ACE-Step 1.5 XL Turbo — BF16 version (converted from FP32)

I converted the ACE-Step 1.5 XL Turbo model from FP32 to BF16.

The original weights were \~18.8 GB in FP32, this version is \~9.97 GB — same quality, lower VRAM usage.

Qwen 2512 is so Underrated, prompt understanding is really great, only Flux 2 Dev is better. I'm using Q4KS with 4-6 steps and it is fast (20-30 sec per gen), almost as fast as Anima model. It just need that LoRA love from the community.
