This started as a fun experiment with one simple rule: "Nobody touches the DiT booty." 🏴‍☠️The pirate insisted.Project Chimera is built on a custom Turbo/Raw hybrid DiT, not a Turbo LoRA or simple weighted merge. The primary innovation is extensive modification of the TextFusion (CLIP) components, while the underlying hybrid DiT architecture itself remains unchanged.⚠️ Requirements for w4a8 Please make sure you're using ComfyUI v0.31.0 or newer. Older builds may not include the required W4A8 support.Low-VRAM users: I also made a W4A8 quantized Qwen 3 VL 4B text encoder, only 2.86 GB.
