# Z-Image Turbo Official Example

## Summary

Official `Z-Image Turbo` example workflow distributed as a PNG with embedded Comfy metadata. Good starting point for fast local image generation, especially when you want a simpler image stack than heavier FLUX setups.

## Model Family

- `zimage`

## Status

- `imported-only`

## Developer notes

- The example page describes `Z-Image Turbo` as a fast distilled diffusion model.
- The workflow is distributed as an image with embedded Comfy metadata, so you load it by dragging the PNG into ComfyUI.
- The example page points to:
  - `qwen_3_4b.safetensors`
  - `z_image_turbo_bf16.safetensors`
  - `ae.safetensors`

## Our notes

- This is the cleanest official `Z-Image Turbo` starting point we have right now.
- On a `3070`, this looks more plausible as a practical fast image-generation workflow than many heavier FLUX variants.
- If `Z-Image` turns into a real favorite, this workflow will likely become one of the main inputs for a future `optimized/text-to-image/` master.

## Required custom nodes

- none beyond current official Comfy support for the embedded example workflow

## Required model files

- `models/text_encoders/qwen_3_4b.safetensors`
- `models/diffusion_models/z_image_turbo_bf16.safetensors`
- `models/vae/ae.safetensors`

## Notes

- Load by dragging `workflow.png` into ComfyUI.
- Best current `Z-Image Turbo` baseline in the repo.
