* Execution Model Inversion
This PR inverts the execution model -- from recursively calling nodes to
using a topological sort of the nodes. This change allows for
modification of the node graph during execution. This allows for two
major advantages:
1. The implementation of lazy evaluation in nodes. For example, if a
"Mix Images" node has a mix factor of exactly 0.0, the second image
input doesn't even need to be evaluated (and visa-versa if the mix
factor is 1.0).
2. Dynamic expansion of nodes. This allows for the creation of dynamic
"node groups". Specifically, custom nodes can return subgraphs that
replace the original node in the graph. This is an incredibly
powerful concept. Using this functionality, it was easy to
implement:
a. Components (a.k.a. node groups)
b. Flow control (i.e. while loops) via tail recursion
c. All-in-one nodes that replicate the WebUI functionality
d. and more
All of those were able to be implemented entirely via custom nodes,
so those features are *not* a part of this PR. (There are some
front-end changes that should occur before that functionality is
made widely available, particularly around variant sockets.)
The custom nodes associated with this PR can be found at:
https://github.com/BadCafeCode/execution-inversion-demo-comfyui
Note that some of them require that variant socket types ("*") be
enabled.
* Allow `input_info` to be of type `None`
* Handle errors (like OOM) more gracefully
* Add a command-line argument to enable variants
This allows the use of nodes that have sockets of type '*' without
applying a patch to the code.
* Fix an overly aggressive assertion.
This could happen when attempting to evaluate `IS_CHANGED` for a node
during the creation of the cache (in order to create the cache key).
* Fix Pyright warnings
* Add execution model unit tests
* Fix issue with unused literals
Behavior should now match the master branch with regard to undeclared
inputs. Undeclared inputs that are socket connections will be used while
undeclared inputs that are literals will be ignored.
* Make custom VALIDATE_INPUTS skip normal validation
Additionally, if `VALIDATE_INPUTS` takes an argument named `input_types`,
that variable will be a dictionary of the socket type of all incoming
connections. If that argument exists, normal socket type validation will
not occur. This removes the last hurdle for enabling variant types
entirely from custom nodes, so I've removed that command-line option.
I've added appropriate unit tests for these changes.
* Fix example in unit test
This wouldn't have caused any issues in the unit test, but it would have
bugged the UI if someone copy+pasted it into their own node pack.
* Use fstrings instead of '%' formatting syntax
* Use custom exception types.
* Display an error for dependency cycles
Previously, dependency cycles that were created during node expansion
would cause the application to quit (due to an uncaught exception). Now,
we'll throw a proper error to the UI. We also make an attempt to 'blame'
the most relevant node in the UI.
* Add docs on when ExecutionBlocker should be used
* Remove unused functionality
* Rename ExecutionResult.SLEEPING to PENDING
* Remove superfluous function parameter
* Pass None for uneval inputs instead of default
This applies to `VALIDATE_INPUTS`, `check_lazy_status`, and lazy values
in evaluation functions.
* Add a test for mixed node expansion
This test ensures that a node that returns a combination of expanded
subgraphs and literal values functions correctly.
* Raise exception for bad get_node calls.
* Minor refactor of IsChangedCache.get
* Refactor `map_node_over_list` function
* Fix ui output for duplicated nodes
* Add documentation on `check_lazy_status`
* Add file for execution model unit tests
* Clean up Javascript code as per review
* Improve documentation
Converted some comments to docstrings as per review
* Add a new unit test for mixed lazy results
This test validates that when an output list is fed to a lazy node, the
node will properly evaluate previous nodes that are needed by any inputs
to the lazy node.
No code in the execution model has been changed. The test already
passes.
* Allow kwargs in VALIDATE_INPUTS functions
When kwargs are used, validation is skipped for all inputs as if they
had been mentioned explicitly.
* List cached nodes in `execution_cached` message
This was previously just bugged in this PR.

Installing
Windows
There is a portable standalone build for Windows that should work for running on Nvidia GPUs or for running on your CPU only on the releases page.
Direct link to download
Simply download, extract with 7-Zip and run. Make sure you put your Stable Diffusion checkpoints/models (the huge ckpt/safetensors files) in: ComfyUI\models\checkpoints
If you have trouble extracting it, right click the file -> properties -> unblock
How do I share models between another UI and ComfyUI?
See the Config file to set the search paths for models. In the standalone windows build you can find this file in the ComfyUI directory. Rename this file to extra_model_paths.yaml and edit it with your favorite text editor.
Jupyter Notebook
To run it on services like paperspace, kaggle or colab you can use my Jupyter Notebook
Manual Install (Windows, Linux)
Git clone this repo.
Put your SD checkpoints (the huge ckpt/safetensors files) in: models/checkpoints
Put your VAE in: models/vae
AMD GPUs (Linux only)
AMD users can install rocm and pytorch with pip if you don't have it already installed, this is the command to install the stable version:
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.0
This is the command to install the nightly with ROCm 6.0 which might have some performance improvements:
pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm6.1
NVIDIA
Nvidia users should install stable pytorch using this command:
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
This is the command to install pytorch nightly instead which might have performance improvements:
pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu124
Troubleshooting
If you get the "Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled" error, uninstall torch with:
pip uninstall torch
And install it again with the command above.
Dependencies
Install the dependencies by opening your terminal inside the ComfyUI folder and:
pip install -r requirements.txt
After this you should have everything installed and can proceed to running ComfyUI.
Others:
Intel GPUs
Intel GPU support is available for all Intel GPUs supported by Intel's Extension for Pytorch (IPEX) with the support requirements listed in the Installation page. Choose your platform and method of install and follow the instructions. The steps are as follows:
- Start by installing the drivers or kernel listed or newer in the Installation page of IPEX linked above for Windows and Linux if needed.
- Follow the instructions to install Intel's oneAPI Basekit for your platform.
- Install the packages for IPEX using the instructions provided in the Installation page for your platform.
- Follow the ComfyUI manual installation instructions for Windows and Linux and run ComfyUI normally as described above after everything is installed.
Additional discussion and help can be found here.
Apple Mac silicon
You can install ComfyUI in Apple Mac silicon (M1 or M2) with any recent macOS version.
- Install pytorch nightly. For instructions, read the Accelerated PyTorch training on Mac Apple Developer guide (make sure to install the latest pytorch nightly).
- Follow the ComfyUI manual installation instructions for Windows and Linux.
- Install the ComfyUI dependencies. If you have another Stable Diffusion UI you might be able to reuse the dependencies.
- Launch ComfyUI by running
python main.py
Note
: Remember to add your models, VAE, LoRAs etc. to the corresponding Comfy folders, as discussed in ComfyUI manual installation.
DirectML (AMD Cards on Windows)
pip install torch-directml Then you can launch ComfyUI with: python main.py --directml
Running
python main.py
For AMD cards not officially supported by ROCm
Try running it with this command if you have issues:
For 6700, 6600 and maybe other RDNA2 or older: HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 python main.py
For AMD 7600 and maybe other RDNA3 cards: HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 python main.py
Notes
Only parts of the graph that have an output with all the correct inputs will be executed.
Only parts of the graph that change from each execution to the next will be executed, if you submit the same graph twice only the first will be executed. If you change the last part of the graph only the part you changed and the part that depends on it will be executed.
Dragging a generated png on the webpage or loading one will give you the full workflow including seeds that were used to create it.
You can use () to change emphasis of a word or phrase like: (good code:1.2) or (bad code:0.8). The default emphasis for () is 1.1. To use () characters in your actual prompt escape them like \( or \).
You can use {day|night}, for wildcard/dynamic prompts. With this syntax "{wild|card|test}" will be randomly replaced by either "wild", "card" or "test" by the frontend every time you queue the prompt. To use {} characters in your actual prompt escape them like: \{ or \}.
Dynamic prompts also support C-style comments, like // comment or /* comment */.
To use a textual inversion concepts/embeddings in a text prompt put them in the models/embeddings directory and use them in the CLIPTextEncode node like this (you can omit the .pt extension):
embedding:embedding_filename.pt
How to show high-quality previews?
Use --preview-method auto to enable previews.
The default installation includes a fast latent preview method that's low-resolution. To enable higher-quality previews with TAESD, download the taesd_decoder.pth (for SD1.x and SD2.x) and taesdxl_decoder.pth (for SDXL) models and place them in the models/vae_approx folder. Once they're installed, restart ComfyUI to enable high-quality previews.
How to use TLS/SSL?
Generate a self-signed certificate (not appropriate for shared/production use) and key by running the command: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -subj "/C=XX/ST=StateName/L=CityName/O=CompanyName/OU=CompanySectionName/CN=CommonNameOrHostname"
Use --tls-keyfile key.pem --tls-certfile cert.pem to enable TLS/SSL, the app will now be accessible with https://... instead of http://....
Note: Windows users can use alexisrolland/docker-openssl or one of the 3rd party binary distributions to run the command example above.
If you use a container, note that the volume mount-vcan be a relative path so... -v ".\:/openssl-certs" ...would create the key & cert files in the current directory of your command prompt or powershell terminal.
