Use SDPA for model attention - faster fallback than eager mode
USER INSIGHT: SDPA is better than eager mode and widely supported without compiler IMPROVEMENT: Added attn_implementation="sdpa" to pipeline loading WHAT THIS DOES: 1. Model's attention layers use SDPA (Scaled Dot Product Attention) - GPU-accelerated Flash Attention / Memory-Efficient Attention - NO C++ compiler required (unlike torch.compile) - Much faster than eager mode for attention operations - Widely supported on modern GPUs (PyTorch 2.0+) 2. SDNQ's weight dequantization still uses torch.compile when available - With compiler: Uses compiled dequantization (fastest) - Without compiler: Falls back to eager dequantization (suppress_errors handles this) WHY THIS IS BETTER: Before: Model attention used eager mode when compiler missing (slow) After: Model attention uses SDPA regardless of compiler (fast) PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPILER: - Attention: Fast (SDPA) - Dequantization: Slower (eager fallback) - Net result: Much better than full eager mode TWO SEPARATE OPTIMIZATIONS: 1. SDPA = Optimized attention kernels (always available, no compiler needed) 2. torch.compile = JIT compilation for dequantization (needs compiler) Updated messaging to clarify this distinction: ✓ Model attention: SDPA (GPU-accelerated, no compiler needed) ✓ Weight dequantization: Eager mode (GPU, slightly slower) Thanks to user for catching this optimization opportunity!
