so, is there any reason to use z-image-base over turbo? it seems objectively worse in all ways apart from being able to use negatives

I don't think so. z-turbo is like using a trained model, like chiloutmix from SD1.5 days, or a flux based one like flux krea or fluxrealistic. Unless you want to create a lora or another turbo-like specialty model.

Yeah to be honest I'm also kinda disappointed of Z-Base, even chroma has better text gen.
But the prompt adderance is nice again.

klein 9b:
regular nvfp4 - regular (fp8) - base (fp8) (+seedvr2 upscale on all)
80s - 120 s - 145 s
nvfp4/regular 16 steps cfg1
bse cfg 3.5 32 steps
1536x1024 gen resolution + upscale
for me it's regular klein 9b (or distilled or whatever it is)
base for training
nvfp4 is nice too but something feels off about it. then again i just downloaded it so i'll test it a bit more

klein in general has more of a slop flavor to it, I feel. its the HDR effect mixed with a constant warm-cool even keel

the colors tend to be that warm/cool stuff a bit much yeah
i'd argue z is more washed out tho, and uses blurred background way more from what i remember. i should see how it compares again

>Z Turbo doesn't get the style at all
def one of zit's weaknesses is style responsiveness. I've been playing with some style loras and it still is very stiff. base mightve been better on this front but the overall quality is so much lower that I didn't care to experiment that much - though maybe the problem was the workflow I was using more than the model. not sure

Turbo is worse than base. When I use my Z-image lora on turbo her bust size goes up couple of alphabets.
