From cf74b587ec1308ef1d322d27e11b1c8ba1d2f07b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ethanfel Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add SageAttention as preferred attention backend when available MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Attention fallback chain: SageAttention (2-5x faster, INT8 quantized) > xformers > PyTorch native SDPA. SageAttention is optional — install with `pip install sageattention` for a speed boost.
