Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 still lacks Grok-like ease
A LocalLLaMA user says simple edit requests in ComfyUI with Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 and Flux still produce poor results compared with Grok or Gemini. The core question is whether local image editing can match that one-shot, revision-friendly workflow without heavy prompting, LoRAs, or extra setup.
// ANALYSIS
The models can already do useful image editing, but the real gap is product UX, not just raw model capability. Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 improves consistency and even folds in some community LoRA behavior, yet ComfyUI still exposes too much of the machinery for the “upload and say change the shoes” workflow.
- –A 4090 is enough for local inference; the bottleneck is instruction-following quality and workflow design, not GPU class alone.
- –Simple prompts like “remove background” often need hidden structure behind the scenes, which cloud apps provide through prompt expansion, task routing, and tighter edit presets.
- –Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 is aimed at iterative editing, but it still benefits from structured prompts, preset nodes, and edit-specific front ends.
- –If the goal is Grok/Gemini-like convenience, prebuilt wrappers around models such as FLUX.1 Kontext or Qwen are closer than raw ComfyUI graphs.
