No, it's probably their rope implementation. They had a similar problem with the old qwen image but to be sure it needs some digging.

It's right there in the hugging face link?
replylatents go from 16ch @ 8x compression to 64ch @ 16x, so roughly the same total latent budget but much more channel heavy. It’s also deeper/wider, and the old 2x2 transformer patching is gone.
On some images it still produces artifacts but can't say if it's the transformer or the VAE yet.
