New Models Ideal For Low-VRAM GPUs

Video - https://youtu.be/5Wae2H3ures

There have been a few new models recently, so I figured I'd take a look at what they have to offer!

1. Probably the best of them is Lumina 2.0 which features some impressive prompt comprehension in a 2B model. The styles are a bit hit and miss, but at least it has some ;)

YuE - FOSS Music Generation!

Video - https://youtu.be/6FBnKIjqT04

Open Source music generation at home takes another step forward thanks to the change of license for YuE, which is now Apache 2.0!

Like Suno or Udio, you can provide a set of lyrics along with some tags in order to create some AI music.

Text prompts aren't your only control though, as you can also upload vocal or instrumental audio clips (30...

DeepSeek-R1 Enhanced Flux Prompts

Video - https://youtu.be/T7nufrDmc9A

DeepSeek. It's all the rage at the moment, so I figured I'd give it a spin in ComfyUI to see how good it was at prompt enhancing for image generation!

The following models were used to compare against:

  • DeepSeek-R1 (14B)

  • Gemma2 (9B)

  • Llama 3.2 (3B)

  • Olmo (7B)

  • Phi4 (14B)

ComfyUI now supports some of the Nvidia Cosmos models, which means image to video fun at home, for free, on your own computer :)

Ok, so it's not as good as the pay-for websites, but it is still a lot of fun with plenty of potential in this first release.

A Happy New Year with DepthFlow

Video - https://youtu.be/vwYItu2OaYk

I'm back once again with a quick look back into 2024 and a relaxing, easy-to-use, fast, low VRAM image animation node called DepthFlow.

Turn your 2D images into stunning 2.5D parallax animations using Depthflow in ComfyUI.

An open source Immersity alternative.

I'd also like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. 2025 here we come!

Happy Holidays!

Yes, I'm not here for the holiday season :)

Being that time of year I am currently away with family. However, I just wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you to everyone, and to wish you all a wonderful new year!

I'm sure we'll see even more amazing stuff in 2025, but what would your New Year's Wish be for AI? Something totally new? More image to video? Virtual human avatars?

Regional LoRAs in ComfyUI

Ever wanted to use one LoRA for part of your image, and another totally different LoRA (or model) for another?

Well, if you've seen the recent ComfyUI blog post about some new nodes for adding LoRAs to conditioning areas, along with various other nodes too, then you'll know this is now a lot easier to do!

Hunyuan Video in ComfyUI

NOTE

The licence only allows certain territories to use the model, so I've removed the video and there are no outputs shown here. Next time I'll need to make sure I read the licence properly!

Mistake 1:

The license for the Tencent Hunyuan model only allows usage in certain territories, and I’ve now realized that the license excludes the United Kingdom and South Korea, which I initially missed. As a result, I’ve removed the video and the model files to c...

If you get Flux to generate a single, large image and prompt for various parts of that image (such as top-left, bottom-right, etc), then you can crop the final image into a number of smaller (but hopefully consistent) images.

ComfyUI Simple Upscale - Enhanced Edition

In the Enhanced Edition I'm also trying to just how far you can push the upscale. As soon as it hits anything close to 4000 then everything goes all blocky, so somewhere more around 3k is probably the maximum at the moment.

This version is somewhat experimental, but my eyes eventually just start seeing lines everywhere 0_0

The different types of noise also seem to have an impact on the stripes, with pyramid noise getting rid of most of them... also leaving some colourful noise in ...
