# How to Use

Boogu Image uses a Boogu diffusion transformer, the FLUX VAE, and Qwen3-VL as the LLM text and vision encoder.

## Download weights

- Download Boogu Image
    - safetensors: https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Boogu-Image/tree/main/diffusion_models
- Download vae
    - safetensors: https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev/blob/main/ae.safetensors
- Download Qwen3-VL 8B
    - gguf: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-GGUF/tree/main
        - For image editing with GGUF text encoders, also download the matching mmproj file and pass it with `--llm_vision`.
