Viggle Turbo v0.3 — 6-step Qwen-Image-2.1

Text-to-image and image editing in 6 steps: about 5× faster than the 40-step Qwen-Image-2.1 and very competitive with it in quality — see the Comparison tab. Leave the references empty for text-to-image, or add up to 6 to edit, compose or transfer style.

Model card, weights and ComfyUI workflows: Viggle/Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo

A distilled Qwen-Image-2.1 that runs with no classifier-free guidance. On most prompts it is hard to tell apart from the base model; small, dense text and complicated edits (multi-reference composition, face swaps, identity-preserving edits) can still fall short of it. The Comparison tab has 32 examples of the official Qwen Space side by side, turbo vs base, same seed.

v0.3 (2026-09-29): at 6 steps, less grain than v0.2.1 and a little softer on fine texture. We think 6 steps is close to its capacity: every further gain we found cost something elsewhere. 9 steps runs 7 turbo steps and lets the base model finish the last two: finer detail and small text right more often, at about 1.4–1.5× the time of 6 steps. v0.2.1 can still be picked under Advanced settings. Weights: v0.3 LoRA r256 (and v0.2.1) from Viggle/Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo.
Output size

The menu switches to the editing sizes as soon as a reference is attached. Custom sizes above 2048² area (1536² when editing) are scaled down, keeping the ratio.
Enhance prompt

Rewrite the prompt with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (+~2 s). Auto rewrites prompts under 30 tokens and sends longer ones as written. When it runs, the prompt and the reference images (downscaled to at most 0.5 MP) are sent through OpenRouter to a zero-retention host of that model; Off sends nothing. The text actually sent to the image model is shown under the result.

Model version

v0.3 is the default. v0.2.1 is the previous release: a little sharper on fine texture, with more grain.
