I'm open-sourcing the entire ComfyDeploy platform again. Yes, our entire YC company. And we are officially moving on from ComfyUI. The community will decide what's next for ComfyDeploy. Below is an abstract; for more, head to the open source repo below. Existing customers will not be affected; more details are in the repo. The service will continue to run until the last customer remains. For those who are new, ComfyDeploy is a cloud service that deploys ComfyUI, provides a simplified interface, and an API to creative teams. How did we get here? In late 2023, I started ComfyDeploy as an open source project while I was working at my previous company. We had a problem deploying ComfyUI to our production server because of the complexity involved in integrating it into a serverless environment. I posted here about this little project that I was working on as an indie hacker, and it blew up overnight. I woke up to 100k impressions on the post. I put up my cal link, and people started scheduling calls. I had the opportunity to speak with numerous individuals worldwide, including those who reached out to help or potentially utilize ComfyDeploy. We got into YC with ComfyDeploy around 2.5K MRR. Around the same timeframe, ComfyOrg was introduced, Stability collapsed, and Flux just came out. We continued building ComfyDeploy for months, keeping things going. The company was growing, but very slowly. We realized the biggest issue is that we are still really early, and it takes time for businesses and enterprises to really adopt such a niche tool. And we are not ComfyOrg. Meanwhile, closed-source models dropped, and many workflows we knew became no longer useful. Coming from a game developer background, I saw huge potential with ComfyUI at first. Still, I never would have imagined that one giant model could do precisely what you put into words, and you still need workflows to fine-tune and control the exact outputs. ComfyDeploy made it possible for teams to experiment with this. But we were stuck in the middle. First, we are not ComfyOrg; second, closed-source models were doing things way better and slowly eating up the market. As of today, ComfyDeploy is doing $29k MRR, and our last 30 days' revenue was $50k processed. Which is the highest we have ever got, but also the most depressing day I have ever had.....

Introducing open source, real-time demo for Comfy Deploy, streaming in any params (text, number, images). Workflow by Julien Blanchon 🇺🇦 🫶 Running serverless gpu on Modal Drawing UI tldraw Inspired by Krea, fal 's real-time demo! Huge respects! Demo on GitHub. For context: tbh this is just a technical demo, truly meant to showcase how powerfully Comfy UI is when you get to expose the params. I'm also very grateful to even get the chance to meet with the team behind krea and fal in SF, these are very creative people and I have huge respect. Everything you see here is running behind a workflow done by julien when I asked for help in the discord, for which I am really really grateful. I'm looking toward a future where real-time generative AI becomes more accessible, and by contributing to open source, a lot more people can build creative AI apps and let their imaginations go wild. benny

Introducing ComfyDeploy (S24) 🚀 The collaborative cloud Comfy that works with ANY custom nodes, models. Here's a quick timeline of what happened in the past month. - ComfyDeploy started as an open-source project 6 months ago. Trying to bridge the gap between local comfy to cloud as API. - Things move fast and Nick Kao cold dm on Twitter one day in 7am in the morning and said. "Hey man this is awesome, I already cloned it locally and got it running, let me help you fix the storage issues..." - 15-minute call turned into 2-hours call. And then everyday 2 hours call. - We fly to SF and meet for the first time in February. - We got into YC on March 15. This is life-changing experience and it started with ComfyUI, thanks to comfyanonymous and the huge community around generative AI. This is just the beginning.

Introducing ComfyUI in Unity demo - Supercharges your game development with open-source gen AI. Run any creative workflow in the cloud, and integrative nicely to your Unity scene view port. Imaging what you can already do with ComfyUI - texture, sprite generation - 3d generation - llm, story generation You can now scale, and build tools around these creative workflows. And integrate it into any domain-specific pipeline. Inspired by Magnific.ai ! Running serverless with Modal p.s. I'm still in GDC, if anyone is interested please reach out. Will be testing with more workflows this week.
