Kokon 0.10: the Qwen-Image 2.1 text encoder now writes your prompts too (no second model), plus your own LoRAs (beta)

A week ago I posted Kokon here: a no-settings desktop photo editor for Qwen-Image 2.1.

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • Type a short idea, in any language, and Kokon writes a detailed prompt from it before making the image.
  • The prompt is written by Qwen3-VL 8B, the text encoder Qwen-Image 2.1 already loads.
  • Load a Qwen-Image 2.1 LoRA in Settings, set its strength and trigger words, then turn it on per project with one click, up to 3 at once.
  • I tested the popular 2.1 LoRAs on the Turbo model Kokon runs, and today they don't beat what Turbo does with a good prompt.
