Hands-on RunPod log for Phr00t AIO Qwen-Image-Edit NSFW v18.1 (28GB). RTX 4090 24GB froze loading and --lowvram didn't help; the FP8 split version needed separate VAE/text encoder. RTX 5090 32GB worked end-to-end. Used it for 3-view reference sheets for a 3D model base mesh.
Setup notes for Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 on RunPod's RTX 4090 ($0.34/hr) using the ComfyUI template. Includes the fal Multiple-Angles LoRA (4 elevations × 8 azimuths × 3 distances) and a per-image cost breakdown that ends up cheaper than buying a 4090.
Introducing a Mac mini M4 Pro to build an in-house RAG system. A plan for setting up a LoRA training environment during downtime while waiting for specs to be finalized.
