Generate high-quality images 5x faster with our new 6-step LoRA
Generating high-quality images doesn't have to mean waiting through dozens of steps. Our new LoRA adapters for Qwen-Image-2.1 cut the process to just six steps, saving 41 to 80 seconds per generation. The upsampled variant even removes the separate prompt-upsampling step entirely, streamlining the pipeline. This distillation approach keeps your workflow unchanged while dramatically reducing diffusion cost.

AI time savings drop sharply as developer friction returns to focus
Only 26% of developers now say AI saves them ten or more hours a week, down from 68% a year ago, according to Atlassian's latest State of Developer Experience report. The friction AI was supposed to eliminate is creeping back, and engineering leaders are spending more time managing AI output than their teams do. The tool isn't the shortcut we hoped for.
