 |--------|---------|-------------|
 | `backend` | `backend:clip=cpu,vae=cuda0,diffusion=vulkan0` | Runtime (compute) backend assignment per component. Use `cpu` to place a component's compute on the CPU. Component keys include `te` (text encoder / CLIP), `vae`, `diffusion`, `controlnet`. |
 | `params_backend` | `params_backend:diffusion=disk,clip=cpu` | Where parameters (weights) are stored. Supports `cpu`, `disk` (mmap weights from disk to save RAM/VRAM), or per-component specs. |
-| `max_vram` | `max_vram:8` or `max_vram:-1` | VRAM budget (in GiB) for graph-cut segmented parameter offload. `0` disables it, `-1` auto-selects (free VRAM minus ~1 GiB). Also accepts per-backend budgets. |
-| `stream_layers` | `stream_layers:true` | Enable residency + prefetch streaming on top of `max_vram` (no effect unless `max_vram` is set). |
+| `max_vram` | `max_vram:8` or `max_vram:-1` | Optional per-device VRAM budget (in GiB) for managed weights and automatic graph-cut execution. `0` uses live free VRAM without an explicit cap; a negative value reserves that many GiB of free VRAM. Also accepts per-backend budgets. |
+| `stream_layers` | `stream_layers:true` | Deprecated compatibility option. Segmented weight streaming is now selected automatically, so this value is ignored. |
 | `rpc_servers` | `rpc_servers:localhost:50052,192.168.1.3:50052` | Comma-separated list of `host:port` RPC servers to offload compute to. |
