Estimates, not measurements: the weights are the build's file size; one 1024×1024 image needs about 5 GB of working memory (larger images more). diffusers can also place a pipeline's parts on separate cards (device_map) — not estimated here. Counted memory is 92 % of what CUDA reports for the card.

Showcase

Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 Enhances Character Consistency In Qwen-Image-Edit-2511, character consistency has been significantly improved. The model can perform imaginative edits based on an input portrait while preserving the identity and visual characteristics of the subject.

Improved Multi-Person Consistency While Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 already improved consistency for single-subject editing, Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 further enhances consistency in multi-person group photos—enabling high-fidelity fusion of two separate person images into a coherent group shot:

Built-in Support for Community-Created LoRAs Since Qwen-Image-Edit’s release, the community has developed many creative and high-quality LoRAs—greatly expanding its expressive potential. Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 integrates selected popular LoRAs directly into the base model, unlocking their effects without extra tuning.

For example, Lighting Enhancement LoRA Realistic lighting control is now achievable out-of-the-box:

Another example, generating new viewpoints can now be done directly with the base model:

Industrial Design Applications

We’ve paid special attention to practical engineering scenarios—for instance, batch industrial product design:

…and material replacement for industrial components:

Enhanced Geometric Reasoning Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 introduces stronger geometric reasoning capability—e.g., directly generating auxiliary construction lines for design or annotation purposes:


🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

pip install torch diffusers safetensors

2. Load the FP8 Model

import torch
from diffusers import QwenImageEditPipeline  # or your compatible pipeline

model_path = "./Qwen-Image-Edit-2511-FP8"

pipe = QwenImageEditPipeline.from_pretrained(
    model_path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)

pipe.to("cuda")

# Example usage
# outputs = pipe(image=input_image, prompt="Your edit prompt")

Running it yourself

Run it on a rented GPU

Rent a machine by the hour — ComfyUI is installed on it. Open ComfyUI through the tunnel, then Templates → Qwen Image Edit 2511 Int8: Image Edit, and choose this model's file in its model loader.

# on your rented machine (the ssh line is on its page in the console)
# get REPO FILE FOLDER: one file into /workspace/models/FOLDER, where ComfyUI loads it from
get() { hf download "$1" "$2" --local-dir /workspace/hf-files && mkdir -p "/workspace/models/$3" && mv "/workspace/hf-files/$2" "/workspace/models/$3/$4"; }
