David Hendrickson(@TeksEdge):If you're already generating images using Qwen Image2.1 locally its new Turbo version generates and edits in just 8 denoising steps (much faster). Qwen says Qwen-Images-2.1-Turbo it supports 2K generation and has released weights for use through Diffusers. So now you can try different lighting, backgrounds or accessories, then keep editing your favorite—all on your own hardware and test alternates. Early replies report shorter generation times, but I haven’t verified their hardware settings or reproduced results. Link in ALT.
