- **Z-Image** is the foundation model of the ⚡️- Image family, engineered for good quality, robust generative diversity, broad stylistic coverage, and precise prompt adherence.
33
- While Z-Image-Turbo is built for speed,
34
- Z-Image is a full-capacity, undistilled transformer designed to be the backbone for creators, researchers, and developers who require the highest level of creative freedom.

- ### 🌟 Key Features
39
-
40
- - **Undistilled Foundation**: As a non-distilled base model, Z-Image preserves the complete training signal. It supports full Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG), providing the precision required for complex prompt engineering and professional workflows.
41
- - **Aesthetic Versatility**: Z-Image masters a vast spectrum of visual languages—from hyper-realistic photography and cinematic digital art to intricate anime and stylized illustrations. It is the ideal engine for scenarios requiring rich, multi-dimensional expression.
42
- - **Enhanced Output Diversity**: Built for exploration, Z-Image delivers significantly higher variability in composition, facial identity, and lighting across different seeds, ensuring that multi-person scenes remain distinct and dynamic.
43
- - **Built for Development**: The ideal starting point for the community. Its non-distilled nature makes it a good base for LoRA training, structural conditioning (ControlNet) and semantic conditioning.
44
- - **Robust Negative Control**: Responds with high fidelity to negative prompting, allowing users to reliably suppress artifacts and adjust compositions.

112
+ ### Troubleshooting
113
+
114
+ - Flash-Attention (optional): native inference defaults to PyTorch SDPA. If you see an error like "Requires Flash-attention version ...", either install a compatible flash-attn version or force native SDPA with `ZIMAGE_ATTENTION=_native_flash`.
115
+ - ComfyUI: This repo does not ship ComfyUI nodes. If you use ComfyUI, keep plugins updated; outdated comfyui-dev-utils has been reported to break after ComfyUI core updates. Please report ComfyUI-specific crashes in the ComfyUI repo with logs.
