Z-Image-Turbo LoRA (6B) enables ultra-fast text-to-image generation with external LoRA support. Generate photorealistic images in sub-second latency while applying up to 3 LoRAs for custom styles. Ready-to-use REST API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Z-Image-Turbo LoRA is a personalised version of Tongyi-MAI’s 6B-parameter Z-Image-Turbo model. It keeps the same 8-step, ultra-fast sampler and low VRAM footprint, while letting you plug in up to three LoRA adapters to inject your own styles, characters, or brand identity into each generation.


Ultra-fast generation with LoRA personalisation

Where many diffusion models need dozens of steps, Z-Image-Turbo LoRA stays aggressively optimised around 8 sampling steps. On top of that, it adds LoRA hooks so you can steer the visual style without retraining the base model—perfect for interactive products, dashboards, and large-scale backends that still need a branded look.


Why it looks so good

• Photorealistic output at speed Generates high-fidelity, realistic images suitable for product photos, hero banners, and UI visuals—now with your own LoRA styles layered on top.

• Bilingual prompts and text Understands prompts in English and Chinese, and can render multilingual on-image text, ideal for cross-market campaigns and UI screenshots.

• LoRA-powered customisation Attach up to 3 LoRAs per request to add a specific art style, character look, or brand aesthetics without touching the base weights.

• Low-latency, low-step design Only 8 function evaluations per image deliver extremely low latency, ideal for chatbots, configuration tools, design assistants, and any “type → image” workflow.

• Friendly VRAM footprint Runs well in 16 GB VRAM environments, reducing hardware costs and making local or edge deployments more realistic—even with LoRAs enabled.

• Scales for bulk generation The efficient sampler keeps large jobs—catalogues, continuous feeds, or mass thumbnail generation—practical, even when every image uses one or more LoRAs.

• Reproducible generations A controllable seed parameter lets you recreate previous images or generate small, controlled variations for brand safety and experimentation.


How to use

  • prompt – natural-language description of the scene, style, and any on-image text (English or Chinese).

  • size (width / height) – choose the output resolution that fits your use case.

  • seed – set to -1 for random results, or use a fixed integer to make outputs reproducible.

  • loras – optional list of up to three LoRA adapters:

  • path – a LoRA identifier such as <owner>/<model-name> or a direct .safetensors URL.

  • scale – numeric strength for that LoRA; higher values apply a stronger stylistic effect.

You can click “Add Item” in the loras panel to add 1–3 LoRAs. They are combined during generation, so a single prompt can mix, for example, a character LoRA, a style LoRA, and a brand-colour LoRA.

For detailed, step-by-step guidance on finding, uploading, and using LoRAs on WaveSpeedAI, see our LoRA tutorials How to use LoRA.

Parameters

Task Submission Parameters

Request Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
promptstringYes-The positive prompt for the generation.
lorasarray<object>No0 ~ 3 itemsList of LoRAs to apply (maximum 3).
sizestringNo1024*1024-The size of the generated media in pixels (width*height).
seedintegerNo-1-The random seed to use for the generation. -1 means a random seed will be used.
output_formatstringNojpegjpeg, png, webpThe format of the output image.
enable_sync_modebooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the request attempts to wait for the generated result and return outputs in the same response. If the result is not ready within the sync wait window, the API can return a timeout body while the task continues processing. This option is only available via the API and is supported only by some models.
enable_base64_outputbooleanNofalse-If set to `true`, the prediction's `output` strings are returned as **naked base64** (no `data:<mime>;base64,` prefix). When `false` (default), outputs are returned as URLs pointing to our CDN.
