The adapters enable text-to-image generation and image editing in 5 or 8 steps while keeping the base pipeline, text encoder, and VAE unchanged. Training is based on DMD and improved using Qwen.<ul><li>5 or 8 inference steps</li><li>Up to 6.3x faster in the original benchmark</li><li>No CFG</li><li>Text-to-image and image editing</li><li>BF16, CUDA GPU required</li><li>LoRA strength: 1.0</li></ul><h2 id="variants">Variants</h2>Both adapters are v0.1.

Prompt upsampling is optional; detailed prompts usually work better.<ul><li>Start at 1024 x 1024.</li><li>Use at most 3 reference images for editing.</li><li>Higher resolutions, including 2K, and more reference images may work, but are outside the training coverage and quality may vary.</li></ul><h2 id="benchmarking">Benchmarking</h2>Original benchmark: official Qwen model-card example prompt, BF16, batch size 1, one NVIDIA H100 80GB, median of 3 requests after one warmup. It includes prompt encoding, denoising, and decoding, and excludes PNG saving, model loading, and warmup.
