An early hands-on reaction to the newly released Qwen Image 2.1: ComfyUI default templates produced underwhelming results, editing was hit-or-miss in quick benchmark tests, and the previous 2511 version actually did better on some cases. The author repeatedly caveats that these are first-hour impressions and settings may change things, but reports no "WOW factor" so far.
