In October 2024, made a focused reliability improvement to the image generation workflow in pytorch/torchchat by implementing image prompt existence validation in the Generator. The change validates all provided image prompts prior to model load and raises a clear RuntimeError if any prompts are missing, preventing downstream failures and providing actionable user feedback. The fix addresses issue #1322 and is implemented in commit 7fe2c867cb02a115b91884655a2cbdd20dfe996a. Overall, this work enhances robustness of image prompt workflows, improves user trust, and reduces potential support burden.
