feat: Qwen Image Edit 2511 — full pipeline with LoRA, GGUF, quantization, and UI by lstein · Pull Request #131 · lstein/InvokeAI

lstein · 2026-03-24T22:04:32Z

Summary

Complete implementation of the Qwen Image Edit 2511 pipeline for InvokeAI, including text-to-image generation, image editing with reference images, LoRA support (including Lightning distillation), GGUF quantized transformers, and BitsAndBytes encoder quantization.

Key Features

Text-to-image and image editing via Qwen Image Edit 2511 model
GGUF quantized transformer support with separate Diffusers model as component source for VAE/text encoder
LoRA support including Lightning distillation LoRAs for fast 4/8-step generation
BitsAndBytes encoder quantization (int8/nf4) to reduce VRAM usage for the Qwen2.5-VL text encoder
Shift override for Lightning LoRA sigma schedules
Starter models: full Diffusers model, 4 GGUF quantization levels, 2 Lightning LoRAs, and a bundle
Frontend UI: Advanced panel with component source selector, encoder quantization dropdown, shift override control; scheduler hidden for this model type

Backend Changes

Denoise: FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler integration, 2x2 patch packing/unpacking, reference latent concatenation along sequence dim, zero_cond_t modulation, LoRA application via LayerPatcher with sidecar patching for GGUF, shift override for Lightning
Text encoder: Edit-specific system prompt template, vision token expansion per reference image, hidden state extraction with token trimming, attention mask output, BitsAndBytes quantization support
VAE encode/decode: AutoencoderKLQwenImage with per-channel latents_mean/latents_std normalization, 5D frame dimension, pixel-space resize before encoding
Model loader: Component source field for GGUF models to provide VAE + text encoder from a separate Diffusers model
LoRA: Loader invocations (single + collection), config detection, conversion utils, prefix constants, registered in factory discriminated union
GGUF loader fixes: Correct base class (ModelLoader), zero_cond_t=True, correct in_channels
Starter models: Lightning LoRAs (4-step, 8-step bf16), model bundle
transformers requirement: Downgraded back to >=4.56.0 (the video processor fallback imports already handle this)

Frontend Changes

Advanced settings: Component source selector (Diffusers model for GGUF), encoder quantization dropdown (None/int8/nf4), shift override checkbox+slider
Generation settings: Scheduler hidden for Qwen Image Edit
Graph builder: LoRA wiring via collection loader, reference image VAE encoding with pixel-space resize, shift/quantization passthrough
State management: qwenImageEditComponentSource, qwenImageEditQuantization, qwenImageEditShift in params slice with persistence and model-switch cleanup

Functional Testing Guide

1. Text-to-Image Generation (Basic)

Install the "Qwen Image Edit 2511" Diffusers model from Starter Models
Select it as the main model
Enter a prompt (e.g., "Persian cat sitting on a red velvet cushion")
Set Steps=30, CFG=4
Generate — should produce a coherent image matching the prompt

2. GGUF Quantized Transformer

Install a GGUF variant (e.g., Q4_K_M) from Starter Models
Also install the full Diffusers model (needed as Component Source)
Select the GGUF model as the main model
In Advanced settings, set "Component Source (Diffusers)" to the full Diffusers model
Generate with the same prompt — quality should be close to the full model

3. BitsAndBytes Encoder Quantization

With the full Diffusers model selected, open Advanced settings
Set "Encoder Quantization" to "4-bit (nf4)"
Generate — should produce similar quality with reduced VRAM for the text encoder
Test "8-bit (int8)" as well

4. LoRA Support

Install "Qwen Image Edit Lightning (4-step, bf16)" from Starter Models
Enable the LoRA in the LoRA panel with weight=1.0
Set Steps=4, CFG=1
In Advanced, check "Shift Override" and set to 3.0
Generate — should produce a coherent image in 4 steps (~10x faster)
Test with "8-step" variant (Steps=8, CFG=1, Shift=3)

5. Image Editing with Reference Image

Add a Qwen Image Edit reference image in the reference images panel
Set the canvas dimensions to match the reference image's aspect ratio
Enter an edit prompt (e.g., "Change the background to a beach scene")
Generate with Steps=30, CFG=1 (matching the diffusers pipeline default)
The output should preserve the reference image's content while applying the edit
Note: Edit quality varies by seed and prompt complexity — try different seeds if results are unsatisfactory

6. Multiple Reference Images

Add 2+ reference images
All images are sent to the text encoder for vision-language conditioning
The first reference image is VAE-encoded as spatial conditioning for the transformer

7. Model Switching Cleanup

Switch from Qwen Image Edit to another model type (e.g., FLUX)
The component source, quantization, and shift settings should be cleared automatically
Switch back — settings should need to be re-selected

[2026-03-24 23:25:33,875]::[InvokeAI]::ERROR --> Error while invoking session 58d5a101-92...

The crash was caused by Qwen2VLProcessor(tokenizer=tokenizer, image_processor=None) in the fallback branch. The tokenizer submodel for this model is a Qwen2_5_VLProcessor (Qwen2.5-VL class), not Qwen2VLProcessor, so the isinstance check was failing and hitting the broken fallback.

Fixed in 666fdfa by replacing the broken isinstance check + manual constructor with AutoProcessor.from_pretrained() using the tokenizer submodel path — the same pattern used in llava_onevision_vllm.py. This correctly loads whichever processor class the model uses with all components (image_processor, tokenizer, video_processor) properly initialized.

The warning came from invokeai/app/invocations/fields.py:744 — InputField() doesn't support default_factory and logs a warning when it receives one. The reference_images field in qwen_image_edit_text_encoder.py was using default_factory=list instead of default=[] (which is the pattern used everywhere else in the codebase). Fixed in 62aebab.

Fixed in 8bbb06d. The tokenizer subdirectory contains tokenizer/preprocessor files but no config.json with model_type, which AutoProcessor requires to identify the processor class via AutoConfig. Switched to Qwen2_5_VLProcessor.from_pretrained directly — it loads from the tokenizer subdirectory without needing that type-detection step.

@copilot I'm still getting tokenizer errors:

...

Fixed in ab7e1ec. The tokenizer/ subdirectory only holds tokenizer files — preprocessor_config.json lives at the model root. Removed the / "tokenizer" suffix so Qwen2_5_VLProcessor.from_pretrained is now called on the root directory. It finds preprocessor_config.json (image processor) at the root and tokenizer files inside tokenizer/ automatically, while still skipping the model_type detection that AutoProcessor requires.

The next error involves the image processor. Note that I have not loaded any reference images because the user interface is not letting me add reference images for this model type. Could you modify the UI to allow reference images to be uploaded? Please see the FLUX2 model support for an example of the way to do this.
Also, please handle the scenario in which the user invokes the model without providing any reference images; let's see if the model can perform txt2image without a reference image to work on.

Fixed in dec4a46.

Processor loading: Replaced Qwen2_5_VLProcessor.from_pretrained(root_dir) with a component-based approach that searches for preprocessor_config.json in three locations (tokenizer/, model root, image_processor/) and falls back to Qwen2_5_VLImageProcessor() defaults if not found. This works regardless of how the model was downloaded.

Reference images UI: Added qwen_image_edit_reference_image support following the FLUX2 pattern — clicking "Add Reference Image" when a Qwen model is selected now shows a reference image slot with just an image picker (no model selector needed). Reference images are collected and wired into the text encoder's reference_images input in the graph.

txt2img without reference images: No warning or block when no reference images are set — the text encoder works with an empty list, so txt2img works fine.

Adds full support for the Qwen Image Edit 2511 model architecture, including both the diffusers version (Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit-2511) and GGUF quantized versions (unsloth/Qwen-Image-Edit-2511-GGUF). Backend changes: - Add QwenImageEdit base model type to taxonomy - Add diffusers and GGUF model config classes with detection logic - Add model loader for diffusers and GGUF formats - Add 5 invocation nodes: model loader, text/vision encoder, denoise, image-to-latents, latents-to-image - Add QwenVLEncoderField for Qwen2.5-VL vision-language encoder - Add QwenImageEditConditioningInfo and conditioning field - Add generation modes and step callback support - Add 5 starter models (full diffusers + Q2_K, Q4_K_M, Q6_K, Q8_0 GGUF) Frontend changes: - Add graph builder for linear UI generation - Register in canvas and generate enqueue hooks - Update type definitions, optimal dimensions, grid sizes - Add readiness validation, model picker grouping, clip skip config - Regenerate OpenAPI schema Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> fix: use AutoProcessor.from_pretrained to load Qwen VL processor correctly Co-authored-by: lstein <111189+lstein@users.noreply.github.com> Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/lstein/InvokeAI/sessions/4d4417be-0f61-4faa-a21c-16e9ce81fec7 chore: bump diffusers==0.37.1 Co-authored-by: lstein <111189+lstein@users.noreply.github.com> Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/lstein/InvokeAI/sessions/38a76809-d9a3-40f1-b5b3-fb56342e8e90 fix: handle multiple reference images feature: add text encoder selection to advanced section for Qwen Image Edit feat: complete Qwen Image Edit pipeline with LoRA, GGUF, quantization, and UI support Major additions: - LoRA support: loader invocation, config detection, conversion utils, prefix constants, and LayerPatcher integration in denoise with sidecar patching for GGUF models - Lightning LoRA: starter models (4-step and 8-step bf16), shift override parameter for the distilled sigma schedule - GGUF fixes: correct base class (ModelLoader), zero_cond_t=True, correct in_channels (no /4 division) - Denoise: use FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler directly, proper CFG gating (skip negative when cfg<=1), reference latent pixel-space resize - I2L: resize reference image to generation dimensions before VAE encoding - Graph builder: wire LoRAs via collection loader, VAE-encode reference image as latents for spatial conditioning, pass shift/quantization params - Frontend: shift override (checkbox+slider), LoRA graph wiring, scheduler hidden for Qwen Image Edit, model switching cleanup - Starter model bundle for Qwen Image Edit - LoRA config registered in discriminated union (factory.py) - Downgrade transformers requirement back to >=4.56.0 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- GGUF loader: handle zero_cond_t absence in diffusers 0.36, try dtype before torch_dtype for forward compat - Denoise: load scheduler config from disk with GGUF fallback, inline calculate_shift to avoid pipeline import, remove deprecated txt_seq_lens - Text encoder: resize reference images to ~512x512 before VL encoding to prevent vision tokens from overwhelming the text prompt - Picker badges: wrap to next line instead of truncating labels Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Remove module-level cache for quantized encoders — load fresh each invocation and free VRAM via cleanup callback (gc + empty_cache) - Suppress harmless BnB MatMul8bitLt bfloat16→float16 cast warning Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Rename the base model type from "qwen-image-edit" to "qwen-image" to reflect that the Qwen Image family includes both txt2img and image editing models. The edit models are a specific use case within the broader Qwen Image architecture. - BaseModelType.QwenImageEdit -> BaseModelType.QwenImage ("qwen-image") - All Python files, classes, variables, and invocation names renamed - All TypeScript/React components, selectors, and state fields renamed - Frontend display: "Qwen Image" in model picker, "QwenImg" badge - Starter model bundle: "Qwen Image" - File renames: qwen_image_edit_* -> qwen_image_* Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- QwenImageVariantType enum: Generate (txt2img) and Edit (image editing) - Diffusers models: auto-detect variant from model_index.json pipeline class (QwenImagePipeline → Generate, QwenImageEditPlusPipeline → Edit) - GGUF models: default to Generate (can't detect from state dict) - Frontend: hide reference image panel when a Generate variant is selected - Variant display names: "Qwen Image" / "Qwen Image Edit" - ModelRecordChanges: include QwenImageVariantType in variant union Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The variant field with a default value was appended to the discriminator tag (e.g. main.gguf_quantized.qwen-image.generate), breaking model detection for GGUF and Diffusers models. Making variant optional with default=None restores the correct tags (main.gguf_quantized.qwen-image). The variant is still set during Diffusers model probing via _get_qwen_image_variant() and can be manually set for GGUF models. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…URLs The global rename sed changed 'qwen-image-edit-2511' to 'qwen-image-2511' inside the HuggingFace URLs, but the actual files on HF still have 'edit' in their names. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add optional variant field to StarterModelWithoutDependencies - Tag all Qwen Image Edit starter models (Diffusers + GGUF) with variant=QwenImageVariantType.Edit - Frontend passes variant through to the install endpoint config so GGUF edit models get the correct variant set on install Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The txt2img model doesn't use zero_cond_t — setting it causes the transformer to double the timestep batch and create modulation indices for non-existent reference patches, producing noise output. Now checks the config variant before enabling it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Flux PEFT LoRAs use transformer.single_transformer_blocks.* keys which contain "transformer_blocks." as a substring, falsely matching the Qwen Image LoRA detection. Add single_transformer_blocks to the Flux exclusion set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add stripped test models for: - Qwen Image Lightning LoRA (transformer_blocks.* keys) - Qwen Image community LoRA (transformer.transformer_blocks.* keys) Both should be detected as base=qwen-image, type=lora, format=lycoris. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
