Alibaba's Tongyi Lab has unveiled Z-Image Turbo AI, a cutting-edge text-to-image model capable of generating 1024×1024 images in under one second using high-end consumer GPUs. This 6-billion-parameter model, open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, employs Decoupled-DMD distillation to reduce inference steps to just eight, achieving top rankings in photorealism. The model supports bilingual prompts and enhanced in-image text rendering, optimized for hardware with 16GB VRAM. As the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation becomes more stringent, technologies like Z-Image Turbo AI could play a crucial role in enhancing liquidity and efficiency in crypto markets through rapid and localized AI deployment.
