Z-Image Architecture

What is Z-Image?

Z-Image is an advanced next-generation image generation foundation model. It is designed to deliver exceptionally fast, high-quality, and highly controllable image synthesis using a novel Single-Stream Diffusion Transformer (S3-DiT) architecture.Z-Image integrates all modalities—text, semantic tokens, and VAE image tokens—into one unified sequence, greatly improving parameter efficiency and generation speed.With 6 billion parameters, Z-Image aims to set a new standard in the open-source ecosystem, offering performance comparable to or surpassing larger proprietary models while maintaining much faster inference.

Ultra-Fast Image Generation with Only 8 Steps (Z-Image-Turbo)

A standout feature of Z-Image is its exceptional speed. The Turbo variant requires only 8 NFEs (Number of Function Evaluations) to generate an image—a massive improvement over traditional diffusion models that often require 20–50+ steps. This breakthrough is powered by Decoupled-DMD, a distillation framework that separates CFG Augmentation and Distribution Matching into independent mechanisms. The result is: Sub-second image generation on enterprise GPUs; Real-time or near-real-time performance for consumer hardware; High-quality outputs despite minimal inference steps. This makes Z-Image ideal for interactive applications, creative tools, large-scale batch generation, and real-time user experiences.

Accurate Bilingual Text Rendering (Chinese + English)

Text generation has traditionally been a weak point for image models, especially when handling complex scripts or mixed languages. Z-Image addresses this challenge head-on. The model demonstrates exceptional bilingual text rendering, accurately generating: Chinese characters (including complex structures and strokes); English letters and typography; Mixed Chinese–English text in a single image; Stylized fonts and layout-sensitive compositions. This capability makes Z-Image especially valuable for: Poster creation; Advertising design; Product packaging; Social media graphics; Meme or logo-style text-rich images.

Strong Instruction Following & Enhanced Reasoning Ability

Through a mechanism called Prompt Enhancer, Z-Image is able to interpret prompts not just literally, but semantically and contextually. This gives the model a reasoning-like capability that enables: Better understanding of relationships between objects; More accurate adherence to complex, multi-step instructions; More coherent compositions; Context-aware styling and layout decisions. Rather than simply transforming text into images, Z-Image can infer deeper meanings and generate more intelligent, relevant visual outputs, setting it apart from many earlier diffusion models.

Creative and Precise Image Editing (Z-Image-Edit)

Beyond pure image generation, the Z-Image-Edit variant is optimized for editable workflows. It supports high-quality image-to-image transformations driven entirely by natural language instructions. Capabilities include: Adding or removing objects; Changing artistic style or lighting; Modifying background environments; Adjusting facial expressions, clothing, or composition; Complex bilingual editing commands. The editing model maintains image structure while applying flexible, creative transformations, making it ideal for content creation, design workflows, and consumer apps where intuitive editing is essential.

The Three Variants of Z-Image

The Z-Image project currently offers three distinct variants, each designed for different use cases and levels of performance. Together, they form a flexible ecosystem that supports both high-speed image generation and advanced creative editing.

Z-Image-Turbo represents the pinnacle of efficiency in the Z-Image ecosystem. As the flagship distilled variant, it is engineered to deliver breathtaking photorealistic image quality with exceptionally low latency, requiring only 8 Number of Function Evaluations (NFEs). This ultra-fast performance allows for sub-second image generation on enterprise-grade GPUs and seamless real-time operation on standard 16GB VRAM consumer hardware. Whether you are building interactive AI applications, rapid prototyping tools, or high-volume content generation platforms, Z-Image-Turbo provides the perfect balance of speed and fidelity. Its distilled architecture ensures that users experience the full power of Z-Image without the traditional computational bottlenecks, making high-end AI art generation accessible and practical for everyone.

How to Start Creating with Z-Image

Getting started with Z-Image is simple. Whether you are a developer or an artist, we have a workflow for you.

1

Select Your Z-Image Variant

Begin by identifying the optimal Z-Image model for your creative workflow. For production-grade speed and efficiency, **Z-Image-Turbo** is the industry standard choices, delivering photorealistic results in just 8 inference steps. If your project requires deep customization or research, **Z-Image-Base** offers unrestricted modeling capacity. For specialized post-processing and detailed adjustments, **Z-Image-Edit** is purpose-built to interpret complex editing instructions. All variants are fully open-source and ready for deployment.

2

Local Installation via ComfyUI

For the most flexible and powerful experience, we recommend running Z-Image locally using **ComfyUI**. Simply download the pre-trained model weights (safetensors) and place them into your local directory. Z-Image is highly optimized for consumer hardware, capable of running smoothly on 16GB VRAM GPUs. By integrating with the ComfyUI ecosystem, you gain access to a modular node-based interface that allows for limitless customization of your generation pipeline.

3

Craft Bilingual Prompts

Unleash your creativity without language barriers. Z-Image features a sophisticated dual-language text encoder that natively understands and accurately renders both **English and Chinese** text. Whether you input intricate English descriptions or poetic Chinese phrases, Z-Image interprets your semantic intent with high precision. This unique capability makes it the perfect tool for global content creation, specifically for designs requiring accurate typography in multiple languages.

4

Generate, Iterate, and Refine

Experience the thrill of real-time creation. With Z-Image-Turbo's sub-second latency, you can rapidly iterate through dozens of concepts in the time it takes other models to generate one. Once you have your ideal base image, leverage **Z-Image-Edit** to perfect the details—change backgrounds, adjust lighting, or modify specific elements using natural language commands—ensuring your final piece matches your exact artistic vision down to the pixel.
