by adding a layer with all the pytorch dependencies that don't change most of the time. ## Summary Every time the [`main` docker images](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/pkgs/container/invokeai) rebuild and I pull `main-cuda`, it gets another 3+ GB, which seems like about a zillion times too much since most things don't change from one commit on `main` to the next. This is an attempt to follow the guidance in [Using uv in Docker: Intermediate Layers](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/integration/docker/#intermediate-layers) so there's one layer that installs all the dependencies—including PyTorch with its bundled nvidia libraries—_before_ the project's own frequently-changing files are copied in to the image. ## Related Issues / Discussions - [Improved docker layer cache with uv](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1329975172022927370) - [astral: Can `uv pip install` torch, but not `uv sync` it](https://discord.com/channels/1039017663004942429/1329986610770612347) ## QA Instructions Hopefully the CI system building the docker images is sufficient. But there is one change to `pyproject.toml` related to xformers, so it'd be worth checking that `python -m xformers.info` still says it has triton on the platforms that expect it. ## Merge Plan I don't expect this to be a disruptive merge. (An earlier revision of this PR moved the venv, but I've reverted that change at ebr's recommendation.) ## Checklist - [ ] _The PR has a short but descriptive title, suitable for a changelog_ - [ ] _Tests added / updated (if applicable)_ - [ ] _Documentation added / updated (if applicable)_ - [ ] _Updated `What's New` copy (if doing a release after this PR)_
