Z-Image is literally made by Alibaba, c’mon now. While you do get access to the weights, and you can tweak it to your liking, you don’t get access to the bulk of the training data that was used to train it, and the corporations are still making the foundation model.
I’ll concede that your workflow is definitely way better than booting up a closed-weight model running remotely via API though.
please explain how running an open model like Z-Image on my machine normalizes corporate-owned tools, I’ll wait https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo

Ok it’s made by Alibaba, you don’t get access to original training data and how does any of that actually matter?
