# LoRA Inference Examples
This directory contains examples for using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters with vLLM-omni diffusion models for offline inference.
The example uses the `stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-medium` as the default model, but you can replace it with other models in vLLM-omni.
## Overview
Similar to vLLM, vLLM-omni uses a unified LoRA handling mechanism:
- **Pre-loaded LoRA**: Loaded at initialization via `--lora-path` (pre-loaded into cache)
- **Per-request LoRA**: Loaded on-demand. In the example, the LoRA is loaded via `--lora-request-path` in each request
Both approaches use the same underlying mechanism - all LoRA adapters are handled uniformly through `set_active_adapter()`. If no LoRA request is provided in a request, all adapters are deactivated.
## Usage
### Pre-loaded LoRA (via --lora-path)
Load a LoRA adapter at initialization. This adapter is pre-loaded into the cache and can be activated by requests:
```bash
python -m examples.offline_inference.lora_inference.lora_inference \
--prompt "A piece of cheesecake" \
--lora-path /path/to/lora/ \
--lora-scale 1.0 \
--num_inference_steps 50 \
--height 1024 \
--width 1024 \
--output output_preloaded.png
```
**Note**: When using `--lora-path`, the adapter is loaded at init time with a stable ID derived from the adapter path. This example activates it automatically for the request.
### Per-request LoRA (via --lora-request-path)
Load a LoRA adapter on-demand for each request:
```bash
python -m examples.offline_inference.lora_inference.lora_inference \
--prompt "A piece of cheesecake" \
--lora-request-path /path/to/lora/ \
--lora-scale 1.0 \
--num_inference_steps 50 \
--height 1024 \
--width 1024 \
--output output_per_request.png
```
### No LoRA
If no LoRA request is provided, we will use the base model without any LoRA adapters:
```bash
python -m examples.offline_inference.lora_inference.lora_inference \
--prompt "A piece of cheesecake" \
--num_inference_steps 50 \
--height 1024 \
--width 1024 \
--output output_no_lora.png
```
## Parameters
### LoRA Parameters
- `--lora-path`: Path to LoRA adapter folder to pre-load at initialization (loads into cache with a stable ID derived from the path)
- `--lora-request-path`: Path to LoRA adapter folder for per-request loading
- `--lora-request-id`: Integer ID for the LoRA adapter (optional). If not provided and `--lora-request-path` is set, will derive a stable ID from the path.
- `--lora-scale`: Scale factor for LoRA weights (default: 1.0). Higher values increase the influence of the LoRA adapter.
### Standard Parameters
- `--prompt`: Text prompt for image generation (required)
- `--seed`: Random seed for reproducibility (default: 42)
- `--height`: Image height in pixels (default: 1024)
- `--width`: Image width in pixels (default: 1024)
- `--num_inference_steps`: Number of denoising steps (default: 50)
- `--output`: Output file path (default: `lora_output.png`)
## How LoRA Works
All LoRA adapters are handled uniformly:
1. **Initialization**: If `--lora-path` is provided, the adapter is loaded into cache with a stable ID derived from the adapter path
2. **Per-request**: If `--lora-request-path` is provided, the adapter is loaded/activated for that request
3. **No LoRA**: If no LoRA request is provided (`req.lora_request` is None), all adapters are deactivated
The system uses LRU cache management - adapters are cached and evicted when the cache is full (unless pinned).
## LoRA Adapter Format
LoRA adapters must be in PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) format. A typical LoRA adapter directory structure:
```
lora_adapter/
├── adapter_config.json
└── adapter_model.safetensors
```
