ernie-image

ernie-image is a skill for Claude Code from artokun/comfyui-mcp. It costs 98 tokens per session (5,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building Baidu ERNIE-Image and ERNIE-Image-Turbo text-to-image workflows in ComfyUI. These models create images from written descriptions, including layouts with readable multilingual text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create images from detailed prompts, especially multilingual typography, posters, signage, anime or manga panels, and structured scenes with several objects.
Why use it?
It helps you choose ERNIE for posters, signs, manga panels, and complex scenes where text and layout matter. It also clarifies that its image-to-image mode refines an image rather than following instructions such as changing a shirt or background.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ernie-image scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ERNIE-Image / ERNIE-Image-Turbo Workflows

What this is (read first)

ERNIE-Image is Baidu's open-weight TEXT-TO-IMAGE model, an ~8B single-stream Diffusion Transformer (DiT), Apache-2.0, released April 2026 and repackaged for ComfyUI by Comfy-Org. It is not an instruction-based image editor.

  • ERNIE-Image (base): ~50 steps for peak quality.
  • ERNIE-Image-Turbo: distilled (Distribution Matching Distillation + RL), high-fidelity in ~8 steps at cfg 1. The downloaded pack uses Turbo (ernie-image-turbo-*.gguf).

Pick ERNIE when the job is precise text/typography rendering (multilingual, including Chinese), posters/signage/UI mockups, manga/anime storyboards and multi-panel layouts, or structured multi-object scenes from a complex prompt. Do not pick ERNIE for "edit this photo / change the shirt / swap the background". That is instruction-grounded editing, which ERNIE does not do. Use qwen-image-edit or Flux Kontext for those. ERNIE's "image-to-image" here is plain denoise-based refinement (style pass / detail pass), not reference-grounded editing.

Niche vs siblings. ERNIE is the best open-weight text rendering + layout T2I. Qwen-Image-Edit does instruction editing. Flux Kontext does reference editing. Z-Image Turbo does fast general T2I, and this same pack pairs the two; see Combo pipelines.

Separated packs (render-verified)

The original ernie monolith was a single toggle-template graph (every pipeline shipped bypassed; you activated one via the rgthree group toggles). It's now split into standalone, single-purpose packs, each a clean activated graph that renders headlessly with no group-toggling:

Pack Use Models VRAM
ernie-txt2img text-to-image (flagship) ERNIE only (4) <8GB
ernie-img2img denoise refine of a source image ERNIE only (4) <8GB
ernie-combo ERNIE × Z-Image-Turbo combo pipelines ERNIE + Z-Image (7, ~32GB) 12GB+

Working details verified live: the prompt-enhancer LLM is OFF by default (the ENHANCE PROMPT boolean is false; leave it off unless you want the 3B enhancer to rewrite the prompt). The grain/sharpen post-proc (FastFilmGrain/FastLaplacianSharpen, comfyui-vrgamedevgirl) needs librosa installed. In ernie-combo the Z-Image half's VAE is saved as z-image-ae.safetensors; its weights differ from Flux/ERNIE's ae.safetensors despite the same size, and the rename avoids a filename clash.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
