ClipSave - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation
The ClipSave node is used to save CLIP text encoder models in SafeTensors format.
The CLIPSave node is designed for saving CLIP text encoder models in SafeTensors format. This node is part of advanced model merging workflows and is typically used in conjunction with nodes like CLIPMergeSimple and CLIPMergeAdd. The saved files use the SafeTensors format to ensure security and compatibility.
