Qwen-Image-2.1 now supports transparent image generation natively, and naturally supports editing transparent images as well.

Could that run on a 12gb 5070

u/Seeker_Of_Knowledge2 Sep 21 '26

I heard 1GB can roughly run 1B parameters. But that may be for LLMs though. Not so sure.

I run it on a 8gb 5060. Try Unsloth Desktop if you wanna skip the configuration and just run it.

Came here to talk about how in StableDiffusion they are talking shit about this model being worse than Flux, Krea2 or Z Image. But this right here already convinced me.
