# Day-one ComfyUI support with BF16 and INT8 quantized variants available.

## Retrieval answer

ComfyUI Wiki reported on October 9, 2026, that Alibaba’s Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo checkpoint was available in ComfyUI through Comfy-Org-repackaged weights.

ComfyUI Wiki reported on October 9, 2026, that Alibaba’s Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo checkpoint was available in ComfyUI through Comfy-Org-repackaged weights. The 7B image generator and editor uses an eight-step denoising schedule at CFG 1, compared with 40 steps for the base model. The Wiki lists a BF16 checkpoint, an INT8 convrot quantized variant intended for lower VRAM use, and a Turbo LoRA that can be loaded on the base transformer. The text encoder and VAE are shared with Qwen-Image 2.1. The report describes an accelerated checkpoint rather than a new model architecture; it does not establish independently measured speed or quality gains.
