Text Generation Webui – v3.17
🔥 Text Generation WebUI v3.17 just dropped — and it’s a beast!
💥 Security upgrade: `torch.load()` now defaults to `weights_only=True` — no more sketchy pickle loads in Training_PRO. Safe mode = activated.
🧩 Hugging Face fix: Pinning `huggingface-hub==0.36.0` to squash those pesky venv install bugs. No more “why won’t this install?!” moments.
📊 Training cleanup: `evaluation_strategy` → `eval_strategy` (thanks, @inyourface34456 — clean code wins again!).
🚀 Backend power-ups:
- 🖼️ Qwen3-VL support landed in llama.cpp — multimodal models now run natively. Text + images? Yes, please.
- 🚀 `exllamav3` updated to v0.0.12 — faster, smoother, less stuttering. Your GPU will thank you.
📦 PORTABLE BUILDS ARE LIVE!
No install. No fuss. Just download, unzip, run:
- 🖥️ NVIDIA: `cuda12.4`
- 🖥️ AMD/Intel: `vulkan`
- 💻 CPU-only: `cpu`
- 🍎 Apple Silicon: `macos-arm64`
- 🍏 Intel Mac: `macos-x86_64`
🔧 Upgrading?
Drop your old `user_data/` folder into the new zip — all models, settings, and custom themes preserved.
Go run Qwen3-VL on your old laptop. Your CPU won’t know what hit it. 🤖💥
