Z-Image-Turbo LoRA is a personalised version of Tongyi-MAI’s 6B-parameter Z-Image-Turbo model. It keeps the same 8-step, ultra-fast sampler and low VRAM footprint, while letting you plug in up to three LoRA adapters to inject your own styles, characters, or brand identity into each generation.
Where many diffusion models need dozens of steps, Z-Image-Turbo LoRA stays aggressively optimised around 8 sampling steps. On top of that, it adds LoRA hooks so you can steer the visual style without retraining the base model—perfect for interactive products, dashboards, and large-scale backends that still need a branded look.
• Photorealistic output at speed Generates high-fidelity, realistic images suitable for product photos, hero banners, and UI visuals—now with your own LoRA styles layered on top.
• Bilingual prompts and text Understands prompts in English and Chinese, and can render multilingual on-image text, ideal for cross-market campaigns and UI screenshots.
• LoRA-powered customisation Attach up to 3 LoRAs per request to add a specific art style, character look, or brand aesthetics without touching the base weights.
• Low-latency, low-step design Only 8 function evaluations per image deliver extremely low latency, ideal for chatbots, configuration tools, design assistants, and any “type → image” workflow.
• Friendly VRAM footprint Runs well in 16 GB VRAM environments, reducing hardware costs and making local or edge deployments more realistic—even with LoRAs enabled.
• Scales for bulk generation The efficient sampler keeps large jobs—catalogues, continuous feeds, or mass thumbnail generation—practical, even when every image uses one or more LoRAs.
• Reproducible generations A controllable seed parameter lets you recreate previous images or generate small, controlled variations for brand safety and experimentation.
prompt – natural-language description of the scene, style, and any on-image text (English or Chinese).
size (width / height) – choose the output resolution that fits your use case.
seed – set to -1 for random results, or use a fixed integer to make outputs reproducible.
loras – optional list of up to three LoRA adapters:
path – a LoRA identifier such as <owner>/<model-name> or a direct .safetensors URL.
scale – numeric strength for that LoRA; higher values apply a stronger stylistic effect.
You can click “Add Item” in the loras panel to add 1–3 LoRAs. They are combined during generation, so a single prompt can mix, for example, a character LoRA, a style LoRA, and a brand-colour LoRA.
For detailed, step-by-step guidance on finding, uploading, and using LoRAs on WaveSpeedAI, see our LoRA tutorials How to use LoRA.
Simple per-image billing:
stability-ai/sdxl-lora – Stability AI’s SDXL LoRA hub, offering a wide range of ready-made styles and subjects for fast, lightweight customisation on top of the SDXL base model.
wavespeed-ai/qwen-image/edit-plus-lora – Qwen Image Edit Plus with LoRA support, combining strong semantic understanding with style-controllable, localised image editing.
wavespeed-ai/flux-2-dev/edit-lora – FLUX.2 [dev] Edit enhanced with LoRA adapters, enabling prompt-based image editing that can also match specific art styles, characters, or brand looks.
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/z-image/turbo-lora with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs.

time.sleep(2)Z Image Turbo Lora is a WaveSpeedAI model for AI inference, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Z-Image-Turbo LoRA (6B) enables ultra-fast text-to-image generation with external LoRA support. Generate photorealistic images in sub-second latency while applying up to 3 LoRAs for custom styles. Ready-to-use REST API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/z-image-turbo-lora.
Z Image Turbo Lora starts at $0.010 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `size`, `seed`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`, `loras`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/z-image-turbo-lora.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
