Lens GGUF

GGUF quantizations of the Lens diffusion transformer from microsoft/Lens, prepared for use with stable-diffusion.cpp.

These files contain only the diffusion model weights. For inference you also need:

• a GPT-OSS-20B text encoder GGUF, for example unsloth/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF
• the FLUX.2 VAE, for example from black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev

Usage

Example with stable-diffusion.cpp:

./build/bin/sd-cli \
  --diffusion-model lens-q4_K.gguf \
  --llm /path/to/gpt-oss-20b-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf \
  --vae /path/to/flux2_ae.safetensors \
  --vae-format flux2 \
  --cfg-scale 5.0 \
  --diffusion-fa \
  -W 1024 \
  -H 1024 \
  -p "A crystal dragon soaring through an aurora borealis sky, its entire body made of transparent faceted crystal refracting the green and purple aurora light into rainbow spectra, ice particles trailing from its wings, high fantasy digital art"

If you keep the same folder structure as stable-diffusion.cpp examples, a local command can look like:

./build/bin/sd-cli \
  --diffusion-model models/Lens/lens-q4_K.gguf \
  --llm models/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF/gpt-oss-20b-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf \
  --vae models/vae/diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors \
  --vae-format flux2 \
  --cfg-scale 5.0 \
  --diffusion-fa \
  -W 1024 \
  -H 1024 \
  -p "A crystal dragon soaring through an aurora borealis sky"

The base Lens model is not the distilled Turbo variant, so the example uses the default stable-diffusion.cpp step count instead of the 4-step Turbo setting.

Quantization Notes

The GGUF files were produced from the Lens diffusion transformer weights using stable-diffusion.cpp convert mode:

./build/bin/sd-cli \
  -M convert \
  -m models/Lens/lens_bf16.safetensors \
  -o models/Lens/lens-q4_K.gguf \
  --type q4_K

The original sharded safetensors transformer was first merged into a single safetensors file before conversion.

No Q2 quantization is provided. In practice, Q2 is an extreme low-memory option and is more likely to noticeably degrade image quality. For most use cases, start with q4_K, q5_K, or q6_K; use q8_0 or f16 when quality is more important than size.
