Z-Image-Turbo - Oxen.ai

Try Z-Image-Turbo in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: z-image-turbo Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo is an image generation model that excels in fast text-to-image generation with photorealistic outputs and accurate bilingual (English & Chinese) text rendering, while running efficiently on 16 GB VRAM devices. Some other noteworthy features of Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo include strong instruction adherence for prompt-following and an 8-step inference design that enables sub-second latency on data-center GPUs.

Metric	Value
Parameter Count	6 billion
Mixture of Experts	No
Context Length	Unknown
Multilingual	Yes
Quantized*	Yes
Precision*	Unknown

*Quantization is specific to the inference provider and the model may be offered with different quantization levels by other providers.

Request parameters

Required parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`prompt`	`string`	—	Prompt for generated image

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`num_inference_steps`	`integer`	`8`	Number of denoising steps. Recommended range is 28-50, and lower number of steps produce lower quality outputs, faster. Range: 1 – 50.
`seed`	`integer`	—	Random seed. Set for reproducible generation
`output_format`	`string`	`"webp"`	Format of the output images One of: webp, jpg, png.
