kohya_ss installing on newer Intel XPU (Arrow Lake-H) — Windows + Python 3.12

[psilofski]

Hi folks! I got kohya_ss installed successfully on newer Intel integrated GPU (Core Ultra 7 255H - arc 140T) via XPU using:

• Python 3.12
• torch 2.7.1+xpu (+ manual install)
• intel-extension-for-pytorch 2.7.10+xpu
• pytorch_triton_xpu for fused kernel ops

This setup uses the official +xpu wheels from PyTorch's repo and avoids torch==2.3.1 legacy builds.

Full install steps here:

Need to do some more testing cause the laptop hard crashed a while after that the train had started (thermal? Drivers?)

I believe that this would be useful to intel battlemage users though...

Let me know if others run into issues getting it working and I’ll try to help!
