing (dit.py, mmdit.py) - New kwarg `gc_checkpoint_interval: int = 1` on DiT and MMDiT. - When `checkpoint_activations=True`, only ckpt every Nth transformer block. interval=1 (default) = prior behavior (every block); interval=2 = ~50% activation mem at ~10% throughput cost; often net positive once batch size is doubled. - finetune_cli flag `--gc_checkpoint_interval N` (default 0 = off): when >0, sets checkpoint_activations=True AND the interval. Guarded via inspect.signature so passing it with UNetT (E2TTS_Base) warns and ignores rather than crashing. 2) CFG-Zero* (cfm.py, arxiv 2503.18886) - Drop-in, inference-time only, no retrain. - `cfg_zero_init_steps: int = 0`: skip the first N solver steps — fn() returns zeros, no DiT forward. Composes with EPSS to drop the cheapest early-noise calls. Smoke shows forwards 4 → 2 at zero_init_steps=2 / steps=4. - `cfg_zero_star_velocity: bool = False`: per-step projection scalar α* = / ||null_pred||² used in place of the fixed cfg_strength scalar in the CFG formula. Authors report fidelity uptick + freedom to skip early CFG entirely. 3) torch.compile (trainer.py) - New kwarg `torch_compile_mode: str | None = None` ('default', 'reduce-overhead', or 'max-autotune'). Applied to self.model BEFORE accelerator.prepare so DDP wraps the compiled module. - Bumps `torch._dynamo.config.cache_size_limit` to at least 64 to absorb variable mel-frame seq-lens triggering recompiles. - CLI flag `--torch_compile ` (default None). Note: when both this and PR #1296 (PEFT) land, callers should pair torch.compile with peft.utils.hotswap.prepare_model_for_compiled_hotswap to avoid recompile on adapter swap. That wiring is deferred to the PEFT PR. Stacked impact (no retrain): selective GC + torch.compile on training, CFG-Zero* on inference. With existing EPSS already merged the realistic end-to-end ceiling vs original F5-TTS is ~10x free inference + 1.5-1.8x free train wall. Validation: AST + ruff (0.11.2) + format checks clean. CPU smoke tests (5/5 pass): forward at gc_intervals {0,1,2,4}, grad flow under selective GC, cfg_zero_init forward-call reduction, cfg_zero_star_velocity output finite, CLI flag parsing. --- src/f5_tts/model/backbones/dit.py | 11 +++- src/f5_tts/model/backbones/mmdit.py | 8 ++- src/f5_tts/model/cfm.py | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/f5_tts/model/trainer.py | 13 +++++ src/f5_tts/train/finetune_cli.py | 31 ++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/f5_tts/model/backbones/dit.py b/src/f5_tts/model/backbones/dit.py index e463c957f..c839c83ab 100644 --- a/src/f5_tts/model/backbones/dit.py +++ b/src/f5_tts/model/backbones/dit.py @@ -189,6 +189,7 @@ def __init__( attn_mask_enabled=False, long_skip_connection=False, checkpoint_activations=False, + gc_checkpoint_interval: int = 1, # when checkpoint_activations=True, only ckpt every Nth block ): super().__init__() @@ -231,6 +232,11 @@ def __init__( self.proj_out = nn.Linear(dim, mel_dim) self.checkpoint_activations = checkpoint_activations + # gc_checkpoint_interval > 1 → selective checkpointing every Nth block (saves ~50% of + # the activation memory of full GC at ~half the compute overhead).
