Use --no-deps for ALL packages (unsloth, unsloth-zoo, and runtime deps)
since the current PyPI metadata for unsloth still declares torch as a
hard dependency. Runtime deps (typer, pydantic, safetensors,
transformers, etc.) are installed from no-torch-runtime.txt with
--no-deps to prevent transitive torch resolution from accelerate, peft,
trl, and sentence-transformers.
no-torch-runtime.txt now includes unsloth's own direct deps (typer,
pydantic, pyyaml, nest-asyncio) since --no-deps skips those too.
install.sh installs no-torch-runtime.txt directly (via helper function
_find_no_torch_runtime). install.ps1 does the same via
Find-NoTorchRuntimeFile. SKIP_STUDIO_BASE stays at 1 to avoid setup.sh
fast-path issues.
install_python_stack.py NO_TORCH branch does the same for unsloth
studio update, using package_name instead of hardcoded "unsloth".
The [huggingfacenotorch] extras only exist in pyproject.toml but are
NOT published on PyPI, so uv pip install "unsloth[huggingfacenotorch]"
fails on fresh installs from the registry.
Fix: add studio/backend/requirements/no-torch-runtime.txt with the
runtime deps (safetensors, transformers, datasets, accelerate, etc.)
that mirror [huggingfacenotorch] from pyproject.toml. In no-torch mode:
1. install.sh/ps1 install unsloth + unsloth-zoo with --no-deps
2. SKIP_STUDIO_BASE=0 so install_python_stack.py's NO_TORCH branch runs
3. install_python_stack.py installs no-torch-runtime.txt

- setup.ps1: always show git pull failure warning, not just in
verbose mode
* Show winget error output for Git and CMake installs on failure
Same capture-and-print-on-failure pattern already used for
Node, Python, CUDA, and OpenSSL winget installs.
* fix: preserve stderr for _run_quiet error messages in setup.sh
The step() helper writes to stdout, but _run_quiet's error header
was originally sent to stderr (>&2). Without the redirect, callers
that separate stdout/stderr would miss the failure headline while
still seeing the log body on stderr. Add >&2 to both step calls
inside _run_quiet to match main's behavior.
* feat: add --verbose flag to setup and update commands
Wire UNSLOTH_VERBOSE=1 through _run_setup_script() so that
'unsloth studio update --verbose' (and the deprecated 'setup')
passes the flag to setup.sh / setup.ps1 / install_python_stack.py.

The previous --no-deps approach skipped ALL dependencies, not just
torch. This left safetensors, transformers, datasets, accelerate, etc.
missing, causing PackageNotFoundError at runtime.
Fix: in no-torch mode, install unsloth[huggingfacenotorch] (which pulls
all runtime deps except torch), then install unsloth-zoo with --no-deps
(since zoo's published metadata still declares torch as a hard dep).
This gives a working no-torch environment with all non-torch packages.
Applied to all three installer files: install.sh, install.ps1, and
studio/install_python_stack.py.
* fix: install.sh Mac Intel compatibility + Studio no-torch support (#4621)
On Intel Macs (x86_64), PyTorch has no wheels for torch >= 2.3, so the
installer crashes. Even when torch is absent, Studio crashes on startup
because two files have bare top-level torch imports.
Studio's GGUF inference (llama.cpp) does not need PyTorch. Training and
HF-inference already isolate torch to subprocesses. Only 2 files in the
server startup chain had top-level torch imports preventing startup.
Changes:
- install.sh: detect architecture, default to Python 3.12 on Intel Mac,
skip torch install, add Python 3.13.8 guard for arm64, pass
UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH env var to setup.sh
- data_collators.py: remove unused `import torch` (no torch.* refs)
- chat_templates.py: lazy-import IterableDataset into function bodies
- install_python_stack.py: add IS_MACOS/NO_TORCH constants, skip
torch-dependent packages, skip overrides.txt, skip triton on macOS
No existing working flow changes. Linux/WSL and macOS arm64 behavior is
identical.
* tests: add test suite for Mac Intel compat + no-torch mode
Shell tests (test_mac_intel_compat.sh):
- version_ge edge cases (9 tests)
- Architecture detection for Darwin x86_64/arm64, Linux x86_64/aarch64
- get_torch_index_url returns cpu on simulated Darwin
- UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH propagation to both setup.sh branches
Python unit tests (test_no_torch_filtering.py):
- _filter_requirements with NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES
- NO_TORCH env var parsing (true/1/TRUE/false/0/unset)
- IS_MACOS constant check
- Overrides skip and triton macOS skip guards
Python import tests (test_studio_import_no_torch.py):
- data_collators.py loads in isolated no-torch venv
- chat_templates.py has no top-level torch imports
- Negative control confirms import torch fails without torch
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* tests: add E2E sandbox tests for Mac Intel no-torch mode
Replace static/synthetic test stubs with real sandbox tests:
- Shell: E2E uv venv creation at Python 3.12, mock uv shim to verify
torch install is skipped when MAC_INTEL=true, dynamic env propagation
test for UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH in both local and non-local install paths
- Python filtering: test real extras.txt and extras-no-deps.txt with
NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES, subprocess mock of install_python_stack() for
5 platform configs (NO_TORCH+macOS, Windows+NO_TORCH, normal Linux,
Windows-only, macOS-only), VCS URL and env marker edge cases
- Python imports: parametrized Python 3.12+3.13 venv fixture, dataclass
instantiation for all 3 collator classes, chat_templates.py exec with
stubs, negative controls proving import torch and torchao install fail
in no-torch venvs
91 total tests, all passing.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* fix: address reviewer findings for Intel Mac no-torch mode
P1 fixes:
- Auto-infer NO_TORCH in install_python_stack.py via platform.machine()
so `unsloth studio update` preserves GGUF-only mode without needing
the UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH env var (6/10 reviewers)
- Add openai-whisper and transformers-cfg to NO_TORCH_SKIP_PACKAGES
since both have unconditional torch dependencies (4/10 reviewers)
- Skip unsloth-zoo on Intel Mac --local installs (depends on torch)
in both migrated and fresh install paths (1/10)
- Recreate stale 3.13 venvs as 3.12 on Intel Mac re-runs (1/10)
- Detect Apple Silicon under Rosetta via sysctl hw.optional.arm64
and warn user to use native arm64 terminal (1/10)
P2 fixes:
- Wire new test files into tests/run_all.sh (4/10 reviewers)
- Add update-path tests (skip_base=False) for Intel Mac
- Add _infer_no_torch tests for platform auto-detection
P3 fixes:
- Fix macOS progress bar total (triton step skipped but was counted)
- Fix temp file leak when Windows + NO_TORCH filters stack
All tests pass: 30 shell, 66 Python (96 total).
* feat: add --python override flag to install.sh
Lets users force a specific Python version, e.g. ./install.sh --python 3.12.
Addresses M2 Mac users whose systems resolve to a problematic 3.13.x patch.
When --python is set, the Intel Mac stale-venv guard and 3.13.8 auto-downgrade
are skipped so the user's choice is respected.
* tests: add comprehensive E2E sandbox tests for no-torch mode
Add test_e2e_no_torch_sandbox.py with 7 test groups (43 tests total)
covering the full no-torch import chain, edge cases, and install logic:
- Group 1: BEFORE vs AFTER import chain comparison (proves the bug
existed and the fix works by synthetically prepending top-level torch
imports)
- Group 2: Dataclass instantiation without torch
- Group 3: Edge cases with broken/fake torch modules on sys.path
- Group 4: Hardware detection fallback to CPU without torch
- Group 5: install.sh flag parsing, version resolution, arch detection
- Group 6: install_python_stack.py NO_TORCH filtering
- Group 7: Live server startup without torch (marked @server, skipped
when studio venv is unavailable)
All 43 tests pass on both Python 3.12 and 3.13 isolated venvs.

* feat: add --no-torch flag to install.sh/ps1, fix lazy import bug in dataset formatting

try/except ImportError so dataset.map() works without torch installed
- Fix format_conversion.py: same lazy import fix for convert_chatml_to_alpaca
and convert_alpaca_to_chatml
- Add --no-torch flag to install.sh with unified SKIP_TORCH variable
(driven by --no-torch flag OR MAC_INTEL auto-detection)
- Add --no-torch flag to install.ps1 with $SkipTorch variable
- Print CPU hint when no GPU detected and --no-torch not set
- Replace MAC_INTEL guards with SKIP_TORCH in torch install sections
- Update shell tests (40 pass) and Python tests (90 pass)
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* fix: address reviewer findings for --no-torch installer paths
- Fix migrated-env branch in install.sh and install.ps1: check
SKIP_TORCH first, then branch on STUDIO_LOCAL_INSTALL. Previously
SKIP_TORCH+non-local fell into else and installed unsloth-zoo (which
depends on torch), defeating --no-torch mode.
- Fix $env:UNSLOTH_NO_TORCH leak in install.ps1: always set to "true"
or "false" instead of only setting on the true branch. Prevents stale
no-torch state from leaking across runs in the same PS session.
- Fix install_python_stack.py update path: add NO_TORCH guard around
base.txt install so unsloth studio update does not reinstall
unsloth-zoo (which depends on torch) in no-torch mode.
* fix: install unsloth + unsloth-zoo with --no-deps in no-torch mode
Instead of skipping unsloth-zoo entirely (which breaks unsloth's
dependency on it), install both packages with --no-deps so they are
present but torch is not pulled in transitively. Applied consistently
across all no-torch paths: migrated-env, fresh-local, fresh-non-local
in install.sh, install.ps1, and install_python_stack.py.
* chore: temporarily remove test files (will be added in a follow-up)
* refactor: deduplicate SKIP_TORCH conditional branches in installers
Collapse if/else blocks that differ only by --no-deps into a single
branch with a conditional flag variable. Applied to migrated-env and
fresh-local paths in install.sh, install.ps1, and install_python_stack.py.
* fix: apply --no-deps to fresh non-local --no-torch install path
The non-local else branch was missing $_no_deps_arg/$noDepsArg, so
uv pip install unsloth would resolve torch from PyPI metadata (the
published unsloth package still declares torch as a hard dep). Now
--no-deps is applied consistently to all SKIP_TORCH code paths.

* feat: migrate old .venv layout in install.sh instead of always nuking
* feat: validate old .venv with torch CUDA test before migration, recovery message on launch failure
* fix: try CUDA then fall back to CPU for migration validation
* fix: upgrade unsloth/unsloth-zoo with --reinstall-package on migration to preserve torch
* remove: delete unused unsloth ui command (use unsloth studio instead)
* Fix Windows venv path mismatch between install.ps1, setup.ps1, and studio.py
install.ps1 was creating the venv CWD-relative ($VenvName = "unsloth_studio"),
setup.ps1 was using an absolute path to ".unsloth\studio\.venv", and studio.py
looks for ".unsloth\studio\unsloth_studio". All three paths were different, so
the Windows installer would never produce a working Studio setup.
install.ps1:
- Use absolute $StudioHome + $VenvDir matching the Linux install.sh layout
- Add 3-way migration: old .venv at STUDIO_HOME, CWD-relative ~/unsloth_studio
from the previous install.ps1, or fresh creation with torch validation
- For migrated envs, upgrade unsloth while preserving existing torch/CUDA wheels
- Set SKIP_STUDIO_BASE=1 before calling setup.ps1 (matches install.sh behavior)
- Fix launch instructions to use the absolute venv path
setup.ps1:
- Change $VenvDir from ".unsloth\studio\.venv" to ".unsloth\studio\unsloth_studio"
- Add SKIP_STUDIO_BASE guard: error out if venv is missing when called from
install.ps1 (which should have already created it)
- Differentiate "Setup" vs "Update" in banners based on SKIP_STUDIO_BASE
* setup.ps1: unconditionally error if venv missing, matching setup.sh
setup.sh always errors out if the venv does not exist (line 224-228),
telling the user to run install.sh first. setup.ps1 was conditionally
creating a bare venv with python -m venv when SKIP_STUDIO_BASE was not
set, which would produce an empty venv with no torch or unsloth. Now
setup.ps1 matches setup.sh: always error, always point to install.ps1.
* Fix --torch-backend=auto CPU solver dead-end on Linux, macOS, and Windows
On CPU-only machines, `uv pip install unsloth --torch-backend=auto`
falls back to unsloth==2024.8 because the CPU solver cannot satisfy
newer unsloth's dependencies. install.ps1 already solved this with a
two-step approach; this applies the same fix to install.sh and
install_python_stack.py.
install.sh: add get_torch_index_url() that detects GPU via nvidia-smi
and maps CUDA versions to PyTorch index URLs (matching install.ps1's
Get-TorchIndexUrl). Fresh installs now install torch first via explicit
--index-url, then install unsloth with --upgrade-package to preserve
the pre-installed torch. All 5 --torch-backend=auto removed from
primary paths.
install.ps1: add fallback else-branch when TorchIndexUrl is empty,
using --torch-backend=auto as last resort (matching install.sh).
install_python_stack.py: remove unconditional --torch-backend=auto
from _build_uv_cmd. Torch is pre-installed by install.sh/setup.ps1
by the time this runs. Callers that need it can set UV_TORCH_BACKEND.
Both install.sh and install.ps1 now share the same three-branch logic:
migrated env (upgrade-package only), normal (torch-first + index-url),
and fallback (--torch-backend=auto if URL detection fails).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Use --reinstall-package for migrated envs on both Linux and Windows
For migrated environments (moved from legacy venv location),
--reinstall-package is better than --upgrade-package because it forces
a clean reinstall even if the same version is already installed. This
ensures proper .dist-info and .pyc state in the new venv location.
--upgrade-package remains correct for the fresh install path where
torch is already installed and we just want to add unsloth without
re-resolving torch.
* Address review findings: portability, parity, and stale comments
- Replace grep -oP (GNU Perl regex) with POSIX sed in
get_torch_index_url() so the script works on BSD grep (macOS is
already guarded by the Darwin early-return, but Alpine/BusyBox
would silently get the wrong CUDA tag)
- Add LC_ALL=C before nvidia-smi invocation to prevent locale-dependent
output parsing issues
- Add warning on stderr when nvidia-smi output is unparseable, matching
install.ps1's [WARN] message
- Add explicit unsloth-zoo positional arg to install.ps1 migrated path,
matching install.sh (--reinstall-package alone won't install it if it
was never present in the migrated env)
- Fix stale comment in install_python_stack.py line 392 that still
claimed --torch-backend=auto is added by _build_uv_cmd
- Add sed to test tools directory (function now uses sed instead of grep)
* Add --index-url to migrated env path to prevent CPU torch resolution
The migrated path runs uv pip install with --reinstall-package for
unsloth/unsloth-zoo. While uv should keep existing torch as satisfied,
the resolver could still re-resolve torch as a transitive dependency.
Without --index-url pointing at the correct CUDA wheel index, the
resolver would fall back to plain PyPI and potentially pull CPU-only
torch. Adding --index-url $TORCH_INDEX_URL ensures CUDA wheels are
available if the resolver needs them.
Applied to both install.sh and install.ps1.
* Revert --index-url on migrated env path
The original install.ps1 on main already handles the migrated path
without --index-url and it works correctly. --reinstall-package only
forces reinstall of the named packages while uv keeps existing torch
as satisfied. No need for the extra flag.
* Fix unsloth studio update --local not installing local checkout
studio.py sets STUDIO_LOCAL_REPO when --local is passed, but
install_python_stack.py never read it. The update path always
installed from PyPI regardless of the --local flag.
Add a local_repo branch that first updates deps from base.txt
(with --upgrade-package to preserve torch), then overlays the
local checkout as an editable install with --no-deps.

* fix: prevent UnicodeEncodeError on Windows CP1252 consoles in studio setup
On Windows, `unsloth studio setup` crashes with a UnicodeEncodeError

* Allow Windows setup to complete without NVIDIA GPU
setup.ps1 previously hard-exited if nvidia-smi was not found, blocking
setup entirely on CPU-only or non-NVIDIA machines. The backend already
supports CPU and MLX (Apple Silicon) in chat-only GGUF mode, and the
Linux/Mac setup.sh handles missing GPUs gracefully.
Changes:
- Convert the GPU check from a hard exit to a warning
- Guard CUDA toolkit installation behind $HasNvidiaSmi
- Install CPU-only PyTorch when no GPU is detected
- Build llama.cpp without CUDA flags when no GPU is present
- Update doc comment to reflect CPU support
* Cache frontend build across setup runs
Skip the frontend npm install + build if frontend/dist already exists.
Previously setup.ps1 nuked node_modules and package-lock.json on every
run, and both scripts always rebuilt even when dist/ was already present.
On a git clone editable install, the first setup run still builds the
frontend as before. Subsequent runs skip it, saving several minutes.
To force a rebuild, delete frontend/dist and re-run setup.
* Show pip progress for PyTorch download on Windows
The torch CUDA wheel is ~2.8 GB and the CPU wheel is ~300 MB. With
| Out-Null suppressing all output, the install appeared completely
frozen with no feedback. Remove | Out-Null for the torch install
lines so pip's download progress bar is visible. Add a size hint
so users know the download is expected to take a while.
Also moves the Triton success message inside the GPU branch so it
only prints when Triton was actually installed.
* Guard CUDA env re-sanitization behind GPU check in llama.cpp build
The CUDA_PATH re-sanitization block (lines 1020-1033) references
$CudaToolkitRoot which is only set when $HasNvidiaSmi is true and
the CUDA Toolkit section runs. On CPU-only machines, $CudaToolkitRoot
is null, causing Split-Path to throw:
Split-Path : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null.
Wrap the entire block in `if ($HasNvidiaSmi -and $CudaToolkitRoot)`.
* Rebuild frontend when source files are newer than dist/
Instead of only checking if dist/ exists, compare source file timestamps
against the dist/ directory. If any file in frontend/src/ is newer than
dist/, trigger a rebuild. This handles the case where a developer pulls
new frontend changes and re-runs setup -- stale assets get rebuilt
automatically.
* Fix cmake not found on Windows after winget install
Two issues fixed:
1. After winget installs cmake, Refresh-Environment may not pick up the
new PATH entry (MSI PATH changes sometimes need a new shell). Added a
fallback that probes cmake's default install locations (Program Files,
LocalAppData) and adds the directory to PATH explicitly if found.
2. If cmake is still unavailable when the llama.cpp build starts (e.g.
winget failed silently or PATH was not updated), the build now skips
gracefully with a [SKIP] warning instead of crashing with
"cmake : The term 'cmake' is not recognized".
* Fix frontend rebuild detection and decouple oxc-validator install
Address review feedback:
- Check entire frontend/ directory for changes, not just src/.
The build also depends on package.json, vite.config.ts,
tailwind.config.ts, public/, and other config files. A change
to any of these now triggers a rebuild.
- Move oxc-validator npm install outside the frontend build gate
in setup.sh so it always runs on setup, matching setup.ps1
which already had it outside the gate.
* Show cmake errors on failure and retry CUDA VS integration with elevation
Two fixes for issue #4405 (Windows setup fails at cmake configure):
1. cmake configure: capture output and display it on failure instead of
piping to Out-Null. When the error mentions "No CUDA toolset found",
print a hint about the CUDA VS integration files.
2. CUDA VS integration copy: when the direct Copy-Item fails (needs
admin access to write to Program Files), retry with Start-Process
-Verb RunAs to prompt for elevation. This is the root cause of the
"No CUDA toolset found" cmake failure -- the .targets files that let
MSBuild compile .cu files are missing from the VS BuildCustomizations
directory.
* Address reviewer feedback: cmake PATH persistence, stale cache, torch error check
1. Persist cmake PATH to user registry so Refresh-Environment cannot
drop it later in the same setup run. Previously the process-only
PATH addition at phase 1 could vanish when Refresh-Environment
rebuilt PATH from registry during phase 2/3 installs.
2. Clean stale CMake cache before configure. If a previous run built
with CUDA and the user reruns without a GPU (or vice versa), the
cached GGML_CUDA value would persist. Now the build dir is removed
before configure.
3. Explicitly set -DGGML_CUDA=OFF for CPU-only builds instead of just
omitting CUDA flags. This prevents cmake from auto-detecting a
partial CUDA installation.
4. Fix CUDA cmake flag indentation -- was misaligned from the original
PR, now consistently indented inside the if/else block.
5. Fail hard if pip install torch returns a non-zero exit code instead
of silently continuing with a broken environment.
* Remove extra CUDA cmake flags to align Windows with Linux build
Drop GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS, GGML_CUDA_F16, GGML_CUDA_GRAPHS,
GGML_CUDA_FORCE_CUBLAS, and GGML_CUDA_PEER_MAX_BATCH_SIZE flags.
The Linux build in setup.sh only sets GGML_CUDA=ON and lets llama.cpp
use its defaults for everything else. Keep Windows consistent.
* Address reviewer round 2: GPU probe fallback, Triton check, stale binary rebuild
1. GPU detection: fallback to default nvidia-smi install locations
(Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI, System32) when nvidia-smi
is not on PATH. Prevents silent CPU-only provisioning on machines
that have a GPU but a broken PATH.
2. Triton: check $LASTEXITCODE after pip install and print [WARN]
on failure instead of unconditional [OK].
3. Stale llama-server: check CMakeCache.txt for GGML_CUDA setting
and rebuild if the existing binary does not match the current GPU
mode (e.g. CUDA binary on a now-CPU-only rerun, or vice versa).
* Fix frontend rebuild detection and npm dependency issues
Addresses reviewer feedback on the frontend caching logic:
1. setup.sh: Fix broken find command that caused exit under pipefail.
The piped `find | xargs find -newer` had paths after the expression
which GNU find rejects. Replaced with a simpler `find -maxdepth 1
-type f -newer dist/` that checks ALL top-level files (catches
index.html, bun.lock, etc. that the extension allowlist missed).
2. setup.sh: Guard oxc-validator npm install behind `command -v npm`
check. When the frontend build is skipped (dist/ is cached), Node
bootstrap is also skipped, so npm may not be available.
3. setup.ps1: Replace Get-ChildItem -Include with explicit path
probing for src/ and public/. PowerShell's -Include without a
trailing wildcard silently returns nothing, so src/public changes
were never detected. Also check ALL top-level files instead of
just .json/.ts/.js/.mjs extensions.
* Fix studio setup: venv isolation, centralized .venv_t5, uv targeting
- All platforms (including Colab) now create ~/.unsloth/studio/.venv
with --without-pip fallback for broken ensurepip environments
- Add --python sys.executable to uv pip install in install_python_stack.py
so uv targets the correct venv instead of system Python
- Centralize .venv_t5 bootstrap in transformers_version.py with proper
validation (checks required packages exist, not just non-empty dir)
- Replace ~150 lines of duplicated install code across 3 worker files
with calls to the shared _ensure_venv_t5_exists() helper
- Use uv-if-present with pip fallback; do not install uv at runtime
- Add site.addsitedir() shim in colab.py so notebook cells can import
studio packages from the venv without system-Python double-install
- Update .venv_t5 packages: huggingface_hub 1.3.0->1.7.1, add hf_xet
- Bump transformers pin 4.57.1->4.57.6 in requirements + constraints
- Add Fast-Install helper to setup.ps1 with uv+pip fallback
- Keep Colab-specific completion banner in setup.sh

* Fix nvidia-smi PATH persistence and cmake requirement for CPU-only
1. Store nvidia-smi as an absolute path ($NvidiaSmiExe) on first
detection. All later calls (Get-CudaComputeCapability,
Get-PytorchCudaTag, CUDA toolkit detection) use this absolute
path instead of relying on PATH. This survives Refresh-Environment
which rebuilds PATH from the registry and drops process-only
additions.
2. Make cmake fatal for CPU-only installs. CPU-only machines depend
entirely on llama-server for GGUF chat mode, so reporting "Setup
Complete!" without it is misleading. GPU machines can still skip
the llama-server build since they have other inference paths.
* Fix broken frontend freshness detection in setup scripts
- setup.sh: Replace broken `find | xargs find -newer` pipeline with
single `find ... -newer` call. The old pipeline produced "paths must
precede expression" errors (silently suppressed by 2>/dev/null),
causing top-level config changes to never trigger a rebuild.
- setup.sh: Add `command -v npm` guard to oxc-validator block so it
does not fail when Node was not installed (build-skip path).
- setup.ps1: Replace `Get-ChildItem -Include` (unreliable without
-Recurse on PS 5.1) with explicit directory paths for src/ and
public/ scanning.
- Both: Add *.html to tracked file patterns so index.html (Vite
entry point) changes trigger a rebuild.
- Both: Use -print -quit instead of piping to head -1 for efficiency.
* Fix bugs found during review of PRs #4404, #4400, #4399
- setup.sh: Add || true guard to find command that checks frontend/src
and frontend/public dirs, preventing script abort under set -euo
pipefail when either directory is missing
- colab.py: Use sys.path.insert(0, ...) instead of site.addsitedir()
so Studio venv packages take priority over system copies. Add warning
when venv is missing instead of silently failing.
- transformers_version.py: _venv_t5_is_valid() now checks installed
package versions via .dist-info metadata, not just directory presence.
Prevents false positives from stale or wrong-version packages.
- transformers_version.py: _install_to_venv_t5() now passes --upgrade
so pip replaces existing stale packages in the target directory.
- setup.ps1: CPU-only PyTorch install uses --index-url for cpu wheel
and all install commands use Fast-Install (uv with pip fallback).
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Fix _venv_t5_is_valid dist-info loop exiting after first directory
Remove premature break that caused the loop over .dist-info directories
to exit after the first match even if it had no METADATA file. Now
continues iterating until a valid METADATA is found or all dirs are
exhausted.
* Capture error output on failure instead of discarding with Out-Null
setup.ps1: 6 locations changed from `| Out-Null` to `| Out-String` with
output shown on failure -- PyTorch GPU/CPU install, Triton install,
venv_t5 package loop, cmake llama-server and llama-quantize builds.
transformers_version.py: clean stale .venv_t5 directory before reinstall
when validation detects missing or version-mismatched packages.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Fix ModuleNotFoundError when CLI imports studio.backend.core
The backend uses bare "from utils.*" imports everywhere, relying on
backend/ being on sys.path. Workers and routes add it at startup, but
the CLI imports studio.backend.core as a package -- backend/ was never
added. Add sys.path setup at the top of core/__init__.py so lazy
imports resolve correctly regardless of entry point.
Fixes: unsloth inference unsloth/Qwen3-8B "who are you" crashing with
"No module named 'utils'"
* Fix frontend freshness check to detect all top-level file changes
The extension allowlist (*.json, *.ts, *.js, *.mjs, *.html) missed
files like bun.lock, so lockfile-only dependency changes could skip
the frontend rebuild. Check all top-level files instead.
* Add tiktoken to .venv_t5 for Qwen-family tokenizers
Qwen models use tiktoken-based tokenizers which fail when routed through
the transformers 5.x overlay without tiktoken installed. Add it to the
setup scripts (with deps for Windows) and runtime fallback list.
Integrates PR #4418.
* Fix tiktoken crash in _venv_t5_is_valid and stray brace in setup.ps1
_venv_t5_is_valid() crashed with ValueError on unpinned packages like
"tiktoken" (no ==version). Handle by splitting safely and skipping
version check for unpinned packages (existence check only).
Also remove stray closing brace in setup.ps1 tiktoken install block.

Replace _in_virtualenv() heuristic with a runtime probe. At
bootstrap time, try a dry-run uv install without --system. If
that fails (exit code 2, "No virtual environment found"), retry
with --system to confirm it works. This handles all environments
correctly: venvs, Colab (system Python), local machines, containers.
Three fixes based on review:
1. Make uv truly optional: _bootstrap_uv() now only checks if uv is
already on PATH. It no longer tries to pip install uv. If uv is
not present, pip is used with zero changes to behavior.
2. Add --system flag for Colab: on Colab there is no venv (packages
install into system Python). uv requires --system in this case,
otherwise it errors with "No virtual environment found". Added
_in_virtualenv() check that detects VIRTUAL_ENV, sys.real_prefix,
or sys.base_prefix != sys.prefix.
3. Fix label printed twice on uv fallback: when uv fails and falls
back to pip, the label now says "(pip)" to distinguish from the
initial uv attempt, instead of printing the same label twice.
Tested:
- venv path: no --system flag, uv installs correctly
- no-venv path (Colab sim): --system flag added automatically
- full unsloth studio setup + training run (Llama-3.2-1B, 10 steps)
install_python_stack.py:
- Print uv error output on failure for debuggability
- Refactor pip_install() to use early return after uv success,
removing duplicated pip command path
setup.sh:
- Guard nvidia-smi command substitution with || true so it does
not abort the script under set -euo pipefail when nvidia-smi
fails (e.g., containerized environments, driver quirks)
- Read all GPU compute capabilities and deduplicate, so
mixed-GPU hosts get kernels built for all present architectures
instead of only the first GPU
Replace pip with uv in install_python_stack.py to speed up the Python
dependency installation phase of `unsloth studio setup`.
- Add _bootstrap_uv() that checks for uv on PATH, and if not found,
installs it via pip. Falls back to pip if uv is unavailable.
- Translate pip flags to uv equivalents (--no-cache-dir dropped since
uv caching is fast, --force-reinstall becomes --reinstall).
- Add --torch-backend=auto so uv auto-detects CUDA version for
PyTorch ecosystem packages.
- Per-install fallback: if any uv install step fails, it retries that
step with pip before exiting.
Measured on clean venv setup:
Python packages (pip): 2m 28s
Python packages (uv): 18s
Speedup: ~8x
Total setup time goes from ~4m 35s to ~2m 30s (llama.cpp build is
now the bottleneck at 1m 40s).
Editable installs (-e) work via a .pth file that is only processed at
Python startup. In Colab the kernel is already running when setup.sh
installs the plugin, so the .pth file never gets picked up and
data_designer_unstructured_seed is not importable.
Remove -e so pip copies the package files directly into site-packages,
which the live kernel can find immediately. Local venv installs are
unaffected since the venv is always created fresh before install.
