# MOSSLiteTE

ComfyUI-native converted weights of [recoilme/moss_te_adapter](https://huggingface.co/recoilme/moss_te_adapter) plus text-only [Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B): a lightweight (~1.8 GB) text encoder for MOSS-Image that replaces the native Qwen3.5-9B encoder.

Use with the ComfyUI node pack **[ComfyUI-MOSSLiteTE](https://github.com/cicalooo/ComfyUI-MOSSLiteTE)**.

```

## Notes

- Approximation: ~0.92 cosine vs the native 9B encoder (per the original adapter card).
- The ComfyUI port matches the reference implementation (parity 1.0).
- Text-only: no image inputs to the text encoder.
- 1024-token prompt limit (longer prompts are truncated).
- Trained on MOSS-Image-Base; untested on SFT.
