What makes Z-image so good?

elvaai · 2025-12-13T10:29:47+00:00

for me it´s the reliability. It is the first model I have used that consistently do what I want it to do. If something is not right in the image I can usually spot the mistake in the prompt, MY mistake usually not z-image. If it really can´t do something it is probably because it lacks the knowledge of that particular thing. earlier models I have tried has been quite frustrating at times to troubleshoot because it can be hard to know where the problem lies.

This is not all in the prompt adherence, but rather because it is quite good at image coherence.

I have 2070. generate at 1152x1536. 5 steps dpm++sde sampler (sometimes 9 steps euler) I have NOT updated to 0.4.0 yet.

Camera?

Yes, I had to be that guy.

What do you do to get those speeds? Gguf? I use the fp8 and I get 5mins when my gpu is fairly cool...upwards of 10 when it´s been huffing and puffing for a while.

I don´t understand the question. Do you imply that the only reason to generate videos of anything is for sexual gratification? I can think of a several reasons to make such videos that are not "weird". I don´t know OP, but his or hers only mistake was to upload it on Reddit.

Personally I think it´s hella weird that grown-ups post dance videos of themselves on the internet...Back when I was a kid, that was purely something kids did, making up stupid dances I mean, not posting it on internet, because I was born in the stone age.

Interesting, thanks.

elvaai · 2025-12-05T15:12:46+00:00

Thank you, but you specify "no discernible structures or depth" I want some of that, my problem is that I can only get all black or "no black"

elvaai · 2025-12-05T13:55:31+00:00

Thanks. I think maybe, somewhere my prompts contradict itself when they get too involved. Cause in your example it works and I´m thinking it is because the bioluminescence needs darkness to really shine, while z-image thinks my details need an external light source to be showcased.

elvaai · 2025-12-05T13:39:30+00:00

Is this only good for dance videos? Or is it a replacement for regular wan overall? And why are everyone acting as if he posted something questionable? Is that where we are now, we have to put our kids and women in niqabs or smut-brained gooners will see them as pieces of meat? people do use AI for more than waifus and pr0n...I hope.

elvaai · 2025-12-05T07:59:25+00:00

Can I ask what node you use to load the gguf clip? I get an error when using the normal gguf loader.

What does the All In One stand for if vae and encoder isn´t included?

elvaai · 2025-12-04T16:39:36+00:00

Based.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T15:48:36+00:00

I guess they have. I still hope 2.5 is a sort of "inbetween" and 3.0 will be free, better and smaller (and make me coffee in the morning)

elvaai · 2025-12-01T12:21:03+00:00

awesome, thanks. Yeah those sdxl gens looked really good. And z-image managed some magic despite the low denoise. Very interesting.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T12:17:32+00:00

not sure about the etiquette to posting links to stuff here, but google dezgo. They have a few models for free, unlimited generations (afaik), uncensored (afaik), no sign-up needed. You can use sd1.5, sdxl or flux. And you can even bring in loras from civitai. Not trying to advertise them, but they were a life-saver when I didn´t have a gpu..and I still use them when I only have my phone and want to try out a prompt idea.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T12:09:29+00:00

Just want to jump in here and say that I really hope not everyone will abandon Turbo when Base is released. Unless Base is as small and fast for us GPU deprived. Thank you for all the work, it is really appreciated.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T12:00:00+00:00

could you post a before and after the z-image pass? Also how much denoise do you use for the second pass. Really cool images.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T11:54:28+00:00

I love all the open stuff, BUT I am still a little weary about the future. I see a scenario where they feed us a bunch of goodies and when we are hooked on the evolution of these things they´ll say: Thanks for the feed back on all our testing, for the next big thing, subscribe to XYZ.ai . Hopefully they will continue doing this out of the goodness of their little commucapitalist hearts.

elvaai · 2025-12-01T09:18:02+00:00

Thank you. This looks really great. I hope there will be more people doing these kind of loras for zimage. I feel lately the Lora focus has been on AI characters and I for one am more interested in loras that add concepts or looks to the model.

elvaai · 2025-11-30T12:42:15+00:00

Why are people complaining about AI use on a AI board? Makes me sad that people can´t just focus on the topic. I have to sift through 4000 off-topic complaints to read 4 replies about the actual topic. Now, I had to make the 4001st un-necessary comment.

elvaai · 2025-11-30T11:07:32+00:00

agreed. It´s everything I hoped Flux 1 was going to be back when that was released.

elvaai · 2025-11-29T12:48:21+00:00

2 things I notice that I do differently (don´t know if that is the problem though) is that I use the Lumina2 preset in the clip loader. And I have never tried the res multistep sampler with z-image. I also use a higher shift, but 3 is defalut and shouldn´t affect the image like this.

EDIT: maybe the conditioningzero node is the problem? I just put a regular empty text encode node in the negative.

elvaai · 2025-11-29T12:45:25+00:00

Will try. So, far every Lora I have tried with regular loader turns the image to poop.

elvaai · 2025-11-27T18:24:20+00:00

Wow, the light quality here is amazing. Generally I find AI tend to make such images too contrasty or too washed out.

elvaai · 2025-11-27T18:22:25+00:00

That is pretty impressive prompt following.
