# Release Notes - Nunchaku OOM Fix v1.0

## Release Information
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Release Date:** September 9, 2025
- **Type:** Hotfix/Patch

## Overview
This patch addresses critical CUDA out of memory errors occurring in ComfyUI-nunchaku on high-VRAM GPUs (14GB+).

## Problem Solved
CUDA error: out of memory (at C:\Users\muyangl\actions-runner_work\nunchaku\nunchaku\src\Tensor.h:95)
- **Issue:** Nunchaku automatically disables CPU offload for GPUs with ≥14GB VRAM
- **Impact:** CUDA OOM errors despite sufficient VRAM
- **Affected GPUs:** RTX 3090 (24GB), RTX 4080 (16GB), RTX 4090 (24GB), and similar

## Solution
Forces CPU offload to remain enabled when set to "auto" mode, preventing memory allocation failures.

## Files Included (6 files)
1. `apply_nunchaku_patch.py` - Core patch script
2. `nunchaku_force_cpu_offload.patch` - Git patch file  
3. `APPLY_PATCH.bat` - Windows quick apply
