Qwen-Image-2.1-GGUF

Unsloth AI

This is a GGUF quantized version of Qwen-Image-2.1. unsloth/Qwen-Image-2.1-GGUF uses Unsloth Dynamic 2.0 methodology for SOTA performance. - Important layers are upcasted to higher precision, per tensor, from a measured sensitivity scan. - Run these with Unsloth Desktop, stable-diffusion.cpp and more. A GGUF is the denoiser only, so it needs the VAE and the Qwen3-VL text encoder alongside it. See below for image editing operating inside of Unsloth Desktop: Rendered with the Q4KM denoiser and the Q4KM text encoder, 1024x1024, 20 steps, cfg 6.0, euler. We are excited to open-source Qwen-Image-2.1, a unified text-to-image generation and image editing model in the Qwen family. With just 7B…

Z-Image-Turbo-GGUF

Unsloth AI

Welcome to the official repository for the Z-Image(造相)project! Z-Image is a powerful and highly efficient image generation model with 6B parameters. Currently there are three variants: - Z-Image-Turbo – A distilled version of Z-Image that matches or exceeds leading competitors with only 8 NFEs (Number of Function Evaluations). It offers sub-second inference latency on enterprise-grade H800 GPUs and fits comfortably within 16G VRAM consumer devices. It excels in photorealistic image generation, bilingual text rendering (English & Chinese), and robust instruction adherence. - Z-Image-Base – The non-distilled foundation model. By releasing this checkpoint, we aim to unlock the full potential…

Juggernaut-XL-v9

RunDiffusion

The SDXL ecosystem is the single most mature corner of open image generation, and v9 is its most refined photorealism checkpoint. Choose Juggernaut XL v9 when you want: - Photorealism that holds up under scrutiny — skin texture, micro-contrast, and natural lighting that translates from concept to print. - Reasonable hardware — runs comfortably on 8 GB of VRAM, unlike newer DiT-based models that demand 16+ GB. - The full SDXL toolbox — drop-in compatibility with the thousands of SDXL ControlNets, IP-Adapter variants, AnimateDiff, regional prompting tools, and LoRAs already in your workflow. - Battle-tested reliability — 26+ months in production, used in agencies, studios, and shipping…
