# QuantFunc
# Qwen-Image-Series
Pre-quantized **Qwen-Image-2512** text-to-image model series by [QuantFunc](https://github.com/user/quantfunc), with Lighting backend inference support.
## Overview
Qwen-Image-2512 is a text-to-image diffusion model distilled from Alibaba Qwen team's image generation model.
With the latest QuantFunc ComfyUI plugin, inference achieves **2x–11x speedup** over mainstream frameworks.
## Hardware Requirements
- Supports NVIDIA RTX 30 series and above
- RTX 20 series does not support BF16, which causes significant precision loss in Qwen series model quantization scenarios. Therefore, the 20 series currently only supports Z-Image models.
## Compatibility
- The base models in this repository are compatible with **any version** of Qwen-Image transformer weights
- The QuantFunc code plugin and ComfyUI plugin are **100% compatible** with previous versions of Qwen-Image models

## Model Variants
| Variant | base-model | transformer | Total Size | Target GPU |
|---------|-----------|-------------|------------|------------|
| **50x-above** | `qwen-image-series-50x-above-base-model` | `qwen-image-2512-50x-above-lighting-4steps.safetensors` | ~14GB | RTX 50 series and above |
| **50x-below** | `qwen-image-series-50x-below-base-model` | `qwen-image-2512-50x-below-lighting-4steps.safetensors` | ~14GB | RTX 30/40 series |
- **50x-above**: Optimized for RTX 50 series (Blackwell) and above
- **50x-below**: Optimized for RTX 30/40 series
- **4steps**: Distilled accelerated version — only 4 steps needed to generate images
> The base-model and transformer must use the **same variant** (both above or both below).
## Quick Start
### Download
```bash
pip install modelscope
```
```python
from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('QuantFunc/Qwen-Image-Series')
```
### Inference
```bash
# RTX 50 series
quantfunc \
--model-dir Qwen-Image-Series/qwen-image-series-50x-above-base-model \
--transformer Qwen-Image-Series/transformer/qwen-image-2512-50x-above-lighting-4steps.safetensors \
--auto-optimize --model-backend lighting \
--prompt "a beautiful sunset over the ocean with dramatic clouds" \
--output output.png --steps 4
# RTX 30/40 series
quantfunc \
--model-dir Qwen-Image-Series/qwen-image-series-50x-below-base-model \
--transformer Qwen-Image-Series/transformer/qwen-image-2512-50x-below-lighting-4steps.safetensors \
--auto-optimize --model-backend lighting \
--prompt "a beautiful sunset over the ocean with dramatic clouds" \
--output output.png --steps 4
```
`--auto-optimize` automatically configures VRAM management, attention backend, and offload strategies based on your GPU.
## SVDQ && Lighting Backend
This repository provides **Lighting** backend models. Differences between the two backends:
| Feature | Lighting | SVDQ |
|---------|----------|------|
| **Quantization** | Per-layer mixed precision (FP4/INT4/FP8/INT8) | Nunchaku-based holistic pre-quantization |
| **LoRA Integration** | Real-time quantization — build a custom model in 5 minutes with zero speed loss, integrating any number of LoRAs | Runtime low-rank pathway |
| **Ecosystem** | QuantFunc native | Compatible with the widely-adopted Nunchaku ecosystem, enhanced with Rotation quantization and Auto Rank dynamic rank optimization |
| **Flexibility** | Per-layer/sub-layer precision control | Precision fixed at export time |
| **Use Cases** | Rapid personal model customization, batch LoRA integration | Leverage Nunchaku ecosystem, runtime dynamic LoRA |
## Pre-quantized Modulation Weights (prequant/)
The `prequant/` directory contains **pre-quantized modulation weights** extracted from SVDQ models. Use them with the Lighting backend for high-quality modulation without runtime quantization overhead.
```bash
# From FP16 with mod weights (first run quantizes on-the-fly)
quantfunc \
--model-dir Qwen-Image-Series/qwen-image-series-50x-above-base-model \
--model-backend lighting \
--precision-config Qwen-Image-Series/precision-config/50x-above-fp4-sample.json \
--mod-weights Qwen-Image-Series/prequant/qwen-image-2512-50x-above.safetensors \
--rotation-block-size 256 \
--prompt "a beautiful sunset" --steps 4 --auto-optimize
```
Alternatively, use the **pre-quantized Lighting transformer** for instant loading (no runtime quantization):
```bash
quantfunc \
--model-dir Qwen-Image-Series/qwen-image-series-50x-above-base-model \
--transformer Qwen-Image-Series/transformer/qwen-image-2512-50x-above-lighting-4steps-prequant.safetensors \
--model-backend lighting \
--prompt "a beautiful sunset" --steps 4 --auto-optimize
```
## Precision Config (precision-config/)
Sample per-layer precision configurations for the Lighting backend:
| File | Target GPU | Precision |
|------|-----------|-----------|
| `50x-above-fp4-sample.json` | RTX 50+ | FP4 attention + AF8WF4 MLP fc2 + INT8 modulation |
| `50x-below-int4-sample.json` | RTX 30/40 | INT4 all layers + INT8 modulation |
