(WARNING) These weights are identical to the base Z-Image model β€” not a fine-tune (SHA256 proof)

Heads up to anyone considering this model before you download 12GB:

The transformer here is byte-for-byte identical to the official Z-Image base
model (Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image). It has not been fine-tuned, it was a false information.

You can confirm this yourself in seconds without downloading β€” the HF tree API
exposes the SHA256 of every LFS file:

Official Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image (transformer/):
shard 1: ecd5df7768856215812af84d5cc785ba9d84c6d8c84e6939c7ccf30a2e0d2425
shard 2: e2d5fb75ca504b2d669a33af9380b68e0c1632ecddbfca85f82631958a4b81b1

This repo (horus_transformer/):
shard 1: ecd5df7768856215812af84d5cc785ba9d84c6d8c84e6939c7ccf30a2e0d2425
shard 2: e2d5fb75ca504b2d669a33af9380b68e0c1632ecddbfca85f82631958a4b81b1

Matching SHA256 means the files are identical down to the last byte. If any
training had occurred β€” even one step β€” every tensor would change and the
hashes would differ completely. I also confirmed all 521 tensors are identical
after accounting for naming differences (this repo is diffusers format, the
ComfyUI z_image_bf16 release uses fused QKV, but the underlying weights match).

On the same seed it produces a pixel-identical image to base Z-Image, which is
exactly what you'd expect from the same weights.

Posting so nobody else wastes bandwidth/time. If this is actually a fine-tune,
please share the trained weights, because these aren't them.
