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
