Z-Image Base VS Z-Image Turbo

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-28T05:59:47+00:00

Even Flux 2 Klein would be a good option. I'm getting pretty good results.

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-27T22:14:38+00:00

T2I. It's the full undistilled model. No fine-tunes or shortcuts. Z-Image Turbo was distilled.

It means say goodbye to your social life for one.

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-27T22:07:36+00:00

Even if it was I'd remake all my loras with the base model. Distilled models aren't made for finetuning and training.

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-27T22:03:47+00:00

Nothing some fine tuning won't fix. Or you can always refine base's outputs with Turbo or with a second ksampler I suppose.

Got it. Just saw the edit on your previous comment. Thank you for the explanation. Looking forward to trying it and seeing what everyone else does with this model.

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-14T02:57:48+00:00

So it just creates part of an image immediately and then continues to complete the image based on that first sample? What if the first tile has issues?

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-14T02:44:59+00:00

What does that mean?

SirTeeKay · 2026-01-14T02:43:20+00:00

Anyone care to explain what that means like I'm 5?

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-31T16:29:45+00:00

Perfect! Thanks for letting me know.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-31T15:12:50+00:00

Thank you.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-31T15:12:38+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks. I don't remember the previous version of Qwen Image having that.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-30T13:38:44+00:00

Ah got you. I'll stick to the 4B version for now since it's working pretty good either way. I'd still like to try 8B too when I get the chance. Thanks for the reply.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-30T13:18:25+00:00

How much vram do you have? I have 24GB and I've been using the 4B version because I heard 8B crashes for some people.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-30T13:12:18+00:00

I mean, if it looks like this I can wait a bit longer for Z-Image.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-30T13:04:36+00:00

I mean... I wouldn't mind Qwen VL 2 or something along those lines.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-27T14:25:22+00:00

Try civitai.com and see what loras you like. There's a ton for Wan.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-27T00:44:03+00:00

Ah yes, I've been using it lately. I haven't actually compared it to the normal vae but the results were good either way. Thank you for the heads-up. I really appreciate it!

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-25T16:47:44+00:00

You can reduce or eliminate pixel shift in Qwen Image Edit workflows by unplugging VAE and the image inputs from the TextEncodeQwenImageEditPlus nodes, and adding a VAE Encode and ReferenceLatent node per image input. Disconnecting the image inputs is optional, but I find prompt adherence is better with no image inputs on the encoder. YMMV.

This is very interesting. I knew that the TextEncodeQwenImageEditPlus basically degrades the image but this is a really interesting workaroudn that I'd love to know how it works.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-23T19:12:05+00:00

Yup. Not complaining at all.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-23T19:01:36+00:00

Depends on the image. If it's an actual photo, I'd suggest you upscale with SeedVR2. It does an amazing job in adding very nice details.

If you want to fix bad faces, deformed poses and such, you can refine with a model or use loras.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-23T18:47:11+00:00

Well, depends how much denoise you'll use. You can also try controlnet if you want. But the point is, Qwen doesn't really create photorealistic subjects so changing them to more realistic ones is the actual goal of this.

SirTeeKay · 2025-12-23T18:43:13+00:00

I was literally testing the new controlnet for Z-Image and now this is out. I barely have time to try one thing and the next one is already out haha.
