Z-Image Turbo

A 6B-parameter super fast text-to-image model by Tongyi-MAI designed for rapid image generation from text prompts.

Overview

Z-Image Turbo is a text-to-image model with 6 billion parameters developed by Tongyi-MAI, optimized for high-speed image generation. It converts detailed textual prompts into high-quality images across multiple predefined sizes and formats, supporting flexible parameters such as inference steps, seed for repeatability, and image count per request. It also includes optional features like safety checking and prompt expansion to enhance content quality and safety.

Strengths / What it does well

• Generates images rapidly with up to 8 inference steps.
• Supports a variety of image sizes and output formats (PNG, JPEG, WEBP).
• Provides deterministic outputs with seed control.
• Includes options for safety checking to filter NSFW content.
• Allows generation of multiple images per request (up to 4).

Limitations

• Maximum of 8 inference steps, potentially limiting ultra-high fidelity.
• Currently focused solely on text-to-image generation without video or 3D outputs.
• Prompt expansion increases cost and may require user discretion.

Best use cases

• Quick generation of images from detailed textual prompts.
• Use cases requiring multiple image variants with consistent styling.
• Applications needing fast turnaround on visual content creation with some safety filtering.
• Ideal for users looking to produce hyper-realistic or complex scene images efficiently.
