Two large changes in kernel-builder this week:

kernel-builder now links libstdc++ dynamically. To support a wide range of systems, we build against libstdc++ from manylinux_2_28 (EL 8 and later).

Following our Torch support policy that the current and previous Torch versions are supported, Torch 2.10 support was removed. We will soon also support the Torch stable ABI, so that it is possible to write kernels that support a large number of Torch versions.

kernels 0.12 is out! 🎉

Changes:

* Support for kernel version branches to gracefully roll out kernel API changes.
* Support for PyTorch 2.10.
* kernel-builder is now merged into the kernels repo.
* Initial support for standardized kernel benchmarks.

Fast LoRA inference for Flux with Diffusers and PEFT 🚨

There are great materials that demonstrate how to optimize inference for popular image generation models, such as Flux. However, very few cover how to serve LoRAs fast, despite LoRAs being an inseparable part of their adoption.

In our latest post, @BenjaminB and I show different techniques to optimize LoRA inference for the Flux family of models for image generation. Our recipe includes the use of:

1. torch.compile
2. Flash Attention 3 (when compatible)
3. Dynamic FP8 weight quantization (when compatible)
4. Hotswapping for avoiding recompilation during swapping new LoRAs 🤯

We have tested our recipe with Flux.1-Dev on both H100 and RTX 4090. We achieve at least a *2x speedup* in either of the GPUs. We believe our recipe is grounded in the reality of how LoRA-based use cases are generally served. So, we hope this will be beneficial to the community 🤗

Even though our recipe was tested primarily with NVIDIA GPUs, it should also work with AMD GPUs.

kernels 0.8.0 is out: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.8.0

This release refines kernel selection in the kernelize function:

• You can now register kernels for certain CUDA capability ranges.
• Rather than doing exact mating of modes, fall back to other compatible modes. If you are kernelizing for inference, but you only registered a training + torch.compile kernel, it will use that kernel since it is compatible with inference as well.

Kernels 0.7.0 is out: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.7.0 🚀

This release makes it possible to register multiple kernels for a layer. Do you have a super-fast kernel for inference and another kernel for training? Register them both and kernelize will pick the kernel depending on whether you are going to do training or inference.

We have been working on a project called kernels. kernels makes it possible to load compute kernels directly from the Hub! 🚀

We plan to give kernels a more proper introduction soon. But for those who have been following along, we are happy to announce a new release:

- New layer API with torch.compile support.
- Experimental support for loading Apple Silicon Metal 🤘 Kernels.
- Generate wheels from Hub kernels for legacy deployments.

Diffusers supports a good variety of quantization backends. It can be challenging to navigate through them, given the complex nature of diffusion pipelines in general.

So, @derekl35 set out to write a comprehensive guide that puts users in the front seat. Explore the different backends we support, learn the trade-offs they offer, and finally, check out the cool space we built that lets you compare quantization results.

Give it a go here:
