By making this an AIO, it encourages people to try it out. And it lays out a name for this combo of things...Load using the normal 'load checkpoint' node in ComfyUI, and add the usual nodes: Text Encoder for the prompt, a Sampler, a VAE Decode of the Latents and Save Image.I recommend using the Zimage Text Encoder nodes current found inside <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/fblissjr/ComfyUI-QwenImageWanBridge">https://github.com/fblissjr/ComfyUI-QwenImageWanBridge</a> as those encoders give you MUCH more control over what is sent to Josie.I'll add some sample images and workflow in a bit...Thank you to the team behind Z Image Turbo: TongyiLab Thank you to Gökdeniz Gülmez for the J.O.S.I.E project, which retrains a variety of models to behave differently. Thank you to the G-Repa folks for the VAE And a huge Thank You to the people on the Banodoco discord, including Kijai, Pom, and all of the other regulars there in the wan and zimage channels.

JoziMagic

AIO merge of stock Zturbo with a different (Josied) Qwen3 encoder, and an alternative VAE. Loadable by the normal ComfyUI checkpoint method... NON quanted for now, so full sized...
