# Z-Image-Turbo Nunchaku Lite INT4 r32
Diffusers-loadable conversion of:
- Base model: `Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo`
- Source repo: `nunchaku-ai/nunchaku-z-image-turbo`
- Source checkpoint: `svdq-int4_r32-z-image-turbo.safetensors`
The transformer uses `quant_method: nunchaku_lite`, INT4 SVDQ, group size 64, rank 32, and 238 quantized targets. Packed fused QKV and SwiGLU projections are split in logical layout into the stock Z-Image graph. The Qwen3 text encoder is packaged with BitsAndBytes 4-bit NF4.
## Benchmark
| Checkpoint | Latency | Max VRAM |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Converted Diffusers Nunchaku Lite INT4 r32 + BNB4 Qwen3 | 6.03 s (stdev 0.00 s) | 12.01 GiB |
RTX 5090, 1024×1024, 9 scheduler steps (8 DiT forwards), guidance scale 0, seed 42, one warmup and three measured runs. VRAM is peak total device usage sampled through `nvidia-smi`. The native row uses the base model's BF16 Qwen3 encoder.
## Output Comparison

Both images use the same prompt, seed, scheduler, resolution, and step count. Native Nunchaku 1.x selects NVFP4 kernels on Blackwell, so the comparison uses native NVFP4 as a visual reference only (cross-precision MAE 23.37, RMSE 30.81).
## Run
Requires the Hugging Face `kernels` package and an NVIDIA Turing, Ampere, Ada, or Blackwell (not Hopper) GPU.
