I've set it up on my local machine just now, as my first local image diffuser. I can confirm it's very easy.

I tried stable-diffusion.cpp, following its compile guide here[0], and its Qwen Image-2.1 specific instructions here[1]. It works out of the box. I made a test pelican[2]. It took 3 minutes on a CPU.

Thank you! Can you please check how much RAM does it consume (and require)?

This is what the runtime reports, at Q8:

    total params memory size = 15645.19MB (VRAM 15645.19MB, RAM 0.00MB):
    text_encoders 7669.77MB(VRAM),
    diffusion_model 7331.05MB(VRAM),
    vae 644.38MB(VRAM),
    controlnet 0.00MB(N/A),
    extensions 0.00MB(N/A)

		That suggests that 16GB RAM will not be enough. In fact, like it appears in the reports above, it is "7b" as in > 7B parameters in its visual generation component It seems they calibrated the size to fill a 16GB VRAM near the limit. RAM requirements will vary.
