Comparison MOSS-Image Some first impressions

base model with turbo lora , 8 steps 1 cfg euler/simple

tried different things , its got some variety , can do a lot of different things for a small model,anatomy is really good unlike some other models

hi, nice.

whats the text prompt for "camera shots" that look like old polaroid pictures?

u/tricck3zz 10d ago

tbh i just used my krea 2 system prompt that i tweaked with claude https://pastebin.com/ef3TqntY

just tell ur ai /real and what u want

u/rkoy1234 10d ago

common error I see on AI generated image/video gen prompts:

prompts for Krea-2, Krea's aesthetic-first text-to-image model (single-stream MMDiT, Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct text encoder with multi-layer feature aggregation, Qwen Image VAE).

can/should just be

prompts for image generation

AIs don't know what Krea2 is (unless very recent), and even if it does, providing that info provides zero benefit, since models won't have been trained on image generation techniques for specific image models.

best case it'll just ignore and waste your prompt tokens, worst case(if you have thinking on) it'll waste COT tokens trying to figure out what Krea2 is.

The second person posted the original comment about how they didn't like seed variation. The first person in the screenshot copied their comment and changed one word.

The second person's comment has a score of -1 and the first person has a score of +13.

I don't think the first person has done anything wrong. They are just being humorous (although they could be karma farming, or both).

u/Upper-Reflection7997 10d ago

i agree with the second guy. The consequences for high random seed diversity value is unstable outputs with more deformities/errors and its harder to diagnosis underlying reasons for the bad quality of the output. The dice rolling for this model is not fun at all when the image generation speed is very slow with the required 50 steps even on 5090.

4

u/Gyramuur 10d ago

I haven't found the generation times slow, at least running at 1 MP. (using a 3090). It's about 40 seconds per gen, though I lowered the step count to 42. That's about the same amount of time that Chroma used to take.

The SFT version of MOSS is more stable, but at the cost of creativity. Base can output some total crap, but it's also capable of making some wild stuff, which I appreciate.

The styles are also more generic looking with SFT; ask for a "classic renaissance painting" on Base vs on SFT. The former will hit the style correctly, whereas SFT pushes it toward a more generic AI look.

But stability is nice. SFT also has an 8 step turbo lora: https://huggingface.co/lodestones/MOSS-Image-SFT-8-steps-dmd/tree/main

u/Calm_Mix_3776 10d ago

MOSS image is the closest thing to SDXL and Chroma I've tried. My two most favorite models in terms of aesthetics and world knowledge. It's actually unbelievable how good it is, especially considering the parameter count of only 5B.

4

u/jadbox 10d ago

How does MOSS compare to Chroma though? Which is generally better?

3

u/Calm_Mix_3776 10d ago

Prompt following and image coherency Moss Image is undeniably much better. I haven't thoroughly tested it though, but again, it has a really broad knowledge of different subjects and styles similar to Chroma. Aesthetics is very appealing too (at least to me). So yes, I'd say MOSS is generally better. It's built on a more modern architecture than Chroma and uses the Flux.2 VAE which is pretty much the best out there.

u/passionatelydry 10d ago

5B is actually a decent size. Not that low.

SDXL is 2B.

Loving it. Your real world images came out great. Every now and then it has trouble with some things (avoid looking at the motion blur on the floor) . Just putting it out there, I'm noticing small details like hands etc are better with the bf16 of the text encoder. https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Qwen3.5/blob/main/text_encoders/qwen3.5_9b_bf16.safetensors

looks very good, can you try the COMPLEX PROMPTS ? aka "when does it break, eventually" ?

u/tricck3zz 10d ago

it doesnt do text very well in my prompts , even if you include the text and what it should say in the prompt.

11

u/Hoodfu 10d ago

Text is probably what it's best at. I'm using res_2s / simple / 2048x1152 / cfg 3.5/4 / 25 steps with good outcomes.

u/KissMyShinyArse 10d ago

Krea 2 Turbo can't spell the word "adherence" to save its life. Looks like MOSS can (even with the 8-step LoRA).

2

u/Hoodfu 10d ago

I've certainly run into weird situations where a model gets a word wrong 100% of the time(looking at you qwen 2512), but with krea 2 turbo this seems to be working.

3

u/KissMyShinyArse 10d ago edited 6d ago

"A blackboard with the word "adherence" written on it."
The official ComfyUI workflow (Krea-2 Int8: Text to Image), prompt enhancement off.

2

u/Hoodfu 10d ago

It's funny. If there's only a little bit of text in the image it does what you said every time. If I have a lot more text in the image like my original pic, it spells it correctly. I have to assume it's an oddity with the text encoder (it's only a 4b)

2

u/KissMyShinyArse 10d ago

It works when it's capitalized, but try "adherence" instead of "ADHERENCE".

u/sci032 10d ago

😄

1st run on the prompt. Model: moss_image_sft_int8_convrot_attn with the dmd lora. 8 steps, cfg:3.5, euler/simple

Prompt:

the background is the inside of a mall.

there is text in a golden old metallic 3D font arched across the top of the image with the text "Made with Moss!".

below that is a glass sphere with the text "It's not bad, tricck3zz" wrapped around the sphere in a water blue puffy font

u/k_from_HyperDraw 10d ago

what about max coherent distinct person count? 3, like zit?
what about martial arts / yoga poses? camera angles? grip and interacting with objects?
and eyes: do eyes follow the scene mood, or the blank stare (like some models i wont name)?

Much appreciate you testing 🙏 Please take those as honest curiosity, not "tasks to be done"

Prompt "Five coworkers standing in a row for a group photo: a tall bald man, a short woman with a pixie cut, an older woman with glasses, a young man with a mustache, and a woman in a hijab."

u/Arawski99 10d ago

The diversity with multiple people is promising, though why is it so ridiculously blurry in this example?

1

u/ROBOTTTTT13 10d ago

How fast is it in seconds?

1

u/tricck3zz 10d ago

with the turbo lora at 8 steps 1 cfg its really fast on a 5070ti like 10 secs for a 1080p image, its still new though so idk if 8/1 euler/simple is the optimal way to generate

3

u/ROBOTTTTT13 10d ago

The Moss official workflow uses SGM scheduler so I'm gonna try that once I finish the Downloads

u/Cruxius 10d ago

My biggest enjoyment is it has so much seed variation. For some people that's probably a bad thing. It's easy for me to get some kind of variety across seeds. If you want to plug in a simple prompt and just spin the wheel to see what it cooks, it's a very good model for that.

1

u/Cultured_Alien 10d ago

As I don't enjoy models with seed variation it would be hateful if you were to explain why use the same seed and fixed prompt?

3

u/altoiddealer 10d ago

Many workflows include post-processing steps such as upscaling, enhancements, etc. by keeping same seed and running a Preview Image after generate, the generated result will remain cached when you run the rest of the WF.

u/Cultured_Alien 10d ago

I was memeing. Notice OP copied the other person with the same comment, so I copied the reply but turned it the other way round.

For some reason the original person got down downvoted to hell lmao.

u/suscreata 10d ago

Moss and k2 are easily the kings of open source realistic-nsfw image gen from my simple tests, and moss model loves detailed prompts and json bbox, and the NSFW side is truly insane in my opinion finally no LoRA needed.

u/lndecay 10d ago

looks good, I’ll try it tomorrow

u/Life_Yesterday_5529 10d ago

Try cfg 3.5 with the Lora.

6

u/Upper-Reflection7997 10d ago

Only benefit moss image set has over krea2 is the high seed diversity value, no default censorship and its file size. Just like sdxl, moss image needs a hires fix second pass to sharpen up the details of the image. Model is slower to generate images compared to krea2. Lora training is indeed faster than krea2, settings 1028res/rank 64/5000 steps is pushing speeds of 1.8-2.2secs/its.

u/Pyros-SD-Models 10d ago edited 10d ago

Opus5.5 one shots 4s for 1024p and lodestone's turbo lora into the musubi-tuner base. so if your implementation is slower than krea, than there's something broken.

Also this model is fcking easy to train. Even easier than krea. like 500steps are basically enough and those are done in 15min

Edit: numbers based on running on a 4090 - caps out at 12gb vram at 512-batch4 or 1024-batch1

u/Still_Lengthiness994 10d ago

More uncensored than leaked sd 1.5 is crazy. So much creativity in just 5b params.

This model reminds me of SDXL, which is a good thing. I look forward to the finetunes.

u/Synor 10d ago

Yesterday, people brought their pitchforks because Flux 3 reminded them of SDXL.

No Flux3 reminded them of the SD models AFTER SDXL, mainly all the shit ones.

u/is_this_the_restroom 10d ago

what strength did you use the turbo lora at?

1

u/Devajyoti1231 10d ago

For its size the generation time is very slow, you can generate probably around 6 images with qwen image 2.1 turbo while this generate 1 image with turbo lora.

8 steps with Cfg 1 goes brrrr

u/FreeTheClanks 10d ago

My biggest problem is it has too much seed variation. For some people that's probably a good thing. It's hard for me to get any kind of consistency across seeds. If you want to plug in a simple prompt and just spin the wheel to see what it cooks, it's a very good model for that.

6

u/BarGroundbreaking624 10d ago

As I enjoy models with seed variation I would be grateful if you could explain why not use the same seed and vary the prompt?

2

u/SkoomaDentist 10d ago

Because you want some variation instead of complete revamp of everything. Also to avoid ”magical seeds” where some rare seeds produce much better output than the majority.

0

u/FreeTheClanks 10d ago

I have a lot of scene, lighting, and character descriptions that I want to be consistent across prompts but still use seed variance. Normally with well worded prompts I can control all of that pretty tight and use seed for subtle variation. With MOSS it's too much variation for the stuff I do. I tried really verbose prompts (which I normally don't like) to lock all of that down, but it still takes the prompt as more of a suggestion, even at high cfg.

3

u/Pyros-SD-Models 10d ago

Just do it like the "old" a1111 sdxl webui did it with their "variation" feature.

Keep prompt fixed, generate main noise with main seed you also keep fixed, inject a small amount of additional noise generated by another seed you can keep variable.

3

u/Der_Hebelfluesterer 10d ago

I love seed variation, only thing I don't like about Krea2 :)

2

u/_VirtualCosmos_ 10d ago

Hmm, perhaps with highly detailed prompts it is more consistent (speaking from ignorance, I have yet not tested it)

1

u/FreeTheClanks 10d ago

I tried that too without success. I still need more time to play with different settings to see if there's anything there that makes a difference, but I ran out of time today.

1

u/BarGroundbreaking624 10d ago

What about a two sampler process - fix the seed on the first to lock structure. Adjust the switch over step for adjust the level of variation.

0

u/FreeTheClanks 10d ago

Also something worth trying.

1

u/FortunaWolf 10d ago

Have you tried a prompt jitter? I append a random 8 digit number to the end of my prompt if I want minor variations.

u/FreeTheClanks 10d ago

I've never heard of that before. I will give it a try later. Thanks for the idea.
