Preliminary Testing with Z-Image Turbo

Playing around with the distilled version of Z-Image optimized for consumer hardware, showcasing its capabilities and limitations.

Overview

Z-Image-Turbo is a distilled version of Z-Image that easily fits into 16GB consumer cards. Github for those who would like to take it for a test-drive themselves.

Conclusion

Z-Image Turbo combines the speed of SDXL Turbo with impressive prompt adherency that in some ways can approach much heavier models such as Flux (but without the onerous licensing conditions from BFL). We’re looking forward to the full, non-distilled version, which will hopefully offer even better prompt understanding.
