Model Formats and Image Quality
Generally, the image quality ranks in the following order:
FP32 > FP16 ≒ BF16 > INT8_ConvRot_HQ > MXFP8 > FP8_svd_scaled > FP8
FP32 is mainly recommended for training purposes.
FP16 / BF16 can generate high-quality illustrations.
INT8_ConvRot_HQ offers an excellent balance of speed and quality while using roughly half the VRAM of FP16 / BF16.
MXFP8, FP8_svd_scaled, and FP8 are currently not recommended, as they are inferior to INT8_ConvRot_HQ in both speed and image quality.

Nice diversity between seeds. Perfect as a first step model in a multi-model workflow.
10 steps 2m_sde + beta makes good images that i refine with another turbo model.
Thanks for the comment!
Z-Image is lightweight yet has very few structural breakdowns, so it’s a great choice for initial composition laying. I’ll give the 2m_sde sampler a try myself too.
Good quality in general, but it blows away character lora.
