Rainy evening on a city ferry deck. A man in his thirties with a short dark beard and a yellow raincoat holds a paper cup of coffee and looks out at the skyline. Wet railings, soft reflections, film grain.
9:16, seed 7741, 8 steps
A woman in her forties in a red cycling jacket rides a gravel bike down a dirt road through rolling hills at golden hour. Long shadows, dust in the air, wide angle.What Turbo means:eight steps, one at a time.
Z Image Turbo draws a picture in a few passes, called steps. Sceneform runs 8 by default, and you can set any number from 1 to 8. This is one prompt and one seed, stopped after each step count.
1 step
A soft, grainy sketch. The cap, the beard and the boats are already in place.
3 steps
The face, the rope and the boats come into focus. The picture is there.
4 steps
Finer texture in the knitted cap and the skin. Little else moves.
6 steps
The cap gains a brim and the boat behind him changes. Late steps can still change details.
8 steps
The default on Sceneform. The mist, the water and the jacket settle.
9:16 · seed 61 · Portrait of a man in his sixties with a white beard and a knitted navy cap on a fishing harbor at dawn. Ropes, wooden boats and light mist behind him. Natural light, 85mm lens.

Z Image Turbo FAQ
Z Image Turbo is an open text-to-image model with 6 billion parameters from Tongyi-MAI, an AI lab at Alibaba in China. It draws an image in 8 steps, which is where the speed comes from. It is good at photos of people, food and places, and at short text in English and Chinese.
Z Image is the family and its base model, which takes about 50 steps per image. Z Image Turbo is a distilled version of it that needs 8 steps, so it is much faster. Alibaba also lists an edit model, Z Image Edit, in the family. Sceneform offers Z Image Turbo.
The model is open source, so you can run it free on your own computer if you have a GPU with about 16 GB of memory. On Sceneform, plans start at $19 a month, and every plan includes Z Image Turbo.
One image costs 1 credit, and a run of four costs 2 credits. The $19 Creator plan has 500 credits a month. The exact cost shows before you generate.
