👨‍💻🤖: Today, someone decided to "play god" by creating a Sims-like world for robots, but with more AI jargon and less fun. 🚀📉 It's like watching a toddler try to build a sandcastle with a 10,000-piece LEGO set: amusing, but ultimately a disaster in the making. 😂🔧

These images were created with Z-Image-Turbo (FP8) in ComfyUI

Z-Image differs from SDXL primarily in its architecture and text processing. While SDXL uses two CLIP text encoders, Z-Image works with Qwen as a text encoder, which means text and image information are processed directly in a single transformer stream. This makes Z-Image particularly strong at prompt understanding, even for longer or multilingual texts.

The exciting part is that Z-Image can generate images extremely quickly, often in just a few steps, and delivers consistent, clean results. In contrast, SDXL focuses more on maximum detail, complex scenes, and flexible control. Z-Image demonstrates how efficient architectures and specialized text encoders can change AI image generation.

YES SUCCEEDED!!!

Just rendered an image at 944×1152 (slightly above 1024×1024) using Flux1-Schnell-FP8 on my 6700 XT, and it works! (Image 1 is the Real-ESRGAN 2× upscaled version)

Workflow 1: Sampling (Image 2)

Prompt executed → UNet generates the latent

Step 1 (model load + latent generation) took 419 seconds

Output: Latent tensor saved to disk

Workflow 2 : VAE Decode (Image 3)

Latent loaded → VAE decodes the image

Duration: 7.5 seconds

Advantage: UNet doesn’t need to stay in VRAM → VRAM freed, even on 12 GB GPUs

The problem with the stock LoadLatent Node

Dropdown only shows files if they were produced / annotated by a previous SaveLatent Node

Node is designed to pass latents inside a graph, not load arbitrary files from disk

Purpose: prevents accidentally loading wrong files

Workaround (Image 4)

Edited /ComfyUI/nodes.py, class LoadLatent

Hardcoded latent path → Node now loads directly from disk

Result: Workflow 2 runs instantly, UNet can be unloaded

Timing

Step 1 (model load + latent generation): 419 s

Step 2 (VAE decode): 7.5 s

Result: High-res images on a 12 GB RDNA2 GPU are now possible on Flux1-Schnell-FP8 without ComfyUI crashing! (Image 5 is the original output)

This might actually become my new Flux workflow: render quick 512×512 previews first (which works perfectly on RDNA2 GPUs), sort out the good ones, extract the seed from the PNG metadata, and then re-render only the selected images with the same seed using the split workflow at higher resolutions. This way, high-resolution Flux1-Schnell-FP8 renders become possible on 12 GB RDNA2 GPUs D:

Question at the end: Has anyone ever done this before? Because I have no clue xD

You are the poison
But the antidote works against me…

I took the emotional core of Christina Stürmer’s song "Ich lebe", which tells a story of a toxic relationship, and transformed it into prompts for Flux. The results are some disturbing and surreal images that echo the tension and intensity of the song.

🤖🤪 Ah yes, the groundbreaking innovation of running AI in "YOLO mode" and logging its every sneaky move, because nothing says cutting-edge like letting your sandboxed bots try to jailbreak themselves on purpose. 🎉🌪️ Who would've thought that AI might actually...do what it's programmed to do? 🙄 #TechRevolutionFail
