A Reddit user conducted a comparison of Z-Image Turbo models quantized to 2-bit and 3-bit precision, running on a modest hardware setup including a 4GB VRAM 750 Ti GPU and an i5-4590 CPU. The user found that both quantization levels maintained text rendering and comprehension capabilities, though specific prompting was required. The test involved generating an image of a cat holding a sign with precise text, with generation times around 18-19 seconds per step over 4 steps. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates that lower-bit quantization of image generation models can maintain text rendering capabilities, potentially enabling wider accessibility on less powerful hardware.
