⚙️ Use Optimal Settings
The model works best at 1024×1024 resolution with 9 inference steps. These settings are optimized for both quality and speed.
The Technology Behind the Speed
Z-Image-Turbo's impressive performance comes from two key innovations:
Decoupled-DMD (Distribution Matching Distillation)
The base model uses an advanced technique to compress a larger model into a smaller, faster one without losing quality. Think of it as distilling the essence of a powerful AI into a more efficient package.
PrunaAI's Optimization Layer
PrunaAI adds multiple optimization techniques including caching (reusing computations), compilation (optimizing for hardware), and quantization (using efficient number formats). The result is even faster generation while maintaining quality.
Single-Stream Diffusion Transformer
The architecture processes text and image information together efficiently, contributing to both the speed and quality of the final output.
Who Created Z-Image-Turbo?
Z-Image-Turbo is the result of collaboration between two cutting-edge AI organizations:
Tongyi-MAI
Part of Alibaba's AI research division, Tongyi-MAI created the base Z-Image-Turbo model using advanced distillation techniques for fast, high-quality generation.
PrunaAI
PrunaAI specializes in making machine learning models faster and more efficient. Their optimization engine took an already fast model and made it even better.
The model is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, which means you can use it for commercial projects without restrictions.
