Viggle releases Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo with fewer steps

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Viggle has released version 0.3 of its Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo model, a distilled version of Qwen/Qwen-Image-2.1. This update offers a few-step distillation process, reducing image generation steps from 40 to 6 or 9, with no classifier-free guidance. The 6-step version provides less grain and cleaner surfaces compared to previous iterations, while a new 9-step mode offers finer detail and improved small-text accuracy at the cost of slightly longer generation times. AI

IMPACT Offers faster image generation with fewer steps, potentially improving efficiency for users of Qwen-Image-2.1.
