# Qwen-Image-Edit-e4m3

FP8 (e4m3) dynamically-quantized [Qwen-Image-Edit](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit),
saved as a complete `QwenImageEditPipeline`.

## What was changed

All 60 blocks of the `QwenImageTransformer2DModel` are quantized to
`e4m3_e4m3_dynamic` — `float8_e4m3fn` weights with dynamically scaled
`float8_e4m3fn` activations. The Qwen2.5-VL text encoder, the processor, the
VAE and the transformer's non-block tensors are untouched and stay in bf16. The
transformer drops from ~40.9 GB to ~20.5 GB.

Quantization was done with WaveSpeed's `xelerate.ao.quantize`. Weights are
stored as pickled `.bin` shards, so loading requires `use_safetensors=False`.
FP8 matmul needs Hopper (H100/H200) or newer to actually be faster than bf16.

## Usage

```python
import torch
from diffusers import QwenImageEditPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image

pipe = QwenImageEditPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "wavespeed/Qwen-Image-Edit-e4m3",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    use_safetensors=False,
).to("cuda")

image = load_image("input.png")
out = pipe(image=image, prompt="make it a winter scene").images[0]
```
