Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Qwen image edit seems to be the best one available right now, but I can't run it. It would take too long on my system, especially at 40 steps.

For general image generation, Flux schnell works great and can generate on my system in about 60 seconds. I was hoping to see Flux kontext-schnell, but it doesn't exist, only kontext-dev.

Did you try the Flux Kontext fp8 variant? It's quite a bit faster than the full fp16 model.

You can grab it here: https://comfyanonymous.github.io/ComfyUI_examples/flux/#flux-kontext-image-editing-model

I tried this again, with a gguf quantized to Q4_K_M. It works quite well and can generate in ~7 minutes! Thanks!

Search for lightning / 8steps / 4steps / turbo LORAs.

Try Chroma.
