felalex 1717f21f69 fix: handle CUDA query failure and free-VRAM contention in gpu_mem_limit
Targeted follow-ups to the embeddings_manager ORT leak fix that affect all
GPU-resident embedding models (Jina text+vision, PaddleOCR det+rec, ArcFace,
YOLOv9 license plate). Detection-side YOLO runners are unaffected since
CudaGraphRunner does not call compute_cuda_mem_limit.

- compute_cuda_mem_limit now checks the cudaMemGetInfo return code instead
  of trusting that a non-throwing call populated the buffers. Previously a
  non-zero rc left both pointers at 0, producing gpu_mem_limit=0 and
  immediate session OOM rather than the documented 4 GB fallback.
- The limit also factors in currently-free VRAM (free * 0.9), not just
  total. On a shared GPU where co-resident embedding sessions have already
  consumed most of the device, capping at 80% of total still over-allocates.
- The CUDA graph fallback path now logs the underlying exception text so
  failures (cudaErrorStreamCaptureUnsupported, missing libnvrtc, etc.)
  stop being swallowed by the bare except.

Tests cover all three regression paths plus updated existing tests that
now require cudaMemGetInfo to return cudaSuccess explicitly.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status
English

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
