# DiffusersLoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The DiffusersLoader node loads pre-trained models saved in the diffusers format.

The DiffusersLoader node loads pre-trained models saved in the diffusers format. It searches the configured `diffusers` folders for directories that contain a `model_index.json` file, lets you select one, and loads it as the MODEL, CLIP, and VAE components used in the pipeline. This node is deprecated, but remains available for compatibility with Hugging Face diffusers models.

## Inputs

| Parameter    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      | Data Type | Required | Range                                                                                                                        |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `model_path` | The path to the diffusers model directory to load. The node automatically scans the configured diffusers folders (including linked subfolders) for directories containing a `model_index.json` file and lists the available options. The selected path is validated before loading; an invalid or missing model raises an error. | COMBO     | Yes      | Auto-populated list of folders containing `model_index.json`<br />(relative paths inside the configured `diffusers` folders) |

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description                                                                   | Data Type |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| `MODEL`     | The loaded model component from the diffusers format.                         | MODEL     |
| `CLIP`      | The loaded CLIP model component from the diffusers format.                    | CLIP      |
| `VAE`       | The loaded VAE (Variational Autoencoder) component from the diffusers format. | VAE       |
