PrunaAI 6-step LoRAs cut Qwen-Image-2.1 to 6 steps, drop upsampling
sdiazlor · reddit · 2026-10-28
PrunaAI published a set of 6-step distilled LoRA adapters on Hugging Face that load directly on top of Qwen-Image-2.1 without pipeline changes, cutting image generation/editing from 40 steps to 6.
Key points:
- Two variants: 6-steps for preserving inputs when editing; 6-steps-upsampled for better visual quality and shorter end-to-end generation.
- The upsampled variant is the first few-step distillation to remove the separate prompt-upsampling step, saving 41-80 seconds depending on prompt style.
