> **Juggernaut Z Fast** is the speed-focused release of Juggernaut Z. It keeps the cinematic, polished Juggernaut look while targeting **4-step generation** for lower latency and lower compute cost. Think of it as the Fast/Turbo-style companion to the full Juggernaut Z release.
This repository hosts the official RunDiffusion Fast release artifacts: Fast safetensors variants and GGUF quantizations. The Diffusers export will be added at the repository root when available.
---
## Why Fast
- **4-step generation** for quick iteration and lower cost
- Strong Juggernaut Z visual identity with cinematic lighting and polished composition
- Better fit for high-volume workflows where the full model's 25-45 step range is too slow
- Useful for previewing, concept passes, product mockups, social content, and fast prompt exploration
- Available in full Fast weights, FP16, FP8, and GGUF quantized variants
## Recommended Settings
| Parameter | Recommendation |
| --- | --- |
| Steps | `4` |
| Workflow | Use a Fast/Turbo-compatible Z-Image workflow |
| CFG | Start with the workflow default; avoid full-model high-step settings |
| Use case | Fast previews, lower-cost production passes, text-layout checks, product and portrait exploration |
The full Juggernaut Z model is still the better choice when you want slower high-step refinement. Use this Fast release when speed and cost matter.

## Diffusers
A Fast Diffusers export is planned. When added, it will use the same root-level component layout as `RunDiffusion/Juggernaut-Z-Image`:
```text
model_index.json
transformer/
text_encoder/
tokenizer/
vae/
scheduler/
```
Until then, use the standalone Fast `.safetensors` variants with the workflow that matches your local inference stack, or use the `.gguf` variants with a GGUF-compatible runtime.
