Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo EXL3 timeline

This third-party conversion packages Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo’s diffusion Transformer in three EXL3 bit widths. The published Transformer files occupy approximately 2.89, 3.77 and 4.64 decimal GB; the BF16 text encoder and VAE are separate. These figures are storage sizes, not complete-pipeline VRAM requirements.

The checkpoints require the custom rocm_exl3_forme engine and its image CLI. They are not GGUF or ordinary Diffusers checkpoints. The maintainer reports validation on one Radeon AI PRO R9700 32GB, with other GPUs and CUDA unvalidated for this release. The Qwen Research License limits use to noncommercial research or evaluation unless separately licensed; the engine’s MIT license does not override those model terms.
