This is a Q8 MFlux version of Qwen-Image-Edit.

MFlux runs the latest state-of-the-art generative image models locally on your Mac in native MLX. MFlux is open source and free.

MFlux versions of Qwen-Image-Edit

Converted with MFlux 0.22.0 on 2026-10-10.

Standard MFlux quantization uses MLX affine quantization (8-bit) across the text encoder, transformer and VAE. The quantization level is stored in the weights, so no --quantize flag is needed.

Usage

Install MFlux

uv tool install --upgrade mflux

Edit an image using Qwen-Image-Edit Q8:

mflux-generate-qwen-edit \
  --model mflux-community/qwen-image-edit-mflux-q8 \

  --image-paths input.png \
  --prompt "A puffin standing on a cliff" \
  --width 1024 \
  --height 1024 \
  --seed 42 \
  --output image.png

The weights are downloaded from this repo on first use. To keep a local copy instead:

hf download mflux-community/qwen-image-edit-mflux-q8 --local-dir ./qwen-image-edit-mflux-q8

then pass --model ./qwen-image-edit-mflux-q8.
