Image generation with Z-Image Turbo

Photorealistic open-source image generation with Z-Image Turbo — fast, low-cost, and one of the only models that renders English and Chinese text in images cleanly.

Why it fits

One open model for production images

Photorealism, bilingual text, and fast turnaround behind a single API key.

Z-Image Turbo

A 6B Apache-2.0 model with strong photorealism and instruction-following.

Bilingual text in images

Reliable English and Chinese typography rendered directly in images, where most models fail.

Fast & low-cost

Roughly 2.5 seconds per image — quick enough to iterate in real time.

OpenAI-compatible

POST /v1/images/generations and get back base64 or a URL with the client you already use.

Pay per image

Per-image pricing across multiple regions, with no idle GPU costs to carry.

Multi-region

Requests route to a healthy region automatically.

Quickstart

Generate an image

Call the OpenAI-compatible images endpoint and get back a base64 image or a hosted URL.

# image generation (synchronous)
image = client.images.generate(
    model="z-image-turbo",
    prompt="a neon city skyline at dusk",
)

# or call the endpoint directly
POST /v1/images/generations
{ "model": "z-image-turbo", "prompt": "a storefront sign reading hello" }
# -> returns a b64_json image or a hosted URL
