    @azsaber Yeah, this was my first test with just 4 steps euler/basic:

    https://civitai.red/posts/30675099

    There is some smudging, but I did it at .52 MP and 4 steps which is crazy. Bumping up the MP or steps to 6-8 will be my next test to see the generation time vs value add. I am poor and on a 3060 12g and the linked 10 second clip took around 8 minutes to generate.

    @FirstPrinciples Actually it is a blend of distillation, I tuned to fit from the ltx turbo loras.
    Most of the time it works flawless, but depending on extra loras or latent-upscale it can overbake. But yeah, nothing is perfect. But hell yeah, 4-step high fidelity outputs!

    "I shot this with a 0.7-megapixel setup — 5-second clip, 20 steps total, which took about 250 seconds to render. Then I tried the 4-step acceleration LoRA, and it finished in just 87 seconds. Honestly, you can barely tell the difference in visual quality between the two — the 4-step version looks just as good as the full 20-step render. The only catch? The audio from the 4-step LoRA is basically nothing but harsh static. But visually? Absolutely killer."

    The released of the v1.1 turbo 4 step 768 was a gae changer for turbo lora FL2VA, 8 days ago.

    If you are still not using it yet for all your T2V, I2V, FLF2V, you are missing an amazing change in term of quality and speed. and just like to waste your time :p

    An personnaly i found the way to get the exact same video /audio quality for R2V at 4 steps, even at the lowest resolution 0.20 mp it's amazing quality.

    But as it was a long testing phase for few days i will keep it secret for now.

    Zh_anAug 28, 2026

    @Pat3dx Thanks, I'm gonna go give it a shot right now.

    @Zh_an https://huggingface.co/lightx2v/Minimax-h3-Turbo/tree/main
    Don't forget to use 1.3 strengh for the v1.1 turbo 4 step lora, this is very important.

    Shift video/audio 6/3, and Euler/Simple.
    don't work for R2V.

    SweetAyannaAug 28, 2026

    @Pat3dx this lora is still giving me smeary visuals at higher res and garbage metallic audio.

    Darksidewalker

    Aug 28, 2026

    for the checkpoint (turbo) you need other settings than for normal, or you will have issues.

    Pat3dxAug 28, 2026

    @SweetAyanna Strange, i have no issue and perfect quality, even at 0.20 mp. perfet video and audio. something must be wrong in your workflow.

    SweetAyannaAug 28, 2026

    @Pat3dx We have extensively tested most turbo loras in the official Comfy Org discord server. And not a single individual that I've seen has gotten any good results with that v1.1 lora. And no there is nothing wrong with my workflow lol. You're the first case that claims to get good results with this. If you want to prove me wrong however you can link a generation with that exact lora, with SFX + dialogue in it. meta data attached so I can verify.

    SweetAyannaAug 28, 2026

    But to actually add to this discussion. When talking 4 steps loras, they are always inferior when it comes to visual and audio (atleast in H3 so far). But the absolute best 4 step lora right now in my opinion is still KJ's: https://huggingface.co/Kijai/MiniMax-H3_comfy/blob/main/loras/minimax_h3_fl2v_lightx2v_turbo_4step_v0.1_comfy.safetensors at 0.75 strength with er_sde/beta. And if you want the absolute best results, almost indistinguishable from base, you use this 8 step lora at 1.0 strength and 8 steps: https://huggingface.co/lightx2v/Minimax-h3-Turbo/blob/main/minimax_h3_fl2v_turbo_8step_v1.0_comfyui_bf16.safetensors
    no video/audio shift needed since those work with the base shift values in comfyui.

    Pat3dxAug 28, 2026

    @SweetAyanna This is the Lora i was using before i saw the results of the enw v1.1, of course. i tested all turbo lora with all checkpoint official int8, nvfp4, etc...or fine tuned. Eros, remix, and pinkcherry.

    but the v1.1 just destroy it 10x better.

    check my last video posted for the Penislora this afternoon.
    https://civitai.red/posts/30670172
    Resolution 384x544 - 4 steps, using the new turbo 4 steps v1.1 768 lora at strengh 1.3 - 40s video generated in 387s with my 4090.

    And this is just an example. As i'm making like 100+ tests everyday while i'm developping and enhancing my custom workflow/custom nodes.
    giving you one of my video will not help you, draging n dropping my video will just load a full red workflow, as i never use native comfyui node, and always develop my own. So, all my workflow are fully custom, no native comfyui node in any of them.

    SweetAyannaAug 28, 2026

    @Pat3dx That example shows the exact issues with that lora. Smeary/Ghosty motion. Bad/Metallic audio. And 387s for that res is extremely long even for 40 second gen on a 4090.

    Pat3dxAug 28, 2026

    @SweetAyanna i don't used my dual sampler with latent upscaler. Just my normal H3 workflow single pass.
    With my new dual latent upscale, it's 3-4x faster of course.
    And trust me i tested all lora with same seed, prompt, with all lora. The difference between the new v1.1 FL2VA turbo lora and older turbo lora, is huge.

    You will never get this quality at this low res, NEVER.

    My goal posting this video this afternoon, was not to proove and show you can get production ready/excellent quality with the new v1.1 lora, of course not, but to show how good is the quality compared to previous lora at this extreme low res.

    and all the comunity on the Lightx2v ntocied exactly the same amazing quality this new lora provide. You may be one of the only one not getting this quality. So maybe you should make another tests with different workflow/parematers.

    And what you surely not noticed, and that make this video even amazing, is that it's not an I2V, but R2V.
    I used my technic to take advantadge of the new fl2va v1.1 turbo lora 4 steps, for R2V. what is sown on this video is fl2va turbo lora used for R2V video.
    And trust me, with the R2V turbo lora, good luck to get this amazing quality at this extreme low res and only 4 steps.
    Everyone know the FL2VA is more powerful in term of quality, motion, consitency than the R2V model. So getting this quality with R2V and previous lora, is just IMPOSSIBLE.

    for a correct video quality, not production ready, consistency, you need at least 10 steps with R2V model+previous lora.

    you can male all tests you want, at only 4 steps with all sampler, you will get horrible video.

    Your model and workflows are working very well (even though they seem quite complex to me) and are doing a great job—thank you and congratulations. I have a request: please add an on/off function to your System Monitor node. I can’t turn off the components I don’t want, and there are a lot of indicators that are completely unnecessary for me. Every time you update the node (I’m sorry to say this, but), I have to delete your System Monitor node. :)

    is it the quality of 8 steps is better than 4 steps but lots slower? And how about the not turbo one?

    I've downloaded all three but they seems are the same quality in ref2VA...? My setting 8 steps res_multistep simple shift_video12 shift_audio3. Am I confused something?

    for turbo you may use euler+simple, not res_multistep.
    Naturally it should be: non-turbo > 8-step > 4-step ; In quality.

    biosalAug 29, 2026

    @Darksidewalker Boss, one thing had to be ensured first, should I add turbo lora in those 8 steps/4 steps model? As your precious wan2.2 is lora free. And could I add turbo lora for the non-turbo version to speed up?

    Somehow this model makes everything darker, at last in rev2va. the previous model didnt had this problem.

    MonorixAug 29, 2026

    Same here — all the new models show a color shift. On 10s videos the first and last frames differ quite a lot. if you extend the video to 20s, the semi‑real animation turns into a full anime style. This wasn’t present in the previous version.

    nopcie965Aug 29, 2026

    +1. Despite explicit prompting of brightly lit room, the output just makes the windows brighter but the characters are very dark and lots of shadows.

    Darksidewalker

    Aug 29, 2026

    I did a full 25s realistic video test with the 8turbo and no loras. There was no style shift at all.
    There was no prompt given to not influence the model, that's why I posted it into my discord on the fails channel.

    ProvoisAug 29, 2026

    @Darksidewalker I testet it with a a 15 sec anime style scene, with lots of references and while vanilla h3 and your old model could match the colors, your new models made the character way darker. I testet it with the 4 step and no turbo version.

    HorstDieterAug 30, 2026

    @Monorix I noticed the same, but only with the 8Step Turbo, the Standard version + Turbo Lora stays close to the reference images. Have not tested the 4step version yet.

    LastAssignmentSep 4, 2026

    @Darksidewalker I've got the same issue no matter the settings, everything is darker using the standard model, haven't bothered with the turbo versions.

    EDIT: Sorry, I hadn't read the "What NOT to expect" part. It does not have NSFW capabilities beyond the original model. My mistake. Since I use your other models, I just assumed incorrectly.

    I tested all three models, and it seems that using an external Turbo_LoRA—rather than the built-in Turbo—is the best approach for now. Of course, that depends on the use case...

    @Darksidewalker Turns out I am just stupid, I thought the 4 in the turbo model stands for 4bit integer and not for the steps, and I was confused that it stays at 8bit, and the filename was cut exactly, so that all models had the same name.

    @HorstDieter The naming comes from civitai, the files actually have different names 😑

    HorstDieterAug 30, 2026

    @Darksidewalker So I tried 8Step turbo version and compared it to the standard version with a turbo lora, same settings 8 steps, same 4 images as reference, tried both euler and res_multistep. The Standard+Turbo Lora really seems to follow the style of the reference images, while your 8Step turbo version, seems to ignore the style of the references images and produce a more comic/anime style. Is that intended?

    Incredible work!

    The 8Steps Turbo version causes the original art style of the anime image to be lost
    but the non-Turbo version works like charm.
    (Non-turbo and PDD Acc was best for me)

    Thanks!

    I have a nvidia 16gb vram and 32 system ram. Would this be able to run on it?

    I'm trying to use your workflow. So for the hybrid, i assume I can use it for both fl2va & ref2va models. DShould it continue using the same vae and clips?

    you should be able to i run it w 8gb vram and 64gb sys ram and ram only hits roughly 50%. U prob dont need to w 16gb VRAM but for me running model through these nodes makes low vram work like a charm still.

    @HexogenAI --disable-dynamic-vram --disable-smart-memory --cache-none --low-vram <- start comfy with those modifiers and watch the magic happen. I'm running with 8gb vram and 32gb sys ram. Just, but it fits.

    @n3303422573 thanks, but i definitely won't be using those, because my system can handle all files and cache fully loaded to ram, i don't really need this. Using those arguments would only slow down the generation process for me.

    Thanks for your amazing works!
    I've tried both 4stepsTurbo and 8stepsTurbo version.
    Your Checkpoint really does have better prompt understanding than other models!


    I love the 4StepsTurbo version more than another, while it keeps the character features from reference while having good motion and prompt understanding.

    I think the 8StepsTurbo version seems to have a tendency to alter the characters' facial features.

    wris3Aug 31, 2026

    good model, tried the non-turbo variant. It works well and main improvement I see is better face consistency but it comes at the cost of losing some "details knowledge", for instance the model now seems to ignore things such as wind effects. It can do it but much less than the original model with identical prompting.

    maybe lucky seeds but for any other low vram users, im getting reallllllly good results and speed using 10 steps on the 8step turbo running it through:
    PatchSageAttention KJ>SageAttn Patch H3>Patch Sol-Attn>MiniMax H3 Fused Modulation>MiniMax H3 Chunk Feed Forward>MiniMax H3 Cache>Easy Cache

    A little over board but gets results. Very very very mild settings on easy cache tho.

    Hey, love your work. Any chance you'd upload w4a8 versions of your H3 models, or BF16s so I can make them with my converter?

    Darksidewalker
    Author
    Sep 1, 2026· 1 reaction

    Didn't want to do it for now. I have my own tool that could do it just fine.

    The major point why most don't release a w4a8 for now is, that it cannot hold up on quality and people start complaining about the checkpoint and not realizing they use a ultra compressed quant that for sure have lower quality.

    Maybe if some other major techs are evolved enough to compensate that.

    inflatebotSep 1, 2026

    @Darksidewalker Understandable. I will say that w4a8 is like space-magic levels of good. Where Wan2.2 Q4 was barely useable, H3 w4a8 feels like it's between 6 and 8 bits, not 4. Beats the pants off of Q4 and NVFP4, that's for sure (plus it's fast on pre-50 series cards :P) Convrot kinda is the compensating tech.

    Honestly a BF16 would be plenty, from there people could make whatever quant they prefer and the poor results they get are their fault. :P

    That said, yeah, logistics are a thing. I've been responsible for projects that got WAY beyond my own ability to support so I get it!!

    alphaatlas100844Sep 3, 2026

    @Darksidewalker

    It doesn't have to be one or the other.

    I'd recommend leaving the attention at int8, but you can still save tons of space converting the MLP layers to w4a8 without changing output quality much at all. You just need to specify which tensors get what.

    ...But my issue with w4a8 is that some runtimes don't seem to like it, and it can silently drop inference speeds.

    Darksidewalker
    Author
    Sep 3, 2026

    @alphaatlas100844 Thats what w4a8 is doing, saving the attention layers into 8-bit, the weights to 4-bit. ... This does not magically have no impact on quality/adherence.

    I'd tried requantizing the int8 and it was pretty visibly degraded compared to going right from BF16 to w4a8, which to be fair, I did expect. xD

    Actually not planned, I couldn't see any advantage over pruned. Did you have any evidence that would justify that?

    @Darksidewalker I think the new VDN connection is actually only compatible with unpruned models, so pruned only misses a big speed increase from being able to do 30-step quality at 8 steps with your model. Think people still catching up to VDN tbh

    I’ve been using your WAN GGUF version for quite a while now, it’s been incredibly helpful for someone like me running an RTX 4070 TI.

    Today, I spent the whole day testing the Hybrid V1 int4 version for I2V with audio. I was amazed at how obedient the model is, it generates perfectly fitting audio as long as the prompt is right.

    What’s even better is the flexibility to swap the standard 8-step Turbo LoRA in and out depending on my needs.

    Thanks, DaSiWa. I don't know what kind of magic you used here. Wishing you all the best!

    I fixed it manually by using the Comfy integrated adjust contrast/brightness nodes before saving the video:

    Contrast to 0.88

    Brightness to 1.09

    Those settings should be fine from what I've seen so far, it's not perfect but it's better than the extreme contrast you get by default.

    Edit: If you generate videos with a very dark first frame then I don't recommend using those settings, it'll just blow the colors out.
