01
What it is
Z-Image Turbo is a distilled open-weight text-to-image model built for speed: nine steps by default, sharp 1024-pixel output, and strong prompt following for a model this quick. It is the model to reach for when you want to iterate on a prompt dozens of times without watching the meter.
CozyGPU runs the published ComfyUI workflow for you on a mid-size RunPod GPU and ships with a handful of built-in LoRAs (Realistic Snapshot, 35 mm Photo, Pixel Art, DeJPEG, Character Design Sheet). Your own LoRAs drop in beside them.
