Summary

InvokeAI v6.10.0rc2 introduces significant backend support for the Z-Image-Turbo model family and adds several major quality-of-life features, including a Hotkey Editor, Workflow Tags, and bulk operations in the Model Manager.

Migration Steps

  1. To use Z-Image Turbo models, go to the Models tab and launch the "Z-Image Turbo" bundle from the Launchpad, or select individual models from the Starter Models tab.
  2. When using quantized ZIT models (e.g., Q4_K), ensure the standalone Qwen3 encoder and a Flux VAE model are installed (this is handled automatically when installing a ZIT starter model).
  3. Access the new Hotkey Editor via the Settings (gear) menu in the bottom left, then select Hotkeys.
  4. To use Workflow Tags, go to Details on the current workflow and enter a comma-delimited list of tags.

✨ New Features

  • Introduced backend support for the Z-Image-Turbo (ZIT) image generation model family, supporting various formats including diffusers, safetensors, GGUF, and quantized versions (FP8 models are currently unsupported and may cause artifacts).
  • Added Workflow Tags feature, allowing users to add comma-delimited text tags to workflows for easier filtering in the workflow browser.
  • Introduced a new Prompt Template Node in the Workflow Editor to apply built-in or custom prompt style templates.
  • Implemented a new user interface for editing hotkeys, allowing assignment of shortcuts to major UI functions.
  • Enabled bulk operations (currently Delete) in the Model Manager tab for selecting multiple models.
  • Added Masked Area Extraction in the Canvas: ability to extract an arbitrary portion of visible raster layers covered by the Inpaint Mask as a new raster layer.
  • Added support for generating PBR maps (Normal, Displacement, and Roughness) from any image via a right-click context menu.
  • Added new experimental schedulers (Heun and LCM) for FLUX models (in addition to Euler).
  • Added SDXL Color Compensation option to mitigate color drift during sequential SDXL image2image operations.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue causing directory path leakage on scan folder errors.
  • Fixed an issue preventing loading of fp16 variant ControlNets.
