Add --vae_cpu argument to enable VAE offloading for consumer GPUs with limited VRAM. When enabled, VAE initializes on CPU and moves to GPU only when needed for encoding/decoding operations. Key changes: - Add --vae_cpu argument to generate.py (mirrors --t5_cpu pattern) - Update all 4 pipelines (T2V, I2V, FLF2V, VACE) with conditional VAE offloading - Fix DiT offloading to free VRAM before T5 loading when offload_model=True - Handle VAE scale tensors (mean/std) during device transfers Benefits: - Saves ~100-200MB VRAM without performance degradation - Enables T2V-1.3B on more consumer GPUs (tested on 11.49GB GPU) - Backward compatible (default=False) - Consistent with existing --t5_cpu flag Test results on 11.49 GiB VRAM GPU: - Baseline: OOM (needed 80MB, only 85MB free) - With --vae_cpu: Success - With --t5_cpu: Success - With both flags: Success (maximum VRAM savings) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
