Z-Image is a powerful and highly efficient image generation model with 6B parameters. Currently there’s only one model with two more to be released:
| Model | Hugging Face |
|---|---|
| Z-Image-Turbo | https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo |
Z-Image-Turbo is 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.
Use ZImageImg2ImgPipeline to transform an existing image based on a text prompt.
