# Z-Image Notes

## Current default assumption

- `Z-Image` is in scope for collection and optimization alongside `FLUX.2-klein`, `LTX`, and `MiniMax`.

## What to look for

- strong `text-to-image` workflows
- reference and edit workflows
- outpaint / inpaint workflows
- high-quality upscaling or restoration-adjacent workflows
- any workflow that clearly beats a comparable `FLUX` path in practical image quality or simplicity

## Current heuristics

- Prefer real workflow assets over showcase pages.
- Favor workflows with clear node requirements and portable imports.
- Treat `Z-Image` as especially relevant for image-generation and image-edit categories, not video categories.

## What still needs proof

- which `Z-Image` workflows are genuinely stronger than the best current `FLUX` image-generation paths
- whether `Z-Image` should become a category-master candidate for `text-to-image` or `image-edit`
