Feasibility of loading abliterated text encoders as LoRAs
Additional-Cup-8889 · reddit · 2026-08-22
A user proposes a method to separate the original text-encoder weights used for image generation from an 'abliterated' version used for LLM-based prompt enhancement. The goal is to load the abliterated version via a LoRA/delta approach to save VRAM by avoiding holding two full models in memory simultaneously.
Key points:
- Aim to keep original image model weights while using the abliterated version for prompt enhancement.
- Attempted to use ComfyUI's native "Extract and Save LoRA" node but encountered errors.
- Focuses on text encoders for recent models like FLUX.2 Klein, Z-Image, and Krea 2.
- Seeking scripts, nodes, or techniques to create LoRAs that fit CLIP loader requirements.
