New Model Support:
Flux Model Integration: Comfy Org now supports the newly launched Flux.1 model series from Black Forest Labs, including Flux.1-Dev and Flux.1-Schnell. This integration provides users with example workflows and model download links, along with detailed usage instructions, significantly enhancing the AI image generation capabilities of ComfyUI.
Hunyuan DiT Model Support: Comfy Org also announced support for Tencent's Hunyuan DiT models, which excel in understanding Chinese prompts and come with several features endowed by Tencent, further enriching ComfyUI's multilingual support capabilities.
Stable Release of ComfyUI:
The fourth stable version of ComfyUI, v0.0.4, has been released. The official recommendation is to use this stable version in production environments to ensure system reliability and stability.
Frontend Technology Upgrade:
A new TypeScript frontend is expected to be launched on August 15. This update will bring a more powerful and maintainable codebase, supporting the rapid development of new frontend features.
Core Execution Engine Enhancement:
The merger of PR2666 will introduce a more powerful core execution engine for ComfyUI. This improvement will allow for the implementation of advanced programming features such as for loops, greatly enhancing the capabilities of custom node and workflow authors.
Through these updates, Comfy Org demonstrates its ongoing commitment to technological innovation and user experience. With the support of new models and improved system performance, ComfyUI is gradually becoming a more reliable and powerful tool in the AI field.
