Thanks for sending the file. I was able to reproduce the issue and shared this with my team so we can fix it.

For now, I would recommend switching to the Raw Remove Noise Normal model to avoid the artifacts appearing here.

We will be updating the Raw Remove Noise models to fix these types of artifacts soon.
