# Z-Image Turbo

ID: tongyi-mai/z-image-turbo
Type: image generation
Vendor: Tongyi-MAI
Released: 2025-11-25
Commercial use: allowed
Description: Tongyi-MAI Z-Image-Turbo is the distilled 6B Z-Image variant optimized for fast text-to-image generation (~8 steps), photorealism, and bilingual text rendering.

## Modes and inputs
- Text → Image (`txt->img`)
  - Prompt only, no input images

## Output
- Aspect ratios: 1:1, 9:7, 7:9, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, 9:21. Other ratios snap to the closest one. Without `size` (or with `"auto"`), Mynth picks a ratio for the prompt.
- 4K: no
- Negative prompt: not supported (dropped, no error)

## Pricing (USD)
- Per image: $0.010
- Only successful results are charged.

## Usage
Set the request's `model` field to `tongyi-mai/z-image-turbo`. Always pass it explicitly.
