Source description

Qwen3-8B Native FP8 Text Encoder for FLUX.2 ComfyUI

This repository contains a ComfyUI-native FP8 conversion of Qwen/Qwen3-8B intended for FLUX.2 / Flux 2 text-encoder workflows.

It was converted from the BF16 Qwen/Qwen3-8B weights, not from HF compressed FP8 shards. In practice this avoids the extra compressed-FP8 scale conversion step and loaded cleanly in ComfyUI's CLIPLoader with type=flux2.

File

  • Qwen3-8B-FP8-native-bf16.safetensors
  • Size: 8,191,089,400 bytes
  • SHA256: 2f3ef1c5dac47bc7f423b8b306c4ad5ddfdface9da7efa3f250da9d8b440af84

Conversion

  • Source model: Qwen/Qwen3-8B
  • Floating 2D tensors were cast to torch.float8_e4m3fn.
  • Other tensors, such as norms and scalar parameters, were kept in BF16.
  • Output is a single .safetensors file for easy placement in ComfyUI/models/clip.

The included convert_qwen3_bf16_to_native_fp8.py script documents the exact local conversion pattern used for this upload.

Usage

Place the safetensors file in one of:

  • ComfyUI/models/clip/
  • ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/

Then use CLIPLoader with type=flux2 and select Qwen3-8B-FP8-native-bf16.safetensors.

This is not a standalone chat model. It is intended as a text encoder for image generation workflows, especially FLUX.2 workflows that expect Qwen3 8B.
