About

Z-Image is a powerful and highly efficient image generation model family with 6B parameters. Currently there are four variants:

🚀 Z-Image-Turbo – A distilled version of Z-Image that matches or exceeds leading competitors with only 8 NFEs (Number of Function Evaluations). It offers ⚡️sub-second inference latency⚡️ on enterprise-grade H800 GPUs and fits comfortably within 16G VRAM consumer devices . It excels in photorealistic image generation, bilingual text rendering (English & Chinese), and robust instruction adherence.

🎨 Z-Image – The foundation model behind Z-Image-Turbo. Z-Image focuses on high-quality generation , rich aesthetics , strong diversity , and controllability , well-suited for creative generation, fine-tuning , and downstream development. It supports a wide range of artistic styles, effective negative prompting, and high diversity across identities, poses, compositions, and layouts.

🧱 Z-Image-Omni-Base – The versatile foundation model capable of both generation and editing tasks . By releasing this checkpoint, we aim to unlock the full potential for community-driven fine-tuning and custom development, providing the most "raw" and diverse starting point for the open-source community.
