alt Hacker NewsI am amazed, though not entirely surprised, that these models keep getting smaller while the quality and effectiveness increases. z image turbo is wild, I'm looking forward to trying this one out.

Quality is increasing, but these small models have very little knowledge compared to their big brothers (Qwen Image/Full size Flux 2). As in characters, artists, specific items, etc.

There are probably some more subtle tipping points that small models hit too. One of the challenges of a 100GB model is that there is non-trivial difficulty in downloading and running the thing that a 4GB model doesn't face. At 4GB I think it might be reasonable to assume that most devs can just try it and see what it does.
