Model Card

This is a modular diffusion pipeline built with Diffusers' modular pipeline framework. Description: Auto Modular pipeline for text-to-image and image-conditioned generation using Qwen-Image 2.1. - for text-to-image generation, all you need to provide is prompt - for image-conditioned generation, you need to provide prompt and image (one image or a list) This pipeline uses a 4-block architecture that can be customized and extended. [TODO] This modular pipeline is composed of the following blocks: 1. textencoder (QwenImage21AutoTextEncoderStep) - Text encoder step that encodes the prompt, together with the condition images when there are any. 2. vaeencoder (QwenImage21AutoVaeEncoderStep)…

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…
