Deprecated flags

These flags are hidden from --help. They still parse so that old commands and .kcpps files keep working; some still have an effect, others are ignored. Use the replacement listed for each.

Value: value

Deprecated: sets several Horde worker options at once.

Use instead: --hordemodelname, --hordegenlen, --hordemaxctx, --hordekey and --hordeworkername. Still works and overrides those flags; the key and worker name are only taken when all five values are given.

Value: value

Deprecated: sets the image model and some image options at once.

Use instead: --sdmodel, --sdclamped, --sdthreads and --sdquant. Still works.

Deprecated: runs on the CPU only.

Use instead: --usecpu. Still works.

Also: --no-mmap

Deprecated: turned off memory mapping.

Use instead: Nothing needed: mmap is now off by default; use --usemmap to turn it on. Has no effect.

Deprecated: turned off pipeline parallelism across GPUs.

Use instead: Nothing: pipeline parallelism is now automatic. Has no effect.

Deprecated: turned on pipeline parallelism across GPUs.

Use instead: Nothing: pipeline parallelism is now automatic. Has no effect.

Deprecated: turned off VAE tiling for image generation.

Use instead: --sdtiledvae 0. Has no effect on the command line; only old .kcpps files that lack sdtiledvae still apply it.

Value: [filename]

Deprecated: the T5-XXL text encoder for image models.

Use instead: --sdllm. Still works when --sdllm is not set.

Deprecated: ran the image VAE on the CPU.

Use instead: --sdvaedevice CPU. Still works when --sdvaedevice is not set.

Deprecated: ran the image text encoders on the GPU.

Use instead: --sdclipdevice main. Still works when --sdclipdevice is not set.

Deprecated: forced a model format version.

Use instead: Nothing. Has no effect.

Deprecated: default parameters for image generation requests.

Use instead: --gendefaults. The command-line flag has no effect; in an old config without gendefaults, its value is carried over.

Also: --flash-attn, -fa

Deprecated: turned on flash attention.

The -fa alias is still accepted, so llama.cpp-style command lines do not fail.

Use instead: Nothing needed: flash attention is on by default; use --noflashattention to turn it off. Has no effect on the command line, but an old .kcpps with flashattention set to false turns flash attention off.

Deprecated: turned on sliding-window attention (SWA).

Use instead: Nothing needed: SWA is on by default; use --noswa to turn it off. Has no effect on the command line, but an old .kcpps with useswa set to false turns SWA off.
