Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading train_dreambooth_lora_sdxl.py and reviewing how the training run handles GPU memory with the reported Diffusers, PyTorch, Accelerate, and PEFT versions. Reproduce the run on the stated Linux and NVIDIA H800 setup, then trace what remains allocated after training. Done means the cause is identified and VRAM release is verified after the script finishes.
