Qwen-Image-2.1 gets GGUF quantization, could run text-to-image on a Snapdragon 865 phone

A Reddit user notes that both Qwen-Image-2.1 and Qwen3-VL-8B now ship in GGUF format, speculating that a Q4KM quantization could run text-to-image locally on Android devices like a Snapdragon 865 — similar to how Z-Image-Turbo does. The post includes several sample images generated with prompts from Civitai, with the author admitting it would be very slow and calling it "just an idea."
