Alibaba Qwen Releases Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, an 8-Step 7B Image Model
Alibaba’s Qwen team released Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, a 7B image model that generates images in eight steps.
Alibaba’s Qwen team released Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, an accelerated open-weight checkpoint of Qwen-Image-2.1. It keeps the same 7B architecture but generates and edits images in 8 denoising steps rather than the base model’s 40-step default, about five times fewer steps. A hosted API is also available for developers who do not run the checkpoint locally.
