Qwen-Image

Yes, we know! Yet another Qwen model featured prominently in this series. But they are impossible to ignore, release model after model with (OSI-approved) licenses, and the models are good! For image generation, FLUX.1 dev racks up millions of downloads despite its non-commercial license. Qwen-Image uses Apache 2.0 and the outputs are really good. However, it is quite a chonky model, clocking in at 20B params (Flux.1 dev uses 13B params), which might hinder local adoption. However, there are first attempts at distillation to run it quicker.
