HexAnima 1.4.0

HexAnima 1.4.0

Qwen-Image 2.1 Turbo support (Qwen team, 4-step Lightning adapter): legible text in pictures, long prompts, and editing a photo by a prompt ("make the sky a sunset"). Text encoder (Qwen3-VL-8B), vision tower, 20B transformer and VAE run on the NPU; about 40 s for 512x768 and 40-70 s for an edit. Non-commercial use only (Qwen Research License, "Built with Qwen"). The ~14.9 GB pack is now published on Hugging Face: open the model manager and download "Qwen-Image 2.1 Turbo" (it needs this version, 1.4.0 or newer; older versions cannot run it). Examples are in the README.

For 8 GB phones (issue #1): new low-memory mode for the Anima models (Settings; on by default below ~9.5 GB of RAM). The DiT blocks are streamed from storage through two buffers instead of being pinned in RAM: about 2.5 GB less RAM for the 2.9B models, about +1 s per 512x768 picture. Not yet tested on a real 8 GB phone, feedback welcome.

MOSS-Image: removed the faint 4-pixel lattice (dotted/grid noise in dark fur, sand, hair) that the 4-step adapter leaves; on the reported seed its strength in the fur dropped about 15x. The decoder itself was checked against the CPU and is exact, so the fix is a small filter after decoding (+0.4-1 s).

Also:

• Built-in picture viewer: tap a picture (History or the main screen) to open it full screen; swipe left/right between pictures, pinch / double-tap to zoom, same actions as under a fresh picture (download, share, favourite, reuse settings, trash).
• The RAM strip now also shows how much the app itself holds (its processes and the pinned model weights), e.g. "app 1.8 GB".
• Fixed coloured dots at the seams of the Qwen-Image decoder tiles.
• The time estimate for photo editing is closer to reality; the new texts are translated into all languages of the app; THIRD_PARTY / licenses list the Qwen components. Sources of the Qwen-Image conversion are in qwen/.

Install over 1.3.0: models, history and settings stay. Check the file with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt.
