---

Introduction

We introduce LongCat-Image-Edit-Turbo, the distilled version of LongCat-Image-Edit. It achieves high-quality image editing with only 8 NFEs (Number of Function Evaluations) , offering extremely low inference latency.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers

Run Image Editing

📝 Special Handling for Text Rendering

For both Text-to-Image and Image Editing tasks involving text generation, you must enclose the target text within single or double quotation marks (both English '...' / "..." and Chinese ‘...’ / “...” styles are supported).

Reasoning: The model utilizes a specialized character-level encoding strategy specifically for quoted content. Failure to use explicit quotation marks prevents this mechanism from triggering, which will severely compromise the text rendering capability.
