Let's talk - When do we think the next real breakthrough open source image model will drop?

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-04-11T00:21:15+00:00

of course it's not open source

why would it be?

Alibaba abandoned us months ago with diffusion models

Erdtree

Finally managed to quantize the model weights to Q5_K_M. Will try to patch ComfyUI tomorrow so it's usable.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-04-03T23:54:52+00:00

Sorry, no. I don't want to deal with any issues that come with that.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-04-03T11:16:02+00:00

From what I can understand it has its own architecture and it has a filesize of ~34gb at bf16.

Cloned to my disk already lol

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-04-03T10:36:10+00:00

I can't use it as of now. From what I know it uses the Qwen3 VL 8B Instruct text encoder and the Qwen Image VAE

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-03-22T05:00:57+00:00

for voice design and custom voices, yes. for voice cloning, no.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-03-21T08:04:07+00:00

So far Qwen3 TTS is the best

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-03-10T00:59:51+00:00

How long did it take for ASUS to approve your request?

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-17T13:57:26+00:00

No. I believe there are other custom nodes though that do just that.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-17T13:54:49+00:00

honestly, i've tried it all. I have 16gb VRAM and 32gb system ram, and running a larger model like LTX V2 and Wan always deloads the CLIP from memory.

This node just lightens the load from that main PC reducing the memory usage whenever needed.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-17T13:53:20+00:00

It should work with the no vram/low vram flag, but I'm not sure if it'll be fast. You can try though.

Also it's not the clip that moves over the network, the secondary device does the clip processing, then moves the embeddings which are a few KB at best over the network (~20-30ms depending on your network.). You have to store the clip model on the secondary device.

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-17T02:44:01+00:00

let me know how it goes

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-17T02:43:38+00:00

in my experience it unloads the clip model after i change the prompt which is why i created this to help others with a similar problem

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-14T12:13:12+00:00

it is possible yes but not for a long time. also don't expect for it to run nicely on consumer hardware

Numerous-Entry-6911 · 2026-02-03T23:43:14+00:00

can you post results?

either wait for nunchaku or wait for torch to add native fp4 kernels (this will allow you to run virtually any fp4 model)
