The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 12 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
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…”
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…”
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.”
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.”
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…”
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.”
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: 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.”
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 .”
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…”
