FV's _img2tokens was packing video latent patches as spatial-major
'(pT pH pW C)' (channels innermost), but the DiT's video_embedder
Linear weight was trained on upstream's channel-major '(C pT pH pW)'
layout. Upstream's MagiDataProxy uses UnfoldNd, which is implemented
via a grouped-channel conv whose output reshape is channel-major
(in_channels * kernel_size_numel ordering, channels slowest). The
spatial-major layout silently permuted the in-features of every
video token, scrambling the entire video feature representation
and producing pure colorful-blob noise from the basic example.
The pipeline parity test could not catch this because it imports
FV's build_packed_inputs for the upstream side too, so both sides
consumed equally-permuted tokens and agreed on garbage at production
scale (T=26 frames, ~3120 video tokens), while reporting healthy
~0.5%/step drift on the tiny synthetic (2,6,6) latent. Fix is a
one-character change in the einops rearrange pattern.
unpack_tokens stays spatial-major because the DiT's final_linear_video
is trained to emit (pT pH pW C), matching upstream's
SingleData.depack_token_sequence at data_proxy.py:220-228.
Validated end-to-end: examples/inference/basic/basic_magi_human.py
now produces coherent video at the standard 480x256 / 32-step / seed
42 prompt -- woman on a park bench reading a book under green trees,
matching prompt. Output mp4 size dropped from ~932KB (incompressible
noise) to ~222KB (coherent compressible video).
Closes magi-human OQ-6.
Notes for follow-up:
- OQ-11 (NEW): test_magi_human_pipeline_parity.py:222 should drive
the upstream side through real MagiDataProxy.process_input so the
parity test catches packing-layout regressions natively.
Match the canonical FastVideo dtype pattern (per WanVideo DiT). Remove
all 7 hardcoded `.to(torch.bfloat16)` casts that were verbatim copies of
upstream daVinci-MagiHuman/inference/model/dit/dit_module.py. Replace
with `orig_dtype = self.linear_qkv.weight.dtype` (or equivalent
loader-owned dtype) + `.to(orig_dtype)` pattern, mirroring
fastvideo/models/dits/wanvideo.py:325-392.
Refactored sites: attention pre_norm output, q/k/v post-RoPE, attention
output, MLP pre_norm, MLP activation output, top-level block-input cast.
Model dtype is now loader-owned via pipeline_config.dit_precision, not
hardcoded. Production bf16 behavior is bit-identical (loader sets
default_dtype=bf16, all params/inputs naturally bf16, orig_dtype=bf16,
outputs preserved as bf16). fp32 parity now works end-to-end on the FV
side; remaining drift in fp32 parity tests is upstream's still-hardcoded
bf16 casts (tracked as OQ-9 in tests/local_tests/magi-human.md).
Add docs/contributing/activation_trace.md: a 210-line contributor guide
covering the env-gated activation trace infrastructure (Extension 0),
its five configuration env vars, the trace_step() context manager, and
the JSONL output format.
The doc also sketches Extensions 1-3 (FX graph capture, AST-level
instrumentation, dispatch-table interception) as future work, giving
contributors a clear design ladder to climb without requiring them to
implement everything at once.
Update tests/local_tests/magi-human.md with the Wave 9 investigation
entry: records the E2E smoke result (28,864 JSONL records, 451 hooked
modules), the zero-overhead-when-off confirmation, and the new
fastvideo/tests/hooks/test_activation_trace.py test row in the Phase 11
status table. Last-verified date bumped to 2026-05-01 (Wave 9).
Wire the new trace_step(step_idx) context manager around each DiT
forward call in the magi-human denoising stage so that per-step
activation dumps are correctly indexed.
The context manager sets a thread-local step index that hook callbacks
read when deciding whether to emit a record (controlled by
FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS). Without this wiring, all records would carry
step_idx=None and step-filtered traces would be empty.
The change is a no-op when FASTVIDEO_TRACE_ACTIVATIONS is unset: the
context manager is a lightweight nullcontext in that path.
Add an env-gated activation trace mode that registers PyTorch forward
hooks on selected modules, computes per-tensor stats (abs_mean, sum,
min, max, mean, std, shape, dtype), and writes JSONL records to a
configurable sink path.
Designed for parity-debug across model ports: enable trace on both
FastVideo's path and the upstream reference, then `diff` the two JSONL
files to find the first divergent layer. Inspired by SGLang's
--debug-tensor-dump-output-folder pattern and TransformerEngine's
DumpTensors selective-dump infra.
Zero-overhead-when-off guarantee: the master toggle
FASTVIDEO_TRACE_ACTIVATIONS is checked ONCE at pipeline startup. When
unset/false, attach_activation_trace() returns None and no hooks are
ever registered. The production forward path is untouched.
Configuration via 5 env vars (FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS regex filter,
FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS, FASTVIDEO_TRACE_OUTPUT path with <pid> templating,
FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS step-index filter). Step indexing via the
trace_step(step_idx) context manager wires step into thread-local for
hook callbacks.
Six unit tests cover off/on/filter/stats/step-filter/tuple-flattening
/cleanup paths. End-to-end smoke against magi-human's basic example
generated 28,864 JSONL records on 451 hooked modules; trace OFF does
not create the output file.
test_magi_human_pipeline_parity.py previously used random txt_feat and
neg_txt_feat tensors (identical on both FV and upstream sides). This
meant the parity test never exercised the actual text-encoding path,
and production-facing preset values (the real positive/negative prompt
strings) were never validated end-to-end.
Lines 59-153 now encode the real preset prompts via T5-Gemma on both
sides before the denoising loop. Lines 388-395 wire the encoded
embeddings into the FV pipeline call. This validates that:
- The preset prompt strings flow through T5-Gemma correctly.
- The encoded embeddings are numerically consistent between FV and
upstream for the same input text.
- Production-facing preset values are exercised in the parity path.
Note: Wave 8 production fixes (tokenizer pre-padding, resolution
defaults) do NOT change parity numbers because both sides use the same
encoder/decoder. The residual drift is the inherent bf16+CFG
amplification floor (Wave 8 audit conclusion).
MagiHumanAudioDecodingStage.forward() previously returned silently
(no audio output) when batch.audio_latents was None or missing. In a
joint audio-video pipeline this is a real bug: the caller expects audio
output and gets nothing, with no indication of why.
audio_decoding.py:90-96 now raises ValueError with a descriptive
message when audio_latents is absent. This converts a silent wrong
result into a loud, actionable error.
This is Wave 8 fix#10. Classified AMBIGUOUS→HARMFUL: silent return
is acceptable for optional audio in a T2V-only pipeline, but MagiHuman
is a joint AV model where missing audio_latents indicates a real
upstream failure (e.g. denoising stage dropped the audio modality).
FV's magi_human_base and magi_human_distill presets used width=448,
height=256 as defaults. Upstream daVinci-MagiHuman uses width=480,
height=272 (snapped to 256 by the latent-preparation stage). Production
users running FV with default settings got a different aspect ratio
(448/256=1.75) than upstream (480/256=1.875), causing visual composition
differences.
Fix: presets.py:50-84 now uses width=480 for both base and distill
presets. latent_preparation.py:130-133 fallback also updated to 480.
This is Wave 8 fix#3. Upstream reference: daVinci-MagiHuman/
video_generate.py default resolution args. Fixes OQ-6 production root
cause: aspect ratio mismatch between FV default and upstream default.
The T5GemmaEncoderModel._encode() call was passing truncation=True,
padding='max_length', max_length=640 to the HF tokenizer, causing the
tokenizer to pad every sequence to 640 tokens BEFORE encoding. This
means pad-token hidden states were fed into the DiT as real content,
and magi_original_text_lens reported the pre-padded length (640) rather
than the actual token count.
Upstream (daVinci-MagiHuman/models/text_encoder.py) does NOT pre-pad:
it tokenizes without padding/truncation and lets the downstream
MagiHumanLatentPreparationStage._pad_or_trim_dim1 handle length
alignment. FV now matches this: t5gemma.py:57-64 no longer passes
truncation/padding/max_length to the tokenizer call.
This is Wave 8 fix#1. Fixes OQ-6 production root cause: pad-token
hidden states were polluting DiT cross-attention input for every
inference call.
Document Wave 7 CFG + negative-prompt investigation findings in the
numerical-alignment investigation section. Key results: CFG math is
identical on both sides; audio VAE is bit-exact vs official (new parity
test confirms); root cause of production audio drift was the incomplete
negative prompt in FV's preset (missing audio-quality + speech-delivery
blocks from upstream video_generate.py:222-224).
Update Phase 11 status table with the new SA-official parity test row
(PASS, diff_max=0, diff_mean=0). Add test_magi_human_sa_audio_official_parity.py
to the running-tests command block and the What-each-test-covers section.
Mark OQ-6 as PARTIALLY-RESOLVED: production neg-prompt fix shipped in
this wave; parity-test 4-step compounding is a separate inherent
FlowUniPC scheduler phenomenon, not a code bug. Update Last-verified
to 2026-05-01 (Wave 7).
Add parity test comparing FastVideo's SAAudioVAEModel against the official
daVinci-MagiHuman SAAudioFeatureExtractor.decode() path. The sibling
test_magi_human_sa_audio_parity.py validates against Diffusers
AutoencoderOobleck; this test validates against the upstream repo's custom
integration layer, which rebuilds AudioAutoencoder from model.pretransform.config
and filters pretransform.model.* weights.
Test passes at machine-eps (diff_max=0, diff_mean=0) in fp32, confirming
FV's SAAudioVAEModel is bit-identical to the official decode path. This
rules out the audio VAE as a contributor to OQ-6 (pipeline compounding).
Requires the daVinci-MagiHuman upstream clone and the gated
stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0 repo. Skips cleanly when either is absent.
Complete the magi-human negative prompt to match upstream's three-block
concatenation (video + audio-quality + speech-delivery negatives). FV's
preset previously included only the video-side block, leaving audio CFG
to amplify the missing-block delta 5x via `v = uncond + 5 * (cond - uncond)`.
This explains the audio-side amplification observed in the pipeline-trace
investigation (step 1 v_cond_audio: 4.6% drift; v_cfg_audio: 13.8%).
Upstream reference: daVinci-MagiHuman/inference/pipeline/video_generate.py
:222-224.
Also harden CFG path: missing negative embeds previously silently fell
back to zeros, which is a hidden CFG amplifier. Now raises ValueError
explicitly when CFG=2 is set without negative embeds. Tracks OQ-6
production fix in tests/local_tests/magi-human.md.
Document Wave 1-5 numerical-alignment investigation results in
tests/local_tests/magi-human.md (417 lines total):
- OQ-6: DiT bf16 noise-floor drift (diff_max=0.057 at atol=0.03);
pipeline compounding at 4 steps (18.85x ratio vs 1-step baseline);
root cause under investigation via _debug_magi_human_block_parity.py
- OQ-7: Wan VAE fp32 op-order drift (z*std+mean vs z/(1/std)+mean);
shared Wan-family bug, deferred pending upstream fix
Also records Wave 1-5 methodology: loader fix, per-side log emission,
tolerance tightening, scheduler split, and bisect confirmation that
the compounding bug predates Wave 1.
Surface known bf16 numerical alignment bugs by tightening parity bounds:
- DiT parity atol=0.1 -> atol=0.03 (test FAILs at observed diff_max=0.057;
bf16-noise-floor; tracked as OQ-6 root-cause investigation)
- Pipeline parity num_inference_steps=1 -> 4 (test FAILs at video
diff_max=15.10, diff_mean=1.30 = 18.85x compounding ratio vs 1-step
baseline 0.069; pre-existing compounding bug in original magi port,
NOT introduced by Wave 1 -- bisect confirmed; tracked as OQ-6)
- Wan VAE parity atol=5e-2 -> atol=1e-3 (Wan VAE shared fp32 op-order
drift, FV `z * std + mean` vs upstream `z / (1/std) + mean`; affects
all Wan-family pipelines, deferred per OQ-7)
Also split _build_schedulers into _build_fastvideo_schedulers (double-shift,
matching MagiHumanDenoisingStage production) and _build_upstream_schedulers
(single-shift, matching MagiEvaluator.eval_with_text) to faithfully mirror
each side's production scheduler init pattern.
These tests SHIP IN A FAILING STATE intentionally as a forcing function
for follow-up investigation. See OQ-6 + OQ-7 in magi-human.md.
Add _debug_magi_human_block_parity.py, a standalone script that runs
forward hooks on both the upstream DiTModel and FastVideo MagiHumanDiT,
then writes per-side layer activation logs to:
/tmp/opencode/magi_dit_up_layers.log
/tmp/opencode/magi_dit_fv_layers.log
The logs record (name, shape, abs_mean, sum, min, max) for every hooked
activation, sorted by layer order. This enables side-by-side diff via
`diff /tmp/opencode/magi_dit_up_layers.log /tmp/opencode/magi_dit_fv_layers.log`
to pinpoint the first block where numerical divergence appears — a key
diagnostic step for OQ-6 root-cause investigation.
Replace hf_hub_download (index-only canary) with snapshot_download using
allow_patterns=["base/*.safetensors", "base/model.safetensors.index.json"].
The old approach returned the parent of the index file, which could be a
symlink-resolved HF cache path that lacked the actual shard blobs. The new
approach verifies that at least one .safetensors shard is present before
returning the candidate directory, preventing false-positive skip decisions.
Applies to test_magi_human_parity.py, test_magi_human_pipeline_parity.py,
and the new _debug_magi_human_weight_diff.py debug script (which uses the
same loader pattern for weight-diff analysis).
Drop the magi-introduced 'encoder-style' Stable Audio VAE wrapper now
that main has merged a first-class Oobleck VAE port plus a shared
SAAudioVAEModel pipeline-glue lazy-loader (#1260). MagiHuman now
reuses that infrastructure instead of carrying duplicates:
- audio VAE config: fastvideo.configs.models.vaes.OobleckVAEConfig
- audio VAE wrapper: fastvideo.models.vaes.sa_audio.SAAudioVAEModel
Removes:
- fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/sa_audio.py (SAAudioVAEConfig)
- fastvideo/models/encoders/sa_audio.py (SAAudioVAEModel dup)
Updates:
- magi-human pipeline + config to construct OobleckVAEConfig and set
pretrained_path instead of arch_config.sa_audio_model_path.
- encoders/__init__.py drops the SAAudioVAEConfig export.
- parity test moves from tests/local_tests/encoders/ to .../vaes/
(matches main's classification) and switches to the shared wrapper;
explicit pretrained_dtype='float32' override keeps the fp32 ref
parity check intact (default is fp16 to match official
stable_audio_tools).
audio_decoding.py docstring still mentions 'sa_audio_vae_model' — main's
wrapper exposes that name as a back-compat alias for oobleck_vae, so
the existing comment is still accurate.
- Drop misleading "T2V" framing — base MagiHuman is a joint audio-visual
generator. Rename MagiHumanT2VConfig→MagiHumanBaseConfig,
MagiHumanDistillT2VConfig→MagiHumanDistillConfig, presets
magi_human_base_t2v→magi_human_base, magi_human_distill_t2v→
magi_human_distill. Update comments / docstrings / example output
filename. Keep workload_type="t2v" string (framework enum has no
T2AV variant yet — same placeholder Stable Audio uses for T2A).
- Pipeline parity test: tighten atol/rtol from 0.5/0.5 to 0.35/0.05.
atol absorbs the observed worst-element drift (~0.31 on signal abs_mean
~2.4); the tight rtol still flags gross structural bugs.
- Wan VAE parity: import FastVideo's AutoencoderKLWan from
fastvideo.models.vaes.wanvae instead of diffusers. The test now
actually validates the class MagiHumanBaseConfig.vae_config resolves
to in production.
- Pipeline parity scheduler init: split per-side so upstream mirrors
MagiEvaluator's single-shift pattern (fresh FlowUniPCMultistepScheduler
+ shift only in set_timesteps) and FastVideo mirrors
MagiHumanDenoisingStage's double-shift pattern (constructor + set_timesteps
both with shift). Surfaces a real production divergence between
FastVideo's magi denoise loop and the official one for N>1 steps.
Ports GAIR-NLP/daVinci-MagiHuman's 15B-param joint-AV DiT into FastVideo:
text + video + audio joint denoise in one flat token stream, 32-step
FlowUniPC w/ CFG=2, Wan 2.2 TI2V-5B video VAE, Stable Audio Open 1.0
audio VAE (first-class port at fastvideo/models/vaes/oobleck.py, no
runtime diffusers import), T5-Gemma 9B UL2 text encoder, auto-muxed
mp4 with h264 video + aac stereo audio.
Parity tests all pass on converted weights: DiT (diff_median=2.6e-3),
text encoder (exact), video VAE (8e-4), audio VAE (exact), pipeline
latent (5e-2).
