Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo

Viggle AI

Built with Qwen. A few-step distilled student of Qwen/Qwen-Image-2.1, trained by Viggle with Distribution Matching Distillation. It does both text-to-image and instruction-driven editing with 1–3 reference images in 6 transformer passes instead of 40, with no classifier-free guidance. src="https://huggingface.co/Viggle/Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo/resolve/main/assets/viggleturbopromo.mp4"> About 5× faster than the 40-step base model end to end, and very competitive with it in quality: on the official Qwen examples the two are hard to tell apart on most prompts, and on some — dense layouts like the character style infographic — we prefer the turbo's render.

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 parameters in its visual generation component (32 Single-Stream DiT layers), Qwen-Image-2.1 balances generation quality, inference efficiency, and versatility. Four key improvements define this release: - Compact and Efficient — A lightweight architecture with mixed-granularity attention and prefix KV cache reuse delivers strong image quality at low computational cost. - Native Transparency, Unified Creation and Editing — Generate regular or transparent (RGBA) images from text, edit transparent layers, and extract subjects from photographs—all in one…

Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo

Jrashzhou

Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo is an accelerated checkpoint of Qwen-Image-2.1 for text-to-image generation and image editing with 8 denoising steps. It uses the same 7B visual generation architecture and loads directly with QwenImage21Pipeline in Diffusers. The checkpoint includes its recommended sampling schedule, so it is ready to use without manually configuring the scheduler. Generation uses CFG=1 by default, and prefix KV caching reuses the text and reference-image context across denoising steps. For more details, see the GitHub repo and Qwen-Image-2.1 blog. Install a CUDA-compatible PyTorch build, then install the latest Diffusers source and the following dependencies: This checkpoint requires…
