What makes Z-image so good?

Im a bit of a noob when it comes to AI and image generation. Mostly watching different models generating images like qwen or sd.
I just use Nano banana for hobby.

Question i had was what makes Z-image so good? I know it can run efficiently on older gpus and generate good images but what prevents other models from doing the same.

tldr : what is Z-image doing differently?
Better training , better weights?

Question : what is the Z-image base what everyone is talking about? Next version of z-image

Use Qwen3-VL-8B for Image-to-Image Prompting in Z-Image!

Knowing that Z-image used Qwn3-VL-4B as a text encoder. So, I've been using Qwen3-VL-8B as an image-to-image prompt to write detailed denoscriptions of images and then feed it to Z-image.

I tested all the Qwen-3-VL models from the 2B to 32B, and found that the denoscription quality is similar for 8B and above. Z-image seems to really love long detailed prompts, and in my testing, it just prefers prompts by the Qwen3 series of models.

P.S. I strongly believe that some of the TechLinked videos were used in the training dataset, otherwise it's uncanny how much Z-image managed to reproduced the images from text denoscription alone.

Prompt: "This is a medium shot of a man, identified by a lower-third graphic as Riley Murdock, standing in what appears to be a modern studio or set. He has dark, wavy hair, a light beard and mustache, and is wearing round, thin-framed glasses. He is directly looking at the viewer. He is dressed in a simple, dark-colored long-sleeved crewneck shirt. His expression is engaged and he appears to be speaking, with his mouth slightly open. The background is a stylized, colorful wall composed of geometric squares in various shades of blue, white, and yellow-orange, arranged in a pattern that creates a sense of depth and visual interest. A solid orange horizontal band runs across the upper portion of the background. In the lower-left corner, a graphic overlay displays the name "RILEY MURDOCK" in bold, orange, sans-serif capital letters on a white rectangular banner, which is accented with a colorful, abstract geometric design to its left. The lighting is bright and even, typical of a professional video production, highlighting the subject clearly against the vibrant backdrop. The overall impression is that of a presenter or host in a contemporary, upbeat setting. Riley Murdock, presenter, studio, modern, colorful background, geometric pattern, glasses, dark shirt, lower-third graphic, video production, professional, engaging, speaking, orange accent, blue and yellow wall."

The upcoming Z-image base will be a unified model that handles both image generation and editing.

Just a quick PSA. Delete your ComfyUI prefs after big updates.

I had noticed that the new theme was quite different from the copy I had made. (Had set it to show nodes as boxes). And thought to myself, perhaps default settings are different now too.

So I deleted my prefs and, sure enough, a lot of strange issues I was having just disappeared. Just wish I had done this before filling out the survey... some of my complaints won't make sense to them 🤦
