5GB or 9GB? A full breakdown of every file in the ComfyUI repack of the MOSS-Image 5B DiT

katefix9 · reddit · 2026-10-22

A detailed Reddit guide untangles the MOSS-Image 5B DiT ComfyUI repack: the 9GB file is bf16 and the 5GB one is an int8 ConvRot quant of the same checkpoint (Base and SFT each ship both). Downloads also need a Qwen3.5-9B text encoder — bf16 (19.31 GB), int8 (9.75 GB) or w4a8 GPTQ (7.34 GB, the ComfyUI template default) — plus a flux2-vae VAE. Base suits LoRA training (no post-training/CFG distillation), while the template's sampler defaults (25 steps, CFG 2.5, ersde) are lighter than the README's 50-step/CFG 3 settings. Community quants cover GGUF, MLX for Macs, and 4/8-step LoRAs. Open question: w4a8 vs bf16 encoder quality on long prompts.
