# Features
Use this section to choose and configure vLLM-Omni runtime and optimization
features. The navigation follows the active
[Feature Design](../design/index.md#feature-design-documents) taxonomy whenever
an implementation contract has a user-facing workflow.
!!! note "User guides, design documents, and recipes"
User guides explain how to enable a feature and where it is supported.
Design documents define internal contracts and do not, by themselves,
imply general or production support. For model-specific launch flags and
hardware requirements, use the linked examples and validated recipes from
[Supported Models](../models/supported_models.md).
## Runtime and Stage Execution
| Goal | User guide | Related design contract |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Choose serial, batched, step-wise, or streaming diffusion execution | [Execution Modes and Streaming](../user_guide/diffusion/execution_modes.md) | [Diffusion Continuous Batching](../design/feature/diffusion_continuous_batching.md), [Async Diffusion Output](../design/feature/async_diffusion_output.md) |
| Reclaim stage memory without restarting the server | [Sleep Mode](sleep_mode.md) | Runtime lifecycle behavior is documented in the user guide |
Some runtime designs are deliberately not promoted as standalone User Guide
features yet:
- [Disaggregated Inference](../design/feature/disaggregated_inference.md) and
[OmniConnector implementations](../design/index.md#communication) describe
topology and transport contracts. Practical deployment configuration remains
under [Pipeline and deploy configurations](../configuration/stage_configs.md).
- [Async Chunk](../design/feature/async_chunk.md) and
[Async Omni Output Materialization](../design/feature/omni_async_output_materialization.md)
are model- and pipeline-dependent. Use the selected model's deploy
configuration and recipe for the supported settings.
- [Automatic Prefix Caching](../design/feature/prefix_caching.md) remains a
design-level contract until its user-facing configuration and compatibility
surface is consolidated.
## Quantization
Quantization is a cross-model feature rather than a diffusion-only
optimization. The unified [`quantization_config` guide](../user_guide/quantization/overview.md)
covers diffusion-only models, multi-stage omni/TTS models, and multi-stage
diffusion models. Its [design contract](../design/feature/quantization.md)
defines the shared configuration and backend extension points.
## Diffusion Acceleration
| Goal | User guide | Related design contract |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Compare acceleration methods and supported combinations | [Overview](../user_guide/diffusion_features.md), [Feature Compatibility](../user_guide/feature_compatibility.md) | [Diffusion acceleration designs](../design/index.md#diffusion-acceleration) |
| Move weights between host and device memory | [CPU Offloading](../user_guide/diffusion/cpu_offload.md) | [Distributed Layerwise Offload](../design/feature/distributed_layerwise_offload.md) |
| Reuse denoising computation | [Cache Acceleration](../user_guide/diffusion/cache_acceleration/cache_dit.md) | [Cache-DiT](../design/feature/cache_dit.md), [TeaCache](../design/feature/teacache.md) |
| Distribute diffusion work across devices | [Parallelism](../user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/overview.md) | [Parallelism designs](../design/index.md#parallelism) |
| Select dense, sparse, or quantized attention paths | [Attention Backends](../user_guide/diffusion/attention_backends.md) | [Skip-Softmax](../design/feature/skip_softmax.md) |
| Compile repeated diffusion regions | [Regional Compilation](../user_guide/diffusion/regional_compilation.md) | User-facing optimization guide |
| Add generated video frames | [Frame Interpolation](../user_guide/diffusion/frame_interpolation.md) | User-facing extension guide |
| Reduce diffusion model startup time | [Startup and Loading](../user_guide/diffusion/startup_and_loading.md) | User-facing loading guide |
| Apply diffusion adapters | [LoRA](../user_guide/diffusion/lora.md) | User-facing extension guide |
The [Pipeline Parallelism guide](../user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/pipeline_parallel.md)
remains available by direct link, but it is not promoted in the primary User
Guide navigation until its user-facing support and placement are settled.

[Session State Manager](session_state_manager.md) is opt-in and experimental.
Its APIs and compatibility may change without notice.

# Diffusion Startup and Loading
Large diffusion models can take several minutes to load at startup. vLLM-Omni
loads safetensors shards in parallel to reduce this initialization time.
Multi-thread weight loading is enabled by default with four threads. No
configuration is needed for the default behavior.
## Configuration
| Parameter | CLI flag | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `enable_multithread_weight_load` | `--disable-multithread-weight-load` | `True` | Pass the flag to disable multi-thread loading |
| `num_weight_load_threads` | `--num-weight-load-threads` | `4` | Number of parallel weight-loading threads |
!!! tip
The default balances startup speed and disk I/O contention. Fast NVMe
storage may benefit from more threads, while network storage or hard disks
may not.
## Online Serving
```bash
# Default: multi-thread loading with four threads
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image --omni --port 8091
# Increase the thread count
vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers --omni \
--num-weight-load-threads 8
# Disable multi-thread loading
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image --omni --disable-multithread-weight-load
```
## Offline Inference
```python
from vllm_omni import Omni
# Default: multi-thread loading with four threads
omni = Omni(model="Qwen/Qwen-Image")
# Increase the thread count
omni = Omni(
model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers",
num_weight_load_threads=8,
)
```
## Reference Benchmarks
The following measurements were collected on NVIDIA H800 hardware. Treat them
as reference results rather than a guarantee for other storage or hardware
configurations.

remain unverified.
2. TeaCache and Cache-DiT are not compatible.

4. CPU Offloading (Layerwise) supports single-card for now.
5. Using FP8-Quant as an example of qunatization methods.
4. The CPU Offloading (Layerwise) row describes local layerwise offload.
Multi-device Distributed Layerwise Offload has a separate topology and
compatibility matrix in the [CPU Offloading guide](diffusion/cpu_offload.md#distributed-layerwise-offloading).
5. The compatibility matrix uses FP8 as the representative quantization method.
6. Step Execution is not compatible with any diffusion cache backend. LoRA is supported, but each scheduled batch must use a single adapter (requests with different `lora_request` or `lora_scale` are kept in separate batches).
## Multi-Thread Weight Loading
Large diffusion models can take several minutes to load weights at startup (e.g., ~3 min for Qwen-Image, ~5 min for Wan2.2 I2V 14B). Multi-thread weight loading speeds up this process by loading safetensors shards in parallel using a thread pool instead of sequentially.
This optimization is **enabled by default** with 4 threads. No configuration is needed for the default behavior.
### Configuration
| Parameter | CLI Flag | Default | Description |
|-----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `enable_multithread_weight_load` | `--disable-multithread-weight-load` | `True` (enabled) | Pass the flag to disable multi-thread loading |
| `num_weight_load_threads` | `--num-weight-load-threads` | `4` | Number of threads for parallel weight loading |
!!! tip
The default of 4 threads balances speed and disk I/O contention. On fast NVMe storage you may benefit from more threads (e.g., 8). On HDD or network storage, the default of 4 avoids saturating I/O bandwidth.
### Online Serving
```bash
# Default (multi-thread enabled, 4 threads)
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image --omni --port 8091
