I've done some preliminary testing with Z-Image Turbo in the past week.

Thoughts

- It's fast (~3 seconds on my RTX 4090)

- Surprisingly capable of maintaining image integrity even at high resolutions (1536x1024, sometimes 2048x2048)

- The adherence is impressive for a 6B parameter model

Some tests (2 / 4 passed):

Personally I find it works better as a refiner model downstream of Qwen-Image 20b which has significantly better prompt understanding but has an unnatural "smoothness" to its generated images.

If that’s your website please check GitHub link - it has a typo (gitub) and goes to a malicious site

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked the site through several browsers and proxying through a VPN. There's no typo and it properly links to:

Well holy crap - that's been there for about forever! I need a "domain name" spellchecker built into my Gulp CI/CD flow.

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks soontimes and rprwhite!
