Qwen Image Performance

We have updated Qwen Image and fit a Lightning LoRA to it. Few changes:

  • Generations should run in about 1/2 the time as plain QI

  • As per recommendation from LoRA authors, we have pinned the CFG and Steps in the backend to 1 and 8 respectively.

App

  • Fixed pinch to zoom when the photo viewer is open.

  • Made additional improvements to LaTeX rendering used for mathematical equations.  

  • Fixed copy action not properly including in-painted / edited images.

  • Changed default for new API keys to “inference only” keys vs. “admin” keys.

  • Migrated to Qwen Edit as the default image editing / in-painting model.

  • Updated to latest version of Wallet Connect to improve wallet linking user experience.

  • Updated execution timer to reflect all images when generating multiple variants.

  • Improved rendering when printing text chats.

  • Improved auto model routing to direct anime related prompt to anime optimized models.

Social Feed

  • Updated social feed rendering to improve rendering of non-square aspect ratio photos.

  • Added a Download item to post share menus so users can save post images.

  • Added a “My Posts” tab to the social feed navigation.

API

  • Added an optional strict boolean on tool parameters to enable stricter parameter validation for tool calls.

  • Added an API route to get details on a specific character. API docs have been updated.
