AuroraIMG2-50M-Preview: a tiny 50M text-to-image model that runs on a 2016 laptop CPU

AuroraAI-Research released AuroraIMG2-50M-Preview, an ultra-small text-to-image model: the denoiser is only 50M parameters, and with a custom text encoder plus the pretrained Flux VAE, end-to-end inference totals around 90M parameters. It generates images in 27s at 50 steps or 11s at 20 steps on a 2016 laptop CPU (Intel i5-7200U). Licensed under Apache 2.0, with samples and a quick-start in the model card.
