From d43a6dfd69d6a2d8693675c5268a7c25b58ffba1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 16:09:18 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Flow Euler sampler + structure-stage pipeline The structure stage now runs end to end on Metal: noise -> ss_flow (12-step Euler) -> latent -> ss_dec -> 64^3 occupancy grid. 759 ms/step for the 1.3B DiT, 50 ms for the decoder. Output lands at 1.36% occupancy, which is the right order for a surface in a 64^3 grid. Sampler details worth recording, both from upstream: - CFG is a LERP (g*pos + (1-g)*neg), NOT neg + g*(pos-neg). Those differ non-linearly in strength rather than failing outright, so it is silent when wrong. Tested. - Guidance interval forces strength to 1 outside its window, which halves model calls there: 6 calls for 4 steps rather than 8. Tested by counting. Schedule matches upstream to 1e-16 and constant velocity integrates exactly at any step count. Remaining for a real image->3D run is CONDITIONING, not models: DINOv3 features plus Pixal3D's camera back-projection for the view-aligned 'proj' half. Deliberately not porting DINOv3 - it is a stock ViT run once per image, outside the denoising loop, so torch on MPS is the right tool and transformers gives exact parity for free. --- pixal3d_mlx/pipeline.py | 77 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ pixal3d_mlx/sampler.py | 118 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_sampler.py | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 273 insertions(+) create mode 100644 pixal3d_mlx/pipeline.py create mode 100644 pixal3d_mlx/sampler.py create mode 100644 tests/test_sampler.py diff --git a/pixal3d_mlx/pipeline.py b/pixal3d_mlx/pipeline.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6342b14 --- /dev/null +++ b/pixal3d_mlx/pipeline.py @@ -0,0 +1,77 @@ +"""Pixal3D stage wiring for MLX. + +What runs today: the STRUCTURE stage, end to end on Metal — + noise -> ss_flow (Euler sampling) -> latent -> ss_dec -> occupancy grid + +What is still missing for a real image->3D run is the conditioning, not the models. +Pixal3D conditions on DINOv3 features in two forms: + + global : [B, M, 1024] pooled image tokens, cross-attended + proj : [B, N, 1024] VIEW-ALIGNED features, one token per spatial position, + projected and ADDED rather than attended + +The `proj` half is the actual novelty — it back-projects pixel features into 3D through +the camera, which is what keeps silhouettes exact.
