feat: support Sol-H3-VAE decoding for MiniMax-H3 - #2317
Allow MiniMax-H3 users to select Sol-H3-VAE with --vae. The ComfyUI checkpoints also supply the original encoder for reference images and videos. The standalone Sol-H3-VAE weights support decode-only workflows such as text-to-video.
Sol decodes the clip as a whole using its native shifted attention windows. The decoder reuses attention projections across neighboring windows and projects, trims, and writes pixels one temporal block at a time. The documentation covers memory use and when to use the original tiled decoder.
Built the Windows CUDA CLI and Windows shared CPU CLI. A small decoder-only fixture also decoded on CPU and CUDA.
Generated video latents with the documented Ref2VA example using both Q4_K_M GGUFs and --params-backend te=disk to fit 32 GB of system RAM. Replayed the same latents with each decoder on an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU at 864 × 480 and 56 frames. Checked six frames spanning the Sol output.
Times are the mean of two decode-only runs after one initial decode. VRAM is the observed peak for the whole GPU.

Sol INT8 decoded about 2.29× as fast as the original INT8 VAE, with 2.36 GiB higher peak GPU VRAM.
Compared Sol against NVIDIA's PyTorch decoder with the same INT8 ConvRot weights and fixed synthetic latents. The decoded RGB frames matched at 49.18 dB PSNR.
A separate decode-only test with fixed synthetic latents at 1344 × 768 and 124 frames completed twice on the same 12 GiB GPU. Sol INT8 averaged 21.77 s for the first decode in each process, with 11.39 GiB peak GPU VRAM.
The VAE now detects Sol-H3-VAE checkpoints and decodes them with block-based attention, shifted rotary embeddings, and block-wise output projection. Sol decoding supports optional spatial and temporal tiling with validation. The documentation describes Sol and original MiniMax-H3 tiling behavior.

Summary
Checkpoint detection and decoder configuration src/model/vae/minimax_h3_vae.hpp
The VAE identifies Sol decoder weights, selects Sol block names, and records the decoder type and output frame calculation.
Attention planning and decoder execution src/model/vae/minimax_h3_sol_attention.hpp, src/model/vae/minimax_h3_vae.hpp
The attention plan builds block and window indices. The decoder uses planned attention, shifted rotary embeddings, chunked feed-forward updates, and block-wise output projection.
Decode tiling and documentation src/model/vae/vae_tiling.hpp, src/model/vae/minimax_h3_vae.hpp, docs/minimax_h3.md, docs/performance.md
Blended tiling supports frame-count and frame-offset functions. Sol decoding validates temporal and circular spatial tiling settings. The documentation describes Sol and original MiniMax-H3 defaults and options.

leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp#2268 — The issue reports slow MiniMax-H3 VAE decoding; this PR adds Sol-H3-VAE as an alternative decoder, but the supplied context does not establish performance results for AMD Vulkan.

leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp#2272 — Both PRs modify MiniMax-H3 VAE configuration and weight detection to select decoder behavior.
The decode-only workflow with the standalone Sol-H3-VAE checkpoint, which the PR advertises, fails before generation. ComfyUI checkpoints that include the encoder should work, so fix the standalone path or narrow the documented scope before merging.

Explanation
#2264 requests faster decoding, lower VRAM use, and quality much better than taeh3. The PR adds Sol-H3-VAE detection and decoding, including decode-only workflows, and reports faster decoding than the original INT8 decoder (2.98 s versus 6.80 s). However, the reported Sol peak is 6.70 GiB, above both the original INT8 peak of 4.34 GiB and the original FP16 peak of 6.53 GiB. The 49.18 dB comparison uses NVIDIA's decoder with the same Sol weights; it does not establish quality relative to taeh3. The reported pixel-order and tiling fixes do not resolve these gaps.
Resolution
Meet the lower-VRAM objective against a comparable original-decoder baseline. Provide a comparable quality result against taeh3 or clarify that quality target in #2264.

Don’t hardcode tiling off for Sol solely because it may change the output. Keep whole-clip decoding as the default, allow users to explicitly enable tiling, and document the potential quality impact. Update the Sol decode path to actually honor those parameters as well.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Done. Whole-clip decoding is still the default; spatial and temporal tiling now work when enabled (temporal tiles must align to Sol's 5-frame blocks). I had to generalize process_vae_temporal_tiles_blended a bit for Sol's frame mapping, other VAEs behave the same.

Remove this decoder-only naming special case and keep support scoped to the standard VAE checkpoints. We already load only the necessary weights, so supporting another checkpoint layout adds unnecessary hardcoded mappings. Update the documentation to remove the decoder-only support claim as well.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The ggml_set_rows chain keeps all blocks’ RGB intermediates alive before writing them. New pixel data is src[0] and the previous write is src[2], so the default graph traversal produces this order:
At 1344×768 and 124 frames, those intermediates total about 1.43 GiB, alongside the final output buffer. Fix the graph order so each block is written before the next block’s pixels are computed, allowing its intermediates to be released.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed, each block is now written before the next one is built. At 1344×768/124 frames this cuts the final segment's workspace by ~1.4 GiB, though the overall peak is still set by the decoder blocks.

Remove the to_pixels wrapper and call DiT::unpatchify_3d() directly. It only saves repeated arguments at two call sites, while the generic name obscures the actual tensor operation.

Rename finalize to denormalize_and_clamp. It reverses the pixel normalization and clamps the result to [0, 1]; the current name gives no indication of what it actually does.

Normalize standalone Sol decoder names before detection
With the upstream file passed through --vae, blocks.0.scale1 becomes first_stage_model.blocks.0.scale1. Sol detection therefore selects the original decoder, whose parameter names do not match the standalone weights. Without another matching decoder source, metadata validation fails.
Normalize the standalone decoder keys under first_stage_model.decoder before detection and registration. Keep post_quant_conv at its current level and preserve the existing ComfyUI layout.

Summary
Allow MiniMax-H3 users to select Sol-H3-VAE with
--vae. The ComfyUI checkpoints also supply the original encoder for reference images and videos. The standalone Sol-H3-VAE weights support decode-only workflows such as text-to-video.Sol decodes the clip as a whole using its native shifted attention windows. The decoder reuses attention projections across neighboring windows and projects, trims, and writes pixels one temporal block at a time. The documentation covers memory use and when to use the original tiled decoder.
Related Issue / Discussion
Closes #2264.
Additional Information
Built the Windows CUDA CLI and Windows shared CPU CLI. A small decoder-only fixture also decoded on CPU and CUDA.
Generated video latents with the documented Ref2VA example using both Q4_K_M GGUFs and
--params-backend te=diskto fit 32 GB of system RAM. Replayed the same latents with each decoder on an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU at 864 × 480 and 56 frames. Checked six frames spanning the Sol output.Times are the mean of two decode-only runs after one initial decode. VRAM is the observed peak for the whole GPU.
Sol INT8 decoded about 2.29× as fast as the original INT8 VAE, with 2.36 GiB higher peak GPU VRAM.
Compared Sol against NVIDIA's PyTorch decoder with the same INT8 ConvRot weights and fixed synthetic latents. The decoded RGB frames matched at 49.18 dB PSNR.
A separate decode-only test with fixed synthetic latents at 1344 × 768 and 124 frames completed twice on the same 12 GiB GPU. Sol INT8 averaged 21.77 s for the first decode in each process, with 11.39 GiB peak GPU VRAM.
