    MOSS Image is a 5B parameter text-to-image DiT from the OpenMOSS team, built for accurate in-image text, layout control and long prompts. It pairs a Qwen3.5 9B text encoder with the FLUX.2 VAE, accepts prompts of up to 4K tokens in natural language, booru-style tags or a JSON layout, and renders from 512px up to 2K at any aspect ratio.

    Originally released by OpenMOSS on Hugging Face. All credit for the model goes to the OpenMOSS team. Civitai hosts a mirror so creators can generate with it on-site and train against it. Head to the original repo for the reference pipeline, the user guide and updates.

    Two versions

    • SFT is the supervised fine-tune of Base on curated data. OpenMOSS recommends it for generation: cleaner text grouping and more organised layouts.

    • Base is the undistilled base model with no post-training. OpenMOSS recommends it for fine-tuning and LoRA training. LoRAs trained on Base can also be used on SFT, with partial compatibility.

    Both run at 50 steps with CFG 3 (raise it for short prompts), flow-matching Euler, shift 5. OpenMOSS recommends English prompts; Chinese and other languages are supported. Use line breaks and quotes around text you want rendered.

    Files

    Each version carries the diffusion model in bf16 and int8, from the Comfy-Org repackage. The Qwen3.5 text encoder and FLUX.2 VAE ship in the same repo. The original Diffusers weights are at MOSS-Image-Base and MOSS-Image-SFT.

    Generating on Civitai

    Both versions are in the Civitai generator for text-to-image, with steps, CFG and a negative prompt exposed. JSON layout prompts work as plain prompt text. Image editing and reference images are not part of this release.

    I'm never optimistic about newer models, but this is THE model kids, remember to use BBox, and for creators do your stuff and start creating LoRA's, this model has the potential to replace Krea 2

    @Lynx2025 Model is insane, my Krea prompts are simplistisc AF (I don't use LLM's) but this model understands basically the most basic stuff and it gets right, it has some deformation with fingers and sometimes it gets body horror's but I believe that is a issue with the turbo LoRA, but with time it will be a great model.

    It knows many characters and concepts (best NSFW base model yet), but prompting is hard: results are unstable with many artifacts. Maybe a good skill with decent LLM can make it right, utilizing it's 4K context window (Krea 2 only has 512)

    This is, to date, the most knowledge-rich open-source text-to-image model (for realistic).

    It is capable of handling both anime and realistic styles, and it is uncensored. Although there are occasional issues with limb structure, I believe it will only get better in the future.

    This is a nice little model, size wise, cause in terms of realism it can give Qwen2.1 a run for their money. I still like Anima more but I've heard they're working on Anime targeted version.

    This model has potential.

    Out of the box, its uncensored and shows decent prompt adherence to both tags and natural language. It's got bounding boxes which enable more complex compositions as well.

    I've not got it to work with artist style tags, so I'm guessing they were pruned from the dataset.

    With a good finetune, this would overshadow Anima, however, I'm interested to know what differences in training methodology would this model require. Guess it's time to take a look at the paper.

    r3cOct 17, 2026· 2 reactions

    Edit: Turbo lora in comments, generation times is now 1/10th of what it was, quality is also great (bit softer skins and some defmored legs - higher steps ~25 will fix the skin).

    Generations are too Slow (+100seconds). needs turbo lora.
    Quality is really good tho, one of if not the best.

    quality above speed, Turbo loras kill quality, the model is fast to begin with if you play with the settings and have a capable GPU

    infernahermit846Oct 17, 2026

    @hRUSTIN474 Every model is fast if you have a capable gpu, thats not the point and we dont have capable gpus. also the lora with 15 to 25 steps generates superb images with high quality and since we are using 1 CFG it's fast.

    aj_prime8517Oct 17, 2026· 1 reaction

    @infernahermit846 other option is to use the lora with 8 steps and CFG 3 that is I use with my images, in generation time should be equivalent to 16 steps with CFG 1, I don't know which combination provide better quality (concept that on the other hand is subjective) and maybe it will depend on the kind of images are generated, for instance I don't usually generate realistic images of people

    infernahermit846Oct 17, 2026· 1 reaction

    @aj_prime8517 True. for me any CFG higher than 1 burns the image a little bit but at 15 to 25 steps gives me a really high quality output. it's fine with 8 step 1cfg but body hair, grass becomes plastic(ish) and skin gets too soft.

    But for cartoon/3d looking stuff cfg3 works really well, like the bee you made.

    This model just killed Anima

    Update:
    1: Content
    This model is impressive, it was trained on a lot of booru stuff
    It can do 2D anime style, 3D cgi style and even realism very well

    2: Prompting
    This model can process prompts from very complicated and descriptive to simple tags like SDXL
    It can accept simple and even vague prompts, unlike Anima where you HAVE to be very descriptive if you want a good result
    It accepts negative prompts

    3: The good
    It uses very little vram, I don't know what dark magic the devs used for this but somehow it's running on about 6GB on q8 gguf

    completely uncensored, so you will not have to run some lora or a modified model that ends up messing with the weights
    And you will not suffer with incompatible loras because someone changed a 0,0001 to 0,00015 on some obscure setting on a merging tool

    4: The bad
    It's a bit slow, not Qwen image 2.1 slow, but noticeable
    there are 8 steps and 4 steps loras right now, so it can be bearable

    (On the 4steps lora i had to run on 6 steps to get a good result, so that's just 2 steps less than the 8 steps lora)

    when prompting, some times you will have to be a bit forceful to get the style you want
    For example, i was trying to make a mecha girl, for some reason it kept defaulting to Gundan
    I had to play around with the promp for a bit to get a result that wasn't gundan related

    It tends to add a focus effect on things
    you basically have to tell it to not do that
    Very often it focuses on the main subject and leaves everything else unfocused
    You will notice that

    Some times it generates extra limbs, legs most of the time

    On text rendering...
    Krea, Qwen image and even Zimage can casually render text
    MOSS you have to specify the text, where and how it's going to be
    Else you'll have a bunch of gibberish text
    Not as bad as IL but meaningless

    No image editing besides using a reference to an end result

    Conclusion:
    I don't know how it compares to Krea 2/3 or Qwen Image 2.1
    For sure it does not reach them on quality
    but beats them on speed

    This model kills Anima and IL

    vram, size, quality, speed, prompting, diversity of content and general features
    I believe this will become the default for many people as Anima is quite dumb and IL can't do text or realism very well

    What i expect for the future:
    Turbo model, It's preferable to a turbo lora
    SVDQuant, I don't expect the developers to make that, but i can't wait for someone to do it
    Anime focused model, I prefer how it is right now as it can hit many different styles, but i know many people like anime style models and it would completely end Anima

    Extra:
    Clip skip is useless, it just makes images foggy
    don't even bother touching that setting

    GodGooner69Oct 17, 2026

    Same people are focusing on an anime version. Imagine that.

    danilen52Oct 17, 2026· 1 reaction

    @DaddysLilMistake Yeah, but it's always better to use a lora for that as it will always give a better result
    One thing i like a lot is that it's able to get characters very well
    I even tested on some obscure characters and the model was able to make them

    AnistasiataOct 17, 2026

    @DaddysLilMistake Had a feeling "kills Anima" was a bit overstated.

    lifelessdummyOct 18, 2026

    Am I missing something? I've done a lot of tests, and at it is right now (only for anime), Anima is MILES better in overall quality. Strange, becuse I could say everything you just said, but swapping the two models. Animadoesn't need expensive prompting at all for me. However, I am super excited, because the model is still still new and they are going to release an anime version of it.

    Official node pack doesnt have a custom scheduler node

    mphobbitOct 17, 2026

    I'm not a comfy user but according to Grok:


    1. Create a folder for the node

    Bash

    cd /path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
    mkdir my_moss_scheduler   # or any name you like


    2. Put the .py file inside

    Copy your ready Python file into the new folder, for example:

    text

    custom_nodes/my_moss_scheduler/moss_scheduler.py

    3. Create init.py

    In the same folder create a file named exactly init.py with content like this (adjust the import and class name to match your file):

    Python

    from .moss_scheduler import YourSchedulerClassName   # change to the actual class name inside the .py
    
    NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {
        "MOSS Custom Scheduler": YourSchedulerClassName,   # the key is the internal name
    }
    
    # Optional – nicer name that appears in the menu
    NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS = {
        "MOSS Custom Scheduler": "MOSS Custom Scheduler",
    }
    
    __all__ = ["NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS", "NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS"]

    How to find the class name: Open the .py file and look for a class that has:

    INPUT_TYPES (or the newer define_schema)

    RETURN_TYPES (often ("SIGMAS",))

    FUNCTION = "get_sigmas" or similar

    CATEGORY = "sampling/custom_sampling/schedulers" (or similar)

    Use that class name in the import.

    4. Restart ComfyUI completely

    Close the server and start it again. Refresh the browser (Ctrl+F5).

    After restart, search for the node name in the node menu (right-click → Add Node, or the search bar). It should appear under the category defined in the file (usually sampling/custom_sampling/schedulers).

    5. How to use it

    Most custom scheduler nodes output a SIGMAS tensor. Typical wiring:

    Connect your MODEL (and steps / denoise if the node asks for them) into the custom scheduler node.

    Connect the SIGMAS output into a SamplerCustom, SamplerCustomAdvanced, or KSamplerAdvanced (the sigmas input).

    Do not use the normal scheduler dropdown on a regular KSampler when you feed custom sigmas.

    Quick checklist if it doesn’t appear

    Look at the ComfyUI console / terminal for import errors (red text).

    Make sure the folder contains both the .py file and init.py.

    Class name and import must match exactly (case-sensitive).

    No syntax errors in the Python file.

    If the file already contains NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS at the bottom, you can sometimes just drop the single .py into custom_nodes/, but the folder + init.py method is more reliable

    I'm using my Intel Arc b580.

    (Intel cards) For fast enough int8 you should rewrite default pytorch int8 processing - asked AI to do it. Currently 1.5 seconds per step (was 4 seconds per step in int8 initially), but can be better as bf16 is initially 1.5 seconds per step without any improvements - it just have better software support. I have used only free coding agents for it. Waiting for limits lift to continue optimization.

    2. VAE differences

    Official ComfyUI packages use the full FLUX.2 VAE, which is different from the one used in our official ckpt. We use a smaller decoder version to help eliminate some strange artifacts and spots in generated images. This shouldn't have any noticeable impact on inference efficiency.

    Considerung its size its a really good model although its inferior to krea 2 in terms of image quality. Definitely better than qwen 2.1 and flux 3 klein. Im talking about straight t2i here. It would probably surpass krea 2 if it had double or triple the parameters.

    makiaeveliOct 18, 2026· 1 reaction

    you can get it to Krea2 with doubling the image size and step count. Like around 3-4MP it is kind of insane. It will be slightly rough sometimes, but when it works it's indistinguishable. Well that's not true, this looks better because of how human the people look. However Krea2 is still better at very technical anatomy or with more than two people. I honestly think the low parameter size is what helps it be so realistic, it is able to combine many different concepts when you ask for one, so the output looks more like you'd expect. It's a balance game, I think. This low parameter count does mean we miss out on more accurate copy-righted material though, which Im sure people will dislike in the anime/cartoon space.

    Shio_NOct 18, 2026· 1 reaction

    krea 2 worth nothing... Even SD1.5 is more creative than krea. Not sure why people want to generate the same images with slightly different content. Each new result feels like previous and better anatomy/quality don't help when it's initially no what I want to see. Even here... "Base" is much better than "SFT" in terms of creativity, but people still use that horrible finetune that generates very similar content.

    makiaeveliOct 19, 2026

    @Shio_N Krea2 you can manipulate noise schedules to increase seed variance. But models like qwen or zit or Klein really struggle with it. Chroma is the only other model that has gotten close to this (MOSS)

    makiaeveliOct 18, 2026· 1 reaction

    @Bergamoth like in the files on your computer. "ComfyUI_portable/update/update_comfyUI.bat". IF you don't have windows you can just open the script and run the python script in that same folder with arguments presented in that bat file. I think when it didn't work this time, I ran the "stable" script, then the just "update" script. Make sure to close the windows and everything. Sometimes restarting the computer helps if for some reason it doesn't still work. But if it is still "broken" after those two things, you could try forcing it with the "git pull" command, but you should ask google real quick to get the branch right.

    @Yahoo384 I'm not using the portable version. As makiaeveli said it is basically an update all, it pulls the latest commit from the comfyui github. In your terminal start the venv you use for comfy (if you are using one), make sure you are in your main comfyui directory inside the terminal for example home/comfyui and just type "git pull" and hit enter, it will update comfy to the latest version.

    For 5B checkpoint it's even great, can be compared with ZIT/ZIB with more parameters. Don't ask about FLUX Klein, 2 and 3. Just forget them.

    It has various minuses in textures but TBH, I don't look at them because the subj is a loyal to weak GPUs with good perfomance. SDXL/SD1.5 were also poor someday.

    Previews for "base" may look worse, but it's actually much more capable. SFT feels like a model with DMD lora - very similar images, but you still need 50 steps. It looks like that finetune had a very small dataset.

    i'm getting good images with sft at 30 steps. i just have to give the model a 2mp latent to work with... ymmv

    s055599632Oct 19, 2026

    @tedbiv Thanks for this idea. Had to use my custom-edited version of the "Resize seed from" feature in Forge Neo (the original version has been broken for 4D models) to do the same idea, but that overall improved generation for me at lower output resolutions, along with a slight cfg bump.

    I don't know what kind of magic everyone is using, but my gens don't look right in either SFT or base. I get really ugly faces, cursed limbs, and so many anatomical horrors in both photos and anime. Using official and unofficial workflows might I add.

    I've been getting atrocious results with the Turbo LoRA too, but at least with that one, I somehow managed to crank it up to 1.20 and lower the denoise to 0.94. I've been getting much better images after that.

    s055599632Oct 19, 2026

    Per their prompting guide, the recommended "worst quality, bad anatomy, watermark, jpeg artifact" negative tags (you can leave out or put in the nsfw in first slot as needed) and putting CFG up past 3 if you have a short prompt are pretty important. I got pretty awful results until I added those on SFT, base is still a horror show with the same level of detail in the prompt, I'd probably have to put in a lot more specificity to get the same out of base.

    If this is just the beginning, you should definitely be proud of this model. Excellent versatility even in editing...! Yes, I even tried a Lora edit model to convert anime to real photography and it worked great. 50 steps is slow for my old system, at 25 steps the results are acceptable, but with Turbo Lora, this monster shows its true nature. Excellent results even with low steps. I have not seen the degree of freedom of this model in any early model. I am very eager to see how the friends polish this gem.

    The depth of field, bokeh, or blur that by default applies to photos is unbearable.

    It seems to be a structural problem with the model.

    makiaeveliOct 19, 2026

    it's fundamentally your prompt style and negatives. Try out some common negatives like "blurry, out of focus," and make sure your CFG is at least 2, I've had more luck at 3 or 4 with some prompts. If it still blurs, you need to make sure your prompt isn't accidently triggering these things with improper uses of "movement", "focus", "central", etc. That blur you keep seeing is actually fundamentally a strength of the model, it has good understanding of direction and perspective if you find the right words

    TalancaOct 22, 2026

    @makiaeveli What is the way to obtain an image without background blur? The blur even appears on parts of the subject's own body. Could this be a mechanism from the original MOSS model—designed to emphasize text over images—that is affecting the generation process?

    My library of prompts, which produces correct images in Krea2, Z-Image Turbo, Chroma, and Flux using the exact same prompts, does not exhibit this issue. I can copy&paste the same basic prompts across different models, and they don’t deliberately emphasize or blur elements in the image.

    makiaeveliOct 22, 2026

    @Talanca the older models didn't have as good of control over movement, thats what im saying. most of my prompts start with "raw, unedited, crisp amateur photograph of", and most of my negatives starts with " blurry, out of focus, low resolution, low quality, jpeg artifacts, oversaturated, overexposed, underexposed,". If you're using CFG 1, you won't get the negatives, so that could be a problem. I am also using all of danrisi's loras with a low strength of just 0.2, which stabilizes prompts as well. A bunch of my day 1 outputs had blur too, but adding the CFG/negatives and the loras, I only get blurs on movement. If you mention movement at all, expect blur unless you prompt it away.

    looking through my photos, I can see like half of them half background bokeh blur and the others don't. It's really about your prompts. like if i wanted to get rid of these blurs i'd say like "static camera, high depth of field, f/22". If you include "DSLR" that can help, but might get more magazine like. I rarely use "cinematic" that will add so much processing. "background blur" could refer to either depth of field or movement. I kinda was expecting you have movement blur, but it very well could be depth of field. This model really likes adding depth of field because the default action is to try and "focus" on what you've prompted. That's why people report heads and stuff getting cut out. It's really wants to find that focal point.

    it's not about "text placement", but you're almost there. It's about having better tags/training prompts. It's literally just applying styles to your photos that used to be associated differently. This model just has more control you need to prompt for.

    3. Prompt adherence is really, really great and it knows a lot

    EDIT: okay i'm really sorry, it is NOT the model's fault to begin with! After all, the issue lies in 8-step LORA. BE ADVISED if you use it - it extremely damages patters, at least lower its weight to 0.5-0.7 and extend your steps to 12 (it works much better for me, not perfect but for okay for speed generations, still worse than normal 40steps though)

    Mkay so, did anyone else notice the issue with stone textures in this model?
    It feels like taken from some cheap Unity horror game somehow or something like that, very weird and glossy and overall strange. Both in realistic and anime style too, so it is not a style issue.

    UPD - not only stone lol. I've tried some outdoor variations and both earth and fire tend to feel like "procedural generation" somehow, kinda way too template, dunno how to even explain it properly.

    I feel MOSS has some aesthetic limitations owing to its compact parameter count, but thanks to the 9B CLIP encoder, it's remarkably easy to prompt and a lot of fun to experiment with.

    I would not say it has that much aesthetic limitations on its own. SFT model has an issue of trading aesthetic flexibility for stability (Mostly it comes to it being naturally predispositioned to realism), yes, so if you seek a more flexible styling, it's better to use base model.

    Model's very unreliable for short-ish prompts (like, very), but this is one of the two reasons it "gave me back" the will to try new prompts, the second being that it takes only 50 seconds on my PC to generate an image. Despite the iffyness, it's an extremely fun model to deal with, feels once again like those times when SD1.4 came out.

    Much smaller model than Krea2 and a bigger model than Anima. Obviously not that good at anime as Anima, since it was not trained only with anime in mind (it does know some things), but they said they will release anime model later. As for Krea2, it is hard to compare them in terms of capabilities, but I think Moss Image is obviously more uncensored in comparison (even though it says in report that there was filtering in some dataset). Krea2 is also more stylized in my opinion.
