Developer SamuelTallet shipped Pruna's distilled Qwen-Image 2.1 (8 steps) as a single bundled model in his open-source tool ZPix. On an RTX 3070M 8GB laptop GPU it generates a 1024x1024 image in 20 seconds once warm. The base model is also included; both support LoRAs, with the base handling them better. Available on GitHub.
