Maestro v1.6.1 - Update to make MiniMax H3 Turbo Mode easier to use.
H3 Distilled LoRA (6-step example below).
~5x speed-up. Results a little rough, but it's still early.
Audience: Local Maestro users who want shorter iteration cycles.
Hardware: Depends on Maestro and the selected H3 weights.
Prerequisites
- A working Maestro H3 workflow
- A Turbo or distilled LoRA
- A fixed baseline input
Steps
- Save a native-mode baseline first.
- Switch to six-step Turbo without changing other variables.
- Use Turbo for shot selection and compare higher steps for important finals.
Caveats
- The source explicitly notes rougher results; faster does not mean equivalent quality.
