Z-Mania: The First Selective DiT/FLOW Merge Model
https://civitai.com/models/2231360/z-mania
Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to share the results of a powerful new merging technique for Z-Image Turbo (ZIT) and other FLOW/DiT architectures.
The Tool Used: DiT Selective Merger Node
The creation of Z-Mania was made possible by a new, powerful ComfyUI Custom Node that allows for layer-by-layer merging of DiT/FLOW models. This tool was developed specifically for this project, allowing unparalleled precision over the fusion process.
The required .py script for this Custom Node is included in the model's download files. Simply place the DiTSelectiveMerger.py file into your ComfyUI custom_nodes folder to install it!
Comparison: Z-Mania vs. Z-Image Turbo (ZIT)
Check out the side-by-side comparison below to see the difference in aesthetic and coherence that targeted merging provides.

📝 Next Steps
Model Release: Z-Mania is currently undergoing final quality testing and will be released here on Civitai soon.
Node Release: The DiT Selective Merger ComfyUI node is being packaged for public release, allowing you to create your own high-precision DiT merges!
