Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • They're based on the 2K upscaler with Z-Image Turbo.
  • The upscaling step has been removed, and the model has been swapped for the int8.convrot version of Z-Image Turbo.
  • You can easily add it to KREA 2 Turbo and Qwen-Image-Edit workflows, with only a small increase in processing time.
  • Performance (1024×1024) KREA2 Turbo+ Z image Turbo: ~9.5 seconds for a second-generation image on an RTX 5070 Ti; ~19 seconds on an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.
