Showcase – 1024×1024 Images with Z Image Base
Generate 1024×1024 images with Z image base at CFG 1 to evaluate speed on low‑end hardware.
Run the same prompt on a more powerful GPU to compare rendering time.
Summary
The author showcases images generated using the Z Image Base model at 1024×1024 resolution with a CFG of 1. The generation takes 1–2 minutes on a Mac mini with 16 GB RAM. The author notes that the text capability is over‑baked, causing unintended text to appear in the image. A prompt describing a woman standing chest‑deep in dark water at night is used. The post includes several example images and mentions that the model is highly recommended for those wanting to create custom models.
This showcase demonstrates the speed and quality achievable with a low‑budget model on modest hardware. The unintended text artifact highlights the importance of fine‑tuning text handling in diffusion models.
Developers can use this as a baseline for performance testing on similar hardware configurations.
Key changes
- Uses Z image base model.
- Image size 1024×1024.
- CFG 1.
- Takes 1–2 minutes on Mac mini 16 GB.
- Text capability over‑baked, causing unintended text.
- Prompt: photo of a woman standing chest‑deep in dark water.
- Model not named but likely custom.
