LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models apply lightweight style or subject modifications to a base model. Add one or more LoRAs to any pipeline step.

]| Property | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
model_name |
Yes | HuggingFace Hub repo ID |
weight_name |
No | Specific weight file in the repo |
subfolder |
No | Subfolder within the repo |
adapter_name |
No | Named identifier for the adapter. Defaults to the LoRA's position in the list ("0", "1", ...) if omitted |
scale |
No | Blend strength (default: 1.0). Lower = less effect |
Any other property (e.g. revision) is forwarded as-is to the underlying load_lora_weights() call.
Stack multiple LoRAs. They are blended via weighted adapter composition:
"loras": [
{
"model_name": "XLabs-AI/flux-RealismLora",
"adapter_name": "realism",
"scale": 0.7
},
{
"model_name": "user/style-lora",
"adapter_name": "style",
"scale": 0.5
}
]LoRAs work with quantized models:
{
"pipeline": {
"transformer": {
"configuration": { "component_type": "SD3Transformer2DModel" },
"quantization_config": {
"configuration": { "config_type": "BitsAndBytesConfig" },
"arguments": { "load_in_4bit": true, "bnb_4bit_quant_type": "{nf4}" }
},
"from_pretrained_arguments": {
"model_name": "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large",
"subfolder": "transformer",
"torch_dtype": "torch.bfloat16"
}
},
"configuration": { "component_type": "StableDiffusion3Pipeline" },
"from_pretrained_arguments": {
"model_name": "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large",
"torch_dtype": "torch.bfloat16"
},
"loras": [
{
"model_name": "crystalwizard/cubic-abstract-1",
"weight_name": "cubic-abstract-lora.safetensors"
}
],
"arguments": { "prompt": "cubart a leaf" }
}
}Make the LoRA configurable via workflow variables:
{
"variables": {
"lora": "XLabs-AI/flux-RealismLora"
},
"steps": [{
"pipeline": {
"loras": [{ "model_name": "variable:lora" }],
"arguments": { "prompt": "variable:prompt" }
}
}]
