A Reddit user's appreciation post for Qwen's image model: previously on Flux1dev and Kontext for generation and reference editing, they now find Qwen better on every front — quality and speed. First-run mistakes were solved by simply re-running, and the editing is "simply goated." They also run it at int8 on just 8GB of VRAM.
