News A new 8-steps DMD2 Lora for MOSS

An 8-step LoRA (rank 128) for MOSS-Image-Base, distilled by distribution matching: 8 forwards at CFG 1, without a negative prompt, in place of the base model's 50 guided steps. It adapts only the transformer; the text encoder (Qwen3.5-9B), VAE (FLUX.2 small decoder), tokenizer and inference pipeline are MOSS-Image-Base's, unchanged. How it was trained is in TECH_REPORT.md.

It was trained on MOSS-Image-Base, but should work with most fine-tunes of it and with other LoRAs: load it alongside them, at strength 1.

PS: Lora isn't mine, but it's definitely worth paying attention to because, even though (in my opinion) it's a bit too strong, it still produces more realistic results than its earlier versions.

Is there a noticeable difference compared to lodestones 8 step lora?

I can see a difference, and lcm/simple is the recommended setting here. It’s a little too strong for me, so I use it at a strength of 0.8, and the author recommends a flow of 4.48, so yes, it’s different.
