# Kromoss

Kromoss is a full fine-tune of [MOSS-Image-Base](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Image-Base) at
1024 px. It uses the same architecture, inference pipeline, text encoder (Qwen3.5-9B) and VAE (FLUX.2 small
decoder) as [MOSS-Image-SFT](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Image-SFT), and this repo has the same
layout, so it is a drop-in replacement.

The repo also ships two 8-step turbo LoRAs distilled from MOSS-Image-Base: **8 steps, CFG 1**, no negative branch.
- `8-steps-dmd2-lora.safetensors` (recommended): the DMD LoRA below, further trained with DMD2's GAN stage against
  real images. Slightly more contrast and detail, and the best PartiPrompts score.
- `8-steps-dmd-lora.safetensors`: data-space DMD distillation.

| 50 steps, CFG 3 | 8 steps, CFG 1 + `8-steps-dmd-lora` | 8 steps, CFG 1 + `8-steps-dmd2-lora` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![50 steps](assets/cat-50steps-cfg3.webp) | ![8 steps + DMD LoRA](assets/cat-8steps-lora.webp) | ![8 steps + DMD2 LoRA](assets/cat-8steps-lora-dmd2.webp) |

Checkpoint: update 11000 of the fine-tune (EMA weights), 704k training images.

## Quick start

```bash
pip install "diffusers>=0.38" "transformers>=5.3" "accelerate>=1.10" "safetensors>=0.6" "Pillow>=10"
```

```python
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "lodestones/Kromoss",
    custom_pipeline="pipeline_moss_image",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype={"default": torch.bfloat16, "vae": torch.float32},
)
pipe.scheduler = type(pipe.scheduler).from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.to("cuda")

image = pipe(
    "a tabby cat holding a sign that says KROMOSS",
    height=1024,
    width=1024,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=3.0,
    uncond_skip_layers=[22],
    generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(42),
).images[0]
image.save("kromoss.png")
```

The transformer and text encoder use bfloat16; the VAE and initial noise use float32.

## ComfyUI

Native ComfyUI support for MOSS-Image is in current ComfyUI master. The single files use the same layout as
[Comfy-Org/MOSS-Image](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/MOSS-Image): fused `proj.qkv`, bf16.

| File | Put in | Loader |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `diffusion_models/kromoss_bf16.safetensors` | `models/diffusion_models/` | Load Diffusion Model |
| `diffusion_models/kromoss_int8_convrot.safetensors` | `models/diffusion_models/` | Load Diffusion Model (int8, 5.4 GB) |
| `text_encoders/qwen3.5_9b_bf16.safetensors` | `models/text_encoders/` | Load CLIP, type `moss_image` |
| `vae/flux2-vae_small.safetensors` | `models/vae/` | Load VAE |
| `8-steps-dmd2-lora.safetensors` | `models/loras/` | LoraLoaderModelOnly, strength 1 |
| `8-steps-dmd-lora.safetensors` | `models/loras/` | LoraLoaderModelOnly, strength 1 |

`kromoss_bf16.safetensors` drops in for `moss_image_sft_bf16.safetensors` in the
Comfy-Org workflows (50 steps, CFG 3). With either LoRA, use KSampler with `euler` / `simple`, 8 steps, CFG 1.
ComfyUI maps the LoRAs' separate q/k/v onto the fused `qkv` slices.

`convert_to_comfy.py` converts any MOSS-Image diffusers `transformer/` folder (e.g. your own fine-tune) into this
single-file format (needs only `torch` and `safetensors`):

```bash
python convert_to_comfy.py path/to/transformer my_model_bf16.safetensors
```

On MOSS-Image-SFT's `transformer/` it reproduces Comfy-Org's `moss_image_sft_bf16.safetensors` byte for byte;
`--compare FILE` checks keys, shapes and dtypes against a reference file.

`kromoss_int8_convrot.safetensors` is ConvRot W8A8, the format of Comfy-Org's `moss_image_sft_int8_convrot.safetensors`.
The 168 block linears (`proj.{qkv,o,ffn_up_gate,ffn_down}`) are stored as int8 with per-row scales, after a
256-wide regular Hadamard rotation of the input dimension. ComfyUI rebuilds the rotation at load time and applies it
to the activations online, so no rotation matrices are stored. Each block also selects ComfyUI's int8 attention.
It drops in for the int8 Comfy-Org file and works with the LoRAs. `quantize_convrot.py` makes it from a bf16 single
file; on `moss_image_sft_bf16.safetensors` it reproduces Comfy-Org's int8 file byte for byte:

```bash
python quantize_convrot.py my_model_bf16.safetensors my_model_int8_convrot.safetensors
```

## 8-step turbo LoRAs

Both were distilled from MOSS-Image-Base (50 steps, CFG 3) and transfer to Kromoss:
- `8-steps-dmd-lora.safetensors`: data-space DMD, 12000 updates.
- `8-steps-dmd2-lora.safetensors`: that run continued for 3000 updates with DMD2's second stage, a GAN
  discriminator on the fake score trained against real images, at a quarter of the learning rate.

Both are fp32, rank 128 / alpha 128 on every block's `proj.{q,k,v,o,ffn_up_gate,ffn_down}`, with kohya keys
(`diffusion_model.<module>.lora_down.weight` / `lora_up.weight` / `alpha`). Use one at a time. In ComfyUI, load it
with a LoRA loader at strength 1. With diffusers, apply it unmerged. Do not merge it into the bf16 weights: the
delta is close to bf16's rounding step. 4 steps also works.

```python
from safetensors.torch import load_file

def apply_lora(transformer, path, strength=1.0):
    state = load_file(path, device="cuda")
    modules = dict(transformer.named_modules())
    for key in [k for k in state if k.endswith(".lora_down.weight")]:
        name = key[len("diffusion_model."):-len(".lora_down.weight")]
        down, up = state[key].float(), state[key.replace("lora_down", "lora_up")].float()
        scale = strength * state[f"diffusion_model.{name}.alpha"].item() / down.shape[0]
        def hook(module, args, out, down=down, up=up, scale=scale):
            return out + (scale * (args[0].float() @ down.T) @ up.T).to(out.dtype)
        modules[name].register_forward_hook(hook)

apply_lora(pipe.transformer, "8-steps-dmd2-lora.safetensors")   # hf_hub_download("lodestones/Kromoss", ...)
image = pipe(prompt, height=1024, width=1024, num_inference_steps=8, guidance_scale=1.0,
             generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(42)).images[0]
```

  - hybrid Muon-AdamW, lr 9e-6, warmup 200;
  - truncated logit-normal timesteps;
  - final-block q/k-norm decay to one;
  - EMA 0.999 (the published weights are the EMA).
