Wong Kar-wai film style, a lonely man smoking a cigarette in a narrow Hong Kong hallway, 1990s. Greenish fluorescent lighting, heavy shadows, moody atmosphere. Slight motion blur to create a dreamlike quality. Film grain, vignetting, emotional, cinematic composition, dutch angle shot.
A translucent jellyfish made of flowing liquid fire and smoke, floating inside a cube of solid ice. The ice is melting, dripping water that turns into gold coins. Stark contrast between the warm orange fire and cold blue ice. Studio lighting, black background, 3D render style, caustics lighting effects, refraction, octane render, 8k.
A clean exploded view diagram of modern over-ear headphones. All components are deconstructed and floating in mid-air to show the internal structure. White background, studio lighting, soft shadows, industrial design style, high resolution, photorealistic, 8k.
Cinematic wide shot of a battle-worn viking warrior standing in a blizzard. Wearing intricate silver armor with fur cloak. Face covered in mud and war paint. Snowflakes landing on eyelashes. Intense gaze, screaming. Epic mountain background, overcast sky, desaturated colors, gritty texture, highly detailed armor, 8k, Arri Alexa camera.
Retro 90s shojo manga style. Close-up of a girl with sparkling watery eyes and windblown hair. A clean white speech bubble next to her face. The text inside the bubble explicitly reads "I LOVE WaveSpeedAI". Soft dreamy atmosphere, starry background, delicate linework, vintage anime aesthetic.

Z-Image-Turbo — 6B-parameter, ultra-fast text-to-image
Z-Image-Turbo is a 6B-parameter text-to-image model from Tongyi-MAI, engineered for production workloads where latency and throughput really matter. It uses only 8 sampling steps to render a full image, achieving sub-second latency on data-center GPUs and running comfortably on many 16 GB VRAM consumer cards.
Ultra-fast generation with production-ready quality
Where many diffusion models need dozens of steps, Z-Image-Turbo is aggressively optimised around an 8-step sampler. That keeps inference extremely fast while still delivering photorealistic images and reliable on-image text, making it a strong fit for interactive products, dashboards, and large-scale backends—not just offline batch jobs.
Why it looks so good?
• Photorealistic output at speed Generates high-fidelity, realistic images that work for product photos, hero banners, and UI visuals without multi-second waits.
• Bilingual prompts and text Understands prompts in English and Chinese, and can render multilingual text directly in the image—helpful for cross-market campaigns, posters, and screenshots.
• Low-latency, low-step design Only 8 function evaluations per image deliver extremely low latency, ideal for chatbots, configuration tools, design assistants, and any “click → image” experience.
• Friendly VRAM footprint Runs well in 16 GB VRAM environments, reducing hardware costs and making local or edge deployments more realistic.
• Scales for bulk generation Its efficiency makes large jobs—catalogues, continuous feed images, or auto-generated thumbnails—practical without blowing up compute budgets.
• Reproducible generations A controllable seed parameter lets you recreate a previous image 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; supports square and rectangular images up to high resolutions (for example, 1536 × 1536).
- seed – set to -1 for random results, or use a fixed integer to make outputs reproducible.

Z Image Turbo API — Quick start
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/z-image/turbo with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Z Image Turbo below.
HTTP example
# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/z-image/turbo" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
"image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg",
"size": "1024*1024",
"strength": 0.6,
"seed": -1,
"output_format": "jpeg",
"enable_sync_mode": false,
"enable_base64_output": false
}'
# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"
# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].Node.js example
// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');
const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

What is the Z Image Turbo API?
Z Image Turbo is a WaveSpeedAI model for image generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Z-Image-Turbo is a 6 billion parameter text-to-image model that generates photorealistic images in sub-second time. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Z Image Turbo API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/z-image-turbo.
How much does Z Image Turbo cost per run?
Z Image Turbo starts at $0.005 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does Z Image Turbo accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `size`, `seed`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/z-image-turbo.
How long does Z Image Turbo take to generate?
Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 5 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Can I use Z Image Turbo outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
