Motivation

  • Blackwell (sm_120) requires PyTorch built for CUDA 12.8 and Transformer Engine 2.11+, but the repo previously hard-imported TE internals and pinned older TE/CUDA versions which break on TE 2.x and cu128 builds.
  • The goal is to make TE optional, robustly support TE 2.11 APIs (and TE absence) and provide a clear install path for RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell with CUDA 12.8 wheels.

Description

  • Added a TE compatibility module cosmos_predict1/utils/te_compat.py that resolves apply_rotary_pos_emb across TE 2.x/legacy locations, provides a pure-torch RoPE fallback, and exposes safe wrappers for check_set_window_size, InferenceParams, DotProductAttention and a stable split_along_dim helper (no _SplitAlongDim usage).
  • Replaced fragile TE imports across code paths (diffusion/module/attention.py, diffusion/training/module/blocks.py, diffusion/training/utils/peft/lora_attn.py, autoregressive/training/modules/attention.py, etc.) to use the compat layer and removed direct internal TE symbol usage.
  • Made runtime TE optional and added fallbacks: use TE when available and compatible, otherwise use PyTorch's scaled_dot_product_attention (SDPA) with correct qkv_format handling so inference still runs with numerically reasonable results.
  • Updated environment and install guidance for Blackwell: bumped CUDA pins to 12.8 in cosmos-predict1.yaml, changed requirements.txt to recommend torch==2.8.0/torchvision==0.23.0, added transformer-engine==2.11.0, transformer-engine-torch==2.11.0 and nvidia-cudnn-cu12>=9.3, added scripts/install_blackwell_wsl.sh and scripts/doctor.py, and updated README.md / INSTALL.md with a new "Blackwell (sm_120) / CUDA 12.8" section and build/runtime hints (e.g. TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST, NVTE_CUDA_ARCHS, and DO NOT set CUDA_HOME=$CONDA_PREFIX for runtime).
  • Guarded TE-specific utility classes (e.g. TELoRALinearLayer) so they raise/import only when TE is actually required, and added small compatibility shims for missing TE symbols to avoid import-time crashes.

Testing

  • Verified apply_rotary_pos_emb fallback works with python -c "from cosmos_predict1.utils.te_compat import apply_rotary_pos_emb; print('OK')" which printed OK (success).
  • Verified module imports succeed in a non-GPU/TE container: import cosmos_predict1.diffusion.module.attention, import cosmos_predict1.diffusion.training.utils.peft.lora_attn, and import cosmos_predict1.autoregressive.training.modules.attention all imported without error (success).
  • Ran the environment checker python scripts/doctor.py which printed torch/CUDA details and correctly reported TE import failure in this CI/container (no GPU/TE installed) and that the attention backend will use the torch_sdpa_fallback (expected behavior in absence of TE).
  • Checked CUDA/PyTorch detection with python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.get_arch_list())" which returned [] in this environment (no GPU available) but the script validates that the check runs (behavior is environment-dependent).
