These changes are experimental by nature. Rather than folding unproven adjustments into the mainline release, Catalyst exists as a separate track so the standard release stays stable while this build gets real-world testing. Think of it as the skunkworks branch.<hr />⚙️ Personal Settings (Forge Neo) <img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/3ae005d1-1537-46ae-8e01-ec48dc033d30/original=true/3ae005d1-1537-46ae-8e01-ec48dc033d30.jpeg" /><h3 id="required-additional-files">Required Additional Files</h3>Make sure you also have the following: 16 GB+ VRAM: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/z_image_turbo/resolve/main/split_files/text_encoders/qwen_3_4b.safetensors?download=true">qwen3_4b.safetensors</a> 8–12 GB VRAM: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/cyberdelia/FluxTextEnc_VAE/resolve/main/qwen3_4b_fp8_scaled.safetensors?download=true">qwen34bfp8_scaled.safetensors</a> All VRAM sizes VAE: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/z_image_turbo/resolve/main/split_files/vae/ae.safetensors?download=true">ae.safetensors</a><hr />This model is shared as-is, for users who enjoy experimenting, benchmarking, and pushing models outside the comfort zone.Feedback, findings, and edge cases are welcome - this release exists primarily to learn from real-world usage.

This initial build focuses on improved compatibility with a wider range of LoRAs, alongside skin, color, and bug fix improvements carried over from the standard Z-Image Turbo. If you find LoRA compatibility to be lacking in this version, you may want to try V0.7, which in some cases offers more stable LoRA performance.
