Image generation

MOSS-Image

A text-to-image model. It takes an ordinary description, sets of tags and a JSON layout in which you can set where a caption stands and how objects are arranged. It renders text in English and Chinese well. Base and fine-tuned (SFT) versions exist, and it plugs into ComfyUI. It uses a text encoder based on Qwen3.5-9B and the FLUX.2 decoder.

Frequently asked questions

Can MOSS-Image be used in a commercial project?

Yes. License: Apache 2.0. It allows commercial use, but it is still worth having a lawyer review the license before launch.

What hardware does MOSS-Image need?

At minimum: One GPU with 16–80 GB — mid-size versions. Without a GPU the model is not practical. You can calculate the exact VRAM for your model size and context in the hardware calculator.

Does MOSS-Image support Russian?

Language does not matter for this model: it does not work with text.

Where can I download MOSS-Image and what does it cost?

The MOSS-Image weights are open and free to download. You only pay for the hardware it runs on and for the setup. Source links are at the bottom of this page.
