Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo Runs Locally: int8 Quantized Config Delivers Images in 8 Steps
Ant_6431 · reddit · 2026-10-10
A Reddit user shared their quantized workflow config for running Qwen Image 2.1 turbo (Krea2 turbo) locally:
- Model components: qwenimage2.1turboint8convrot + qwen3vl8bint8convrot + qwenimage2.1vaebf16
- A lighter alternative: krea2turboint8convrot + qwen3vl4bint8convrot + qwenimagevae
- Sampler settings: euler simple, with image generation in just 8 steps
The key idea is using int8 convrot quantization to compress both the model and text encoder, dramatically lowering VRAM requirements and making it well suited for consumer-grade local deployment.
