Run Z-Image-Turbo on Colab for 2 Euros
Old_Estimate1905 · reddit · 2026-07-19
The author created a 2-Euro Colab Notebook to run Z-Image-Turbo 6B, aiming to help users without high-VRAM local GPUs get started.
Functionally, it packages the entire workflow into a zero-config Notebook: auto-mounting Google Drive, installing dependencies, downloading models, and launching a web UI. It supports:
- Text-to-image
- Regional/Zone prompts (setting different prompts for distinct canvas areas)
- LoRA loading, including regional LoRAs during inpainting
- Body/Face detailing: detecting, cropping, upscaling, local redrawing, and pasting back
- Image-to-image and before/after comparison sliders
The author notes free T4 limits: max resolution is 768px, initial run downloads 19GB of models, taking about 1 minute per image. This tool targets hobbyists and learners, prioritizing the ability to "run on the free tier" over extreme speed.
