P-JiT 21K: 2B pixel-space text-to-image model trained for $21K gets native ComfyUI port

Linum released P-JiT 21K, a 2B-parameter text-to-image model trained for $21K that draws directly in pixels with no VAE (Apache-2.0). PedroMarinho ported it to ComfyUI as native nodes: stock KSampler support (euler, simple, 50 steps, cfg 15), a bf16 file (4.4GB) pixel-identical to fp32, an int8 ConvRot version (2.3GB, 1.8x faster), a Qwen3.5-4B text encoder down to 3.2GB, and it runs from 4GB of free VRAM. Workflows include text-to-image, a prompt upsampler, and a refiner (use denoise 0.1-0.2 — P-JiT's noise is 4x stronger than most models). Verified against Linum's code: identical tokens, noise, schedule and guidance.
