v3.5.0 — Turbo: half the wall clock, better faces

Turbo for Hailuo H3

A 4-step distillation LoRA renders in 3 forwards instead of 6 — roughly 0.6× the wall clock of the 9-step default at every tier. In matched face crops it comes out sharper at the mouth and less glossy than the full-step render it replaces, so this is not the usual speed-for-quality trade.

• One toggle in the new Speed row on the H3 strip. Off by default; the non-Turbo path is byte-identical to before (verified: --lora …:0 renders sha256-identical to no adapter at all).
• The toggle only appears when the adapter is actually installed and your H3 pack supports it — one click downloads ~0.8 GB.
• Adapter by @larryvrh (Apache-2.0). Weights are never bundled; they're fetched from Hugging Face on demand.

Draft → Finish

Render the ~3-minute Draft tier to check your shot, then one click re-queues the identical job — same seed, same prompt, same first frame — at a delivery tier. The draft tier now also says what it's for: composition, motion and dialogue timing. Faces and fine detail resolve at the higher tiers.

Notes

• Turbo is an early distill from an in-progress training run upstream. It's a speed mode, not a replacement for the full-step path.
• VERSION had drifted at 3.4.1 through the v3.4.2 release; corrected.

Update via Pinokio. Existing H3 installs need one re-clone of the H3 pack to pick up the runner's adapter support.

Thanks to drbaph for the pointer that led to the better EMA checkpoint, and @ivanfioravanti for the ongoing H3 testing.
