![MOSS-Image-Base and MOSS-Image-SFT](assets/teaser.webp)

MOSS-Image-Base is the base text-to-image model in the **MOSS-Image** family
from OpenMOSS. It supports natural-language prompts, tag sequences, and JSON
layouts for controlling text placement and object arrangement.

## Base vs. SFT

In this example, SFT produces clearer text grouping and a more organized whiteboard layout.

| --- | --- |
| ![MOSS-Image-Base](assets/comparison/base.webp) | ![MOSS-Image-SFT](assets/comparison/sft.webp) |

## Quick start

Use Python 3.10 or later and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support. Install a PyTorch
2.9 or later build compatible with your CUDA environment, then install:

```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(
    "OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Image-Base",
    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")

prompt = '''A wide view of a refrigerator beside a kitchen counter with a fruit bowl. A small sticky note on the refrigerator door is handwritten in Chinese:
"记得买牛奶和鸡蛋!
牛奶两盒,鸡蛋一打。
顺便带一袋面包。"'''

image = pipe(
    prompt,
    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("refrigerator_note.png")
```

The model and custom pipeline code are downloaded and cached automatically. You
can also pass a complete local model directory to `from_pretrained`.
The transformer and text encoder use bfloat16; the VAE and initial noise use
float32. The bundled VAE uses the FLUX.2 small decoder.

For the Gradio interface, CPU offload, and compilation options, follow the
[project quick start](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image#quick-start).
For ComfyUI, search for **MOSS-Image** in **ComfyUI Manager** to install the
native plugin. Integration into the official ComfyUI repository is in progress.
See the [installation and usage guide](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/blob/main/comfyui/README.md)
and [example workflow](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/blob/main/comfyui/moss-image/example_workflows/moss-image.json).

## Sampling settings

| Setting | Default |
| --- | --- |
| Sampler | Flow-matching Euler |
| Steps | 50 |
| CFG | 3 |
| Shift | 5 |
| Layer skipping | Negative branch, layer index 22 (zero-based) |
| Negative prompt | Empty |

The default guidance uses two transformer forwards per step. Pass
`uncond_skip_layers=[]` to disable negative-branch skipping, or set
`negative_prompt` to provide a negative prompt. Python API image dimensions must
be positive multiples of 16.

See the [user guide](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/blob/main/USERGUIDE.md)
for resolution, sampling, prompt, and LoRA training recommendations.

## Prompt enhancer skill

The [MOSS-Image Prompt Enhancer](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/blob/main/skills/moss-image-prompt-enhancer/SKILL.md) turns
image ideas into detailed captions or spatial Layout prompts. It is designed for
GPT-6-family agents with local file and Python tools. The bundled script converts
pixel-coordinate drafts into compact JSON with integer centered coordinates;
it does not call an image-generation service.

Install the [skill folder](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/tree/main/skills/moss-image-prompt-enhancer) in your agent's skills
directory, then invoke `$moss-image-prompt-enhancer` with your image idea, desired
caption or Layout output, and any canvas dimensions. Paste the compiled result
into MOSS-Image's positive prompt; for Layout, use the same generation dimensions.

## Layout-to-image generation

Pass a JSON layout as the prompt to describe the scene, rendered text, objects,
and their positions. Layouts use `summary.caption` and `items`, with
`bbox_format: "yxyx"` and `bbox_coord_space: "abs_centralized"`.

With the Python API, serialize the layout using
`json.dumps(layout, ensure_ascii=False)` and pass it to `pipe`. In Gradio, paste
the JSON into the Prompt field and set the matching image dimensions.
See the [layout format and example](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image/blob/main/USERGUIDE.md#layout-prompts-experimental).

Layouts can also support controlled editing and user-friendly layout tools.
Edit text, element descriptions, and bounding boxes to adjust image content and
composition in a structured way.
