Why do authors so rarely put dates in their documents? This article leads with 'is the latest open-weight release..' but there's no context, when was this written? Is it really still the latest?

Hi @tcytra, thanks for the feedback. The point about dates is fair, so here is the timeline for this page:

• Published 2026-09-20 with the Qwen-Image-2.1 guide (PR docs: add Qwen-Image-2.1 ComfyUI workflow guide #1742)
• Refreshed 2026-09-22 to match the current ComfyUI workflow templates, which moved the text encoder to INT8 (PR docs: sync the Qwen-Image-2.1 page with the current workflow templates #1744)

So the page is two days old, and the statement is current: Qwen-Image-2.1 was released by the Qwen team on 2026-09-20 and is the newest open-weight entry in the Qwen-Image series. The weights the page uses are linked under Related Links (Comfy-Org/Qwen-Image-2.1 on Hugging Face, upstream code at QwenLM/Qwen-Image-2.1), and the templates this page documents ship inside ComfyUI, so a newer release would show up there first.

On the missing dates: tutorial pages on docs.comfy.org do not render a published or last-updated date, so the commit history in this repository is the only timeline (the page carries a keep-it-updated reminder instead). Your point that a reader cannot tell how fresh a page is stands, and I have flagged it as a suggestion to surface a last-updated date on tutorial pages.

This just failure of developer of the website. Nothing should be posted without date info on it.

Hi @Dariusz1989, thanks for adding to this. The date concern is fair, so here is exactly where this page stands.

The timeline

• The page went live on 2026-09-20 with the Qwen-Image-2.1 guide (PR docs: add Qwen-Image-2.1 ComfyUI workflow guide #1742).
• It was refreshed on 2026-09-22, when the ComfyUI workflow templates moved the text encoder to INT8 (PR docs: sync the Qwen-Image-2.1 page with the current workflow templates #1744).

Git history is the authoritative record: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/docs/commits/main/tutorials/image/qwen/qwen-image-2-1.mdx

Why you do not see a date on the page
docs.comfy.org is built on Mintlify, and tutorial pages currently render no visible publish or update line. That is the real gap you are pointing at, and one content edit to this page cannot close it. A machine-readable date is exposed for search engines (dateModified in the page's structured data, currently 2026-09-22), but nothing a reader can see. I have passed the request to surface a visible last-updated date on tutorial pages to the docs team.

On the substance
The statement itself is not stale. Qwen-Image-2.1 was released by the Qwen team on 2026-09-20 and is still the newest open-weight entry in the Qwen-Image series (Qwen-Image 3 exists, but as a hosted partner-node model rather than open weights). So "is the latest open-weight release" holds as of the page's last refresh, and the page will be updated again whenever ComfyUI ships new templates for this model.
