    @Cyberdelia Try also Euler ancestral combined with FlowMatch Euler Discrete Scheduler. This is my all time favoutite combination for z image turbo.

    @vicaut Ah, I thought it was a text encoder. I use a custom text encoder for this myself. And for creating Z-Image prompts, I also use a different system. This is fine in itself - I was just a bit confused about what it actually was. It was also very late last night :)

    vicautMay 17, 2026

    @Cyberdelia Well, it is? Z-Engineer V4 is a fully fine-tuned version of the text encoder from Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo. It's been specifically trained to understand the nuances of AI Image Generation workflows.

    It excels at:

    Expanding Concepts: Turn "sad robot in rain" into a cinematic fever dream with chromatic aberration, shallow depth of field, and a melancholic color grade that would make Blade Runner jealous.

    Technical Precision: It knows the difference between an 85mm portrait lens and a 24mm wide—and will use them appropriately. Lighting? Rembrandt, split, volumetric fog? It's got opinions.

    Stylistic Consistency: It writes with a creative voice, not that robotic "hyperrealistic, 8k, trending on artstation" energy.

    vicautMay 17, 2026

    @Melodic_Possible_582589 It is a better, fune-tuned, text encoder.

    @vicaut Aha, so it is a text encoder after all :) Then I’ll compare it with my own text encoder.

    Melodic_Possible_582589May 17, 2026

    @vicaut thanks for the info. I will have to try it again. When I compared it to the josiefied version the z-engineer couldn't do penetration in some prompts. I also used both the both the 8 and 16 bit version of z-engineer in LM studio and it couldn't really produce good zimage style prompts. I was able to reach the realism generations because I used Cyberdelia's prompt on chatgpt, but that doesn't allow nsfw, so I describe the character on cyberdelia's program and describe the nsfw stuff using LM studio. I have not used lm studio for awhile now.

    dsanatlarJun 4, 2026

    @ferretduck What are the minimum specs for doing this?

    ferretduckJun 17, 2026

    @dsanatlar you just need a CPU and a couple gigabytes of RAM, depending on the model you want to convert.

    Any difference in input betwen fb8 and bf16?

    ss9999Jun 2, 2026· 1 reaction

    bf16 has higher quality because it's less compressed.

    Something is ruining many pictures across all ZIT models, until a resourceful creator can fix it with a LoRA. Whenever a woman stands full frontal to the camera, her pussy crack reaches too high. A few seconds watching real photos (in sites like www.metarthunter.com or similar) will very quickly make you see the problem as I see it.
    Another weak point of ZIT is nipples that disappear behind even a light blouse or t-shirt, instead of being partially noticed.

    Haha, I know you like to stay on the negative side of life. 😉

    There is a Base version, but honestly I haven’t had great results with it so far. That’s why I’m mainly focusing on Turbo right now. For me it gives better results and is much more fun to work with.

    Is there already a good way to train a LoRA specifically for this? When using LoRAs that I trained for z-image base, the results are underwhelming. I have also tested inference with the catalyst model and I have not found it to be performing much better.
    Maybe someone made a training-adapter so we can train LoRAs directly on this checkpoint?

    Other than difficulties with LoRAs the V5 model is absolutely insane. Thank you for your work. I greatly appreciate what you do.

    It works, but not on Civitai for some reason. A pity, because the model is very nice.

    The model is really good, but there are exaggerations of color in it, I mean that the color is greatly overestimated for realism, in general, I liked the model, and the textures and understands the norm of promt. I would like to see a little less bright contrasting colors in the next update so that the model can draw a little more realistically. I use dpmpp_2s_ancestral+ (beta57/bong_tangent) or res_2s+ (beta57/bong_tangent) for realism.
