🎨 Z-Image-Turbo-Anime | 8-Step Anime Generation

Custom LoRA Merge • Enhanced Anime Style • All-in-One • FP8 & BF16

✨ What is Z-Image-Turbo-Anime?

Z-Image-Turbo-Anime is a custom anime checkpoint built by merging carefully selected and purpose-trained LoRAs into the Z-Image-Turbo base model.
This approach significantly enhances anime-style aesthetics while fully preserving the model’s ultra-fast 8-step generation speed.

All integrated LoRAs were specifically trained and fine-tuned to improve anime proportions, expressions, color richness, and stylistic consistency.

The AIO version uses a special, uncut text encoder, additionally adapted with a pre-defined LoRA file.
This setup improves prompt understanding and offers better responsiveness to German prompts, while English prompts still produce the most accurate and consistent results overall.

Available in two versions:

• 🟡 FP8-AIO (~10GB) - Efficient & fast

• 🟢 BF16-AIO (~20GB) - Maximum quality

Key Features:

• ⚡ 8-step generation - Lightning fast anime art

• 🔓 Partially NSFW - Many concepts work out-of-box
