Z-Image-Turbo — OpenVINO INT8
OpenVINO IR (INT8) conversion of Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo (6B single-stream DiT, 8-step).
Why OpenVINO?
- Runs on any CPU with no CUDA/NVIDIA dependency, plus GPU acceleration where available (AMD, Nvidia, Intel)
- INT8 weights fit 8GB VRAM cards; 8-step Turbo stays sub-second
- Smaller downloads vs BF16 checkpoints
