Alibaba Qwen Image 2.1

Alibaba Qwen's open 7B image model, running fully offline on your own machine. It generates from a prompt and edits images you attach, renders long passages of text inside the image from a far smaller model than the 20B original, and needs no API key or network once the weights are downloaded. Released under the Qwen Research License, which covers research and evaluation use only.

Alibaba's Qwen Image 2.1 is an open-weight image-generation model. It generates images from a text prompt. It runs entirely on your own hardware through GGML: no API key and no per-use fees.
