**Agility in Motion, Diversity in Depth**
The brand-new ZImage FUN “AGILE” is built upon the cutting-edge **ZIB acceleration framework**. We deliberately reduced DPO & Distilled weight to preserve greater stochastic freedom, combined with the most recent training datasets, resulting in dramatically increased output variety, richer content details, and more imaginative compositions without sacrificing core stability.
For the first time, **AGILE** reaches a true quality parity challenge against the flagship  **“ZImage TURBO”**  in terms of overall image fidelity and sharpness — even in complex scenes — while delivering faster iteration and superior responsiveness.

**Key highlights:**

-   **True ZIT-level unlocked:** Photorealistic lighting, textures, and material rendering that now rivals or approaches ZImage TURBO quality, even at standard step counts.
-   **Enhanced diversity & content richness:** **DPO + Newest datasets** = more varied poses, styles, atmospheres, intricate details, and unexpected creative sparks in every generation.
-   **ZIB ecosystem ignition:** Exceptional native compatibility with **ZIB-series LoRAs**; your existing and future LoRAs now align faster, reproduce more faithfully, and shine brighter than ever before — officially kicking off the full **ZIB LoRA era**.
-   **Agile workflows:** Seamless hybrid use with **Klein 9B** for refinement, ensemble boosting, or rapid prototyping; near-instant LoRA response with preserved high-entropy creativity.

Every generation is a step toward freer, bolder imagination.

## Z-Image-Distilled DPO “Veris” 02/26/2026

**ZImage DPO** “**Veris**” Now Released

Special thanks to [@Fok](https://huggingface.co/F16/z-image-turbo-flow-dpo) for providing the **Flow-DPO technical adaptation**. By skillfully integrating the training philosophy of Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) into the distillation weights, the Zimage distilled model achieves a major leap in lighting, color fidelity, and material authenticity — more natural light & shadow, more believable colors, and details that hold up under scrutiny.

特别感谢 [@Fok](https://huggingface.co/F16/z-image-turbo-flow-dpo) 饼儿佬提供了**Flow-DPO**技术适配。通过巧妙地将直接偏好优化（DPO）的技术理念融入蒸馏权重，Zimage 蒸馏模型在光照、色彩保真度和材质真实性方面实现了重大飞跃——更自然的光影效果、更逼真的色彩，以及经得起仔细审查的细节。

## Z-Image-Distilled V1 2026/1/30

This model is a **direct distillation-accelerated version** based on the original **Z-Image** (non-Turbo) source. Its purpose is to test LoRA training effects on the Z-Image (non-turbo) version while significantly improving inference/test speed. The model **does not incorporate any weights or style from Z-Image-Turbo** at all — it is a **pure-blood version** based purely on Z-Image, effectively retaining the original Z-Image's adaptability, random diversity in outputs, and overall image style.

Compared to the official Z-Image, inference is much faster (good results achievable in just 10–20 steps); compared to the official Z-Image-Turbo, this model preserves stronger diversity, better LoRA compatibility, and greater fine-tuning potential, though it is slightly slower than Turbo (still far faster than the original Z-Image's 28–50 steps).

The model is mainly suitable for:
- Users who want to train/test LoRAs on the Z-Image non-Turbo base
- Scenarios needing faster generation than the original without sacrificing too much diversity and stylistic freedom
- Artistic, illustration, concept design, and other generation tasks that require a certain level of randomness and style variety
- Compatible with ComfyUI inference (layer prefix == model.diffusion_model)

<p align="center">
    <img src="0.png" width="1200"/>
</p>

### Usage Instructions:

Basic workflow: please refer to the Z-Image-Turbo official workflow (fully compatible with the official Z-Image-Turbo workflow)

Recommended inference parameters:
- inference **cfg**: 1.0–2.5 (recommended range: 1.0~1.8; higher values enhance prompt adherence)
- inference **steps**: 10–20 (10 steps for quick previews, 15–20 steps for more stable quality)
- sampler / scheduler: **Euler / simple**, or **res_m**, or any other compatible sampler

LoRA compatibility is good; recommended weight: 0.6~1.0, adjust as needed.

### Current Limitations & Future Directions

**Current main limitations:**
- The distillation process causes some damage to **text (especially very small-sized text)**, with rendering clarity and completeness inferior to the original Z-Image
- Overall color tone remains consistent with the original ZI, but **certain samplers** can produce color cast issues (particularly noticeable excessive blue tint)

**Next optimization directions:**
- Further stabilize generation quality under **CFG=1** within **10 steps or fewer**, striving to achieve more usable results that are closer to the original style even at very low step counts
- Optimize negative prompt adherence when **CFG > 1**, improving control over negative descriptions and reducing interference from unwanted elements
- Continue improving clarity and readability in small text areas while maintaining the speed advantages brought by distillation

We welcome feedback and generated examples from all users — let's collaborate to advance this pure-blood acceleration direction!
