Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Repo dates: Qwen-Image 2025-08-04, Qwen-Image-Edit 2025-08-18, Edit-2509 2025-09-22, Layered 2025-12-19, Edit-2511 2025-12-23, Qwen-Image-2512 2025-12-31; Qwen-Image-2.0 announced 2026-02-10 and the page does not say whether weights are released. · source: https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Image
- [upstream_claim] README: Diffusers day-0 support, ComfyUI native support since 2025-08-05; Diffusers LoRA/fine-tuning support described as in development; DiffSynth-Studio cited for inference within 4GB VRAM via layer-by-layer offload and for LoRA/full training. · source: https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Image
- [upstream_claim] Hugging Face model card: Apache 2.0, 20B parameters, BF16 safetensors, strong text rendering especially Chinese. · source: https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen-Image
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
