Justine Moore: Foundation models are eating away ComfyUI use cases
“I would agree that more of the Comfy UI use cases are starting to be eaten away by kind of the core foundation model companies.”
Comfy: Extending Automatic1111 Was Harder Than Building ComfyUI From Scratch
“It would have been harder to implement that in the auto interface than to create my own interface, so that's when I decided to create my own.”
Comfyanonymous built and released ComfyUI in just fifteen days
“So I started writing the code January one, 20, 23. And then I released the first version on GitHub January, 1620, 23.”
MultiDiffusion researchers published area conditioning a month after ComfyUI
“And then a month later, there was a paper that came out called multi diffusion, which was the same thing, but yeah, that's .”
Comfy: Prompt weighting does not work on deep text encoders like T5-XXL
“This stops working the deeper your text encoder is. So, on T-Five XSL, it doesn't work at all, so.”
Comfyanonymous criticizes Gradio for coupling interface logic with backends
“Yeah, Gradio, I don't like Gradio. It's bad. Like, the, that's one of the reasons why, like, Automatic was very bad. It's great because the problem with Gradio, it forces you to, well, not forces you, but it kind of makes your interface logic and your back-end…”
Comfy: Lowering Custom Node Barriers Drove Ecosystem Growth but Created Duplication
“Something I think what I did is I made it easy to make custom notes. So I think that, that helped a lot for the ecosystem, because it is very easy to just make a note. So yeah, a bit too easy sometimes. Then we have the issue where there's a lot of Custom note…”
Comfyanonymous: True video models use 3D latents rather than 2D
“Why I say it's not a true video model is that you still have, like, the two D latents. Like, a true video model, like Mochi, for example, would have three D latents.”
Comfyanonymous considers Genmo's Mochi the best open video generation model
“There's, yeah, there's actually a few of them, but the one I've implemented in Comfy is Mochi, because that, that seems to be The best one so far.”
Automatic1111's inefficient SDXL implementation drove ComfyUI's viral user adoption
“The big, one point zero release happened, and wow, Confu UI was the only way a lot of people could actually run it on their computers, because it just, like, automatic was so, like, inefficient and bad that most people couldn't act, like, it just wouldn't work…”
Comfyanonymous remains the sole developer on the ComfyUI core backend
“So right now core, like on the core itself, it's me. But because the reason we're focused, like all the focus has been mostly on the front end right now, because that's the thing that's been neglected for. A long time.”
ComfyUI plans to monetize via cloud inference and enterprise features
“We're still gonna continue, like, doing the open source, like making MVUI the best way to run Like stable effusion models, like at least the open source side, and like, it's going to be best way to run or models locally, but we will have a few, like a few thin…”
Postma is migrating all his Python AI workflows to ComfyUI
“I'm now rebuilding all my Python stuff to Comfy UI because it's so much easier to work with.”
Postma predicts ComfyUI will become the next massive wave in AI tooling
“I think in the next few months, this is going to be huge. I think a lot of people are going to move to comfy UI. There's a lot of tools being built now that allow you to really easily work with it. I think this is going to be the next kind of wave in AI right …”
Isenberg says the ComfyUI subreddit ranks in Reddit's top four percent
“Their subreddit has skyrocketed in terms of membership. So it's now a top, you know, three or four percent subreddit”
