Overview

Added github as a sample workflow.

Description

Similar paths as flux2:

  1. Added python model export and verify scripts
  2. Added pixeldit cli to run with cpu sample and trt backend

Changes

Tokenizer

PixelDiT's text encoder is Gemma, which uses SentencePieceBpe. So I extended the current tokenizer support.

PixelDiT model structure

I didn't add the repo as a submodule, but rather copied some of the files that I need. The model architecture was adjusted to account for unsupported operations in the model. This includes RoPE via torch.polar / view_as_complex, and F.unfold / F.fold patchify

Pipeline structure

PixelDiT uses negative prompting. For now I have set the batch size of text encoder to be 1, and batch size of DiT to be 2, and option to support batchsize = 1 DiT can be added later.

Next Steps

  1. Add dynamic shape support like sam2

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added PixelDiT text-to-image generation, with CPU and CUDA processing options, configurable prompts, image dimensions, sampling settings, seeds, and output paths.
    • Added workflows to export PixelDiT models to ONNX, optionally compile them for TensorRT RTX, and verify model outputs.
    • Expanded tokenizer support for SentencePiece-style BPE, including added tokens, byte fallback, and configured special tokens.
  • Documentation

    • Added PixelDiT setup, export, verification, build, and usage guidance.
  • Tests

    • Added tokenizer tests and CPU/CUDA PixelDiT processing tests.

The PR adds SentencePiece BPE support to the JSON tokenizer and introduces PixelDiT model export, ONNX verification, and TensorRT RTX inference. The native pipeline supports CPU or CUDA sampling, and a CLI generates and saves images.

Changes: Tokenizer and PixelDiT support

Layer / File(s) Summary
SentencePiece BPE encoding and tests
common/io/tokenizer.h, common/io/tokenizer.cpp, tests/tokenizer/*, CMakeLists.txt
The JSON tokenizer collects normalizer, added-token, byte-fallback, and template settings for SentencePiece BPE encoding. Tests cover SentencePiece-style, Llama-style, and byte-level BPE cases, including unsupported normalizers.
PixelDiT model, weights, and sampling
image_gen/pixeldit/model_export/pixeldit/*
The Python package adds the PixelDiT model and weight loaders, prompt encoding, seeded noise generation, flow DPM-Solver++ sampling, and image conversion.
ONNX export and verification
image_gen/pixeldit/model_export/export_pixeldit.py, image_gen/pixeldit/model_export/verify_pixeldit.py
The exporter creates static-shape ONNX models and pipeline configuration, with optional TensorRT RTX compilation. The verifier checks graph properties, model outputs, and generated images.
Native configuration and solver support
image_gen/pixeldit/helpers/pixeldit.h, image_gen/pixeldit/pixeldit_config.cpp, image_gen/pixeldit/cuda_kernels.*, image_gen/pixeldit/CMakeLists.txt
Native helpers add text-input preparation, noise initialization, and flow solver calculations. CUDA kernels implement CFG and DPM updates, and CMake defines the PixelDiT libraries and executable.
TensorRT RTX sampling pipeline
image_gen/pixeldit/pixeldit_trt_backend.cpp
The backend runs the text encoder and DiT through TensorRT RTX. It performs CFG and solver updates on the CPU or CUDA device and returns generated images.
CLI, build integration, and usage documentation
image_gen/pixeldit/pixeldit_cli.h, image_gen/pixeldit/pixeldit_cli.cpp, CMakeLists.txt, image_gen/pixeldit/README.md, .gitignore
The CLI parses generation settings and saves numbered images. CMake registers the PixelDiT and tokenizer targets and tests. The README documents export, verification, and runtime commands; .gitignore excludes model and PNG outputs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5ded8

The PixelDiT sample and SentencePiece tokenizer support look mergeable. Two small follow-ups are worth fixing: narrow the new ignore rules so they cannot hide future PNG or model files elsewhere in the repository, and give clearer load-time errors for malformed tokenizer files.

through the fallback path for an unsupported normalizer.

Please use Ort's CopyTensor method. Also pinned does not necessarily mean unified memory. Our TensorBuffer class in ort_session.cpp has a copy method aswell that also support,s event signaling with pure ORT API's. Or do you need partial copies solely in CUDA processing code ?

Yeah I need partial copies, I have switched to view + ort's copy tensor.

🟡 Minor · Validate the unknown token and template token lookups when the tokenizer… · tokenizer.cpp:477-485

common/io/tokenizer.cpp:477-485
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the unknown token and template token lookups when the tokenizer loads.

unk_id_ becomes -1 if unk_token is absent or not in the vocab. byte_fallback is true in this mode, so the unknown token is used only if a byte token such as <0xXX> is missing. In that case ApplySentencePieceBpe pushes an empty string. The encoder then throws "missing BPE token: " with an empty name, which hides the real cause. The template lookups use token_to_id_.at(token). If a template references a token that is missing from the vocab, they throw a bare std::out_of_range with no tokenizer context. Check both cases at load time and throw a descriptive std::runtime_error.
