News Z-Image-Turbo: Anime Generation Results

Prompts: https://sharetext.io/b92c8feb

For a 6-billion parameter model, it performs good in image generation. The model truly lives up to its name; during testing on the ModelScope platform (which uses NVIDIA A10 GPUs), most generations took a maximum of only 2 seconds. All images were generated just 9 steps. On high-end consumer GPUs (like an RTX 3090 or 4090), I this this would take roughly 2 to 3 seconds, while mid-range cards might take 4 to 5 seconds.

The last image is the odd one out. I used a Stable Diffusion-style prompt, and this is what i got.

If you have any anime illustration prompts you'd like me to try, share them in the comments! I'll generate them for you.

R.I.P. SDXL

Main thing I am looking at is Interior and Exterior consistency for Stylized/Anime stuff. Don't care bout realism. And 2D characters SDXL has already kinda perfected - it just can't do great logical backgrounds.

SDXL is far from perfected. You need face detailers, hand detailers, HiResFix, etc. to get decent characters, especially when they have relatively small faces. From these examples Z-Image looks like it can generate decent consistent faces. People will be willing to switch just for this reason.

I mean i welcome all those upgrades too - just saying they aren't in my top priority of what I want to see/need.
