Tongyi-MAI AI models

Z-Image is the foundation model of the Z-Image family, engineered for good quality, robust generative diversity, broad stylistic coverage, and precise prompt adherence. It is a 6B-parameter text-to-image model built for efficient, high-fidelity image generation with strong prompt following capabilities across a wide range of visual styles.

Z-Image Turbo is a super fast text-to-image model of 6B parameters developed by Tongyi-MAI. It compresses inference to as few as 1-8 diffusion steps (default 8), delivering high-volume, low-cost image generation at $0.005 per megapixel while maintaining strong prompt adherence. Optimized for rapid prototyping, content variation testing, and high-throughput asset generation, with optional prompt expansion to enrich brief prompts automatically.
