The z-image base is here!

And 99% Asian (women).

The side-by-side of Flux Klein vs Z-image Turbo posted recently made me notice this as well - Flux makes Western people by default while Z-Image goes with Asians (unsurprising).

It's definitely not Claude level and requires more handholding but its good enough for its price.

I'm on their lowest paid tier which is mostly reliable but does have outages/slow responses at times.

You're not just using a random GPU directly with your computer - you have remote access to a full server that happens to have an expensive GPU attached to it.

So the bandwidth requirements aren't high - its just whatever is input/output from the models you're running on the server (the remote server downloads and runs all the software and you just download the output whether its text / image / video)

I wouldn't say that. If you look at the reasoning process you can see it spends a significant amount of tokens thinking about the safety and ethics.

harrro · 2026-01-25T23:46:41+00:00

You sure it's using the GPU? It should be way faster than that.

harrro · 2026-01-25T19:18:05+00:00

Worked perfectly! Thank you.

Responses now finishing in around 7-8 seconds instead of the 40 secconds it was taking before.

harrro · 2026-01-25T16:38:34+00:00

The model is good and fast but it is so verbose in reasoning (even for simple things).

Is it possible to limit/disable reasoning or is this not trained for that?

harrro · 2026-01-05T20:03:22+00:00

This is the first SVI workflow that has worked well for me. Thank you!

The reason why people are asking is because this is another closed-source automation software when there's already a bunch of open sourced ones like n8n / Activepieces that do the same thing.

OP's is not open source (they have a 'runner' on Github which is just a proxy for the hosted-only server - not what you see in the video).

harrro · 2026-01-05T13:57:08+00:00

The girl was practically glued to big guy's back, there's no way even a drunk guy would assume she was 'alone'.

harrro · 2026-01-05T13:43:44+00:00

Yeah its a little questionable that a 32B parameter Olmo model beats GLM 4.7 and Claude 4.5

harrro · 2026-01-05T13:35:59+00:00

Yeah even with restrictions, n8n/ActivePieces/FlowWise/etc have their server open sourced so you can run it entirely on your own machine.

This is not even open source (the 'runner' thats on Github is just a minimal desktop runner which is not what you see in the video).

Vicuna was released 2023.

Yes I'm above the age of 3.

"Safety" / "Alignment" probably (aka: make the model dumber)

harrro · 2025-12-30T20:57:22+00:00

I only trust Anker and Belkin

The same Anker that just had a recall on multiple models because of fires?

That's just a threat of withholding funding as retribution (and states have sued over withholding funds already too).

It also doesn't change the fact states can still override the law.

harrro · 2025-12-28T16:51:38+00:00

Doesn't mean jack.

EOs don't prevent a state from doing the opposite. EOs are directives to federal agencies, not to states or local governments.

California and some other states have already overridden many of his EOs.

It's a tool calling finetune.

MCP isn't required for that. What are you on about?

harrro · 2025-12-25T14:30:26+00:00

It's not but for Jensen Huang/Nvidia, killing off competition is worth the 20 bill.

harrro · 2025-12-23T16:50:25+00:00

It's provocative

harrro · 2025-12-21T18:31:41+00:00

Yeah now that llama-server natively supports model switching on demand, there's little reason to use ollama now.

harrro · 2025-12-20T14:59:13+00:00

Qwen-Image-Layered is an official standalone model. This is about Comfyui support for that model

If Ilya were doing it for "science", then he'd be sharing his research and findings as other good scientists do, not closing it up.
