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.show more

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..... More in the GitHub repo.

Comfy MCP is now local and open-source! The #1 ask after Comfy Cloud MCP shipped in June. Your agent sees your actual install. So every node, custom nodes included, and every model on disk. It fetches files, starts your instance, gets a workflow to the point where it runs. It is now the easiest way to help with your local Minimax H3 workflows! Cloud MCP still does everything it did. Tell your agent where a job goes, or let it decide.

Come along as I share my trip diary with you. All of this already happened, but I would like you to see it all. It was day four or five of this trip, I just slipped on the wet Paris streets with the Moulin Rouge behind me, I'm running on three to five hours of sleep, and dinner here doesn't start until somewhere between 11pm and 1 in the morning. I was running on pure adrenaline. Thank God I love what I do. That day, I sat down with politicians in France. They wanted to know how big this issue really is, how Robert Kennedy Jr. got as far as he did, and what it would take to have this conversation in their country the way we had it in ours. I've been asked some version of that same question in every country I've visited. The world is watching what happened in America and trying to understand it.

We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, bringing our total funding to $47M. Led by Craft Ventures , with Pace Capital , Chemistry , TruArrow, and others. But before anything else: this belongs to the community. ComfyUI started as one developer and one open-source repo. No roadmap. No company. Just creators who wanted real control over how they built with AI. That community is now: → 4 million users → 60,000+ community-built nodes → 150,000+ daily downloads Every number traces back to people who built in the open, for anyone to use. Here's where the funding goes: → Comfy Cloud: for teams and studios that need security and scale → Collaborative workflows: versioning and iteration built for how studios actually work → A better local experience: more seamless, more stable → Ecosystem reliability: making 60,000+ community nodes more dependable → Day-one model support: every major release, compatible at launch We are not building a walled garden. We are building open infrastructure, built to last. Thank you genuinely, The ComfyUI Team

Got some news! We’ve building Polymet (YC S24) (YC S24) with Furkan Köseoğlu. We’ve built many products and one of the things we always focused on was building a great UX while shipping fast. It takes many iterations to create a delightful UX and time is scarce for us builders. Now, you can create new pages and components either AI in seconds and quickly iterate on them. You’ll get the design and the production-ready code right away. Just watch and see how it works. This is the future of product development… DM to get access or sign up from the link in the replies

Jason Citron on the growth hack that got Discord its first few thousand users “We started working on [Discord] in January 2015, and within I’d say two months, some of our friends were very excited about it but we didn’t really have any users. It was pretty clear they wanted to use it, it just wasn’t exactly correct. We rebuilt the voice chat engine three times, for example. But I’d say within 3-4 months, we had 20 DAU that weren’t us.” However, as Jason explains, growth stalled after those first 20 users: “We were like, ‘How do we get the word out?’ Because everyone was actually very skeptical about a group chat app for gaming. People would say, ‘This is the dumbest idea ever, no one is going to use this.’ And even people who played games, many of them thought, ‘Why would I want this? I already have whatever app I’m using.’ And so we were having a hard time getting other people to try it.” Jason recalls a period of 3-4 weeks sitting around thinking, “We like this, but maybe no one else does.” Then they figured out their growth unlock: “The unlock for us was inviting people to give feedback on the app, as opposed to saying, ‘Try this thing out we’re selling to you.’ What we actually did was we went to the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit, and we got one of our friends to make a post on the subreddit basically saying, ‘Hey, I’m trying out this new voice over IP app. What do y’all think about it?’” Jason continues: “People found it on Reddit, clicked on that link, went into the server, and then they were talking to us and trying it out. And they went back to the subreddit and were like, ‘Hey, this is pretty cool. I met the devs. They seem pretty cool.’ We got 50 users that day from that post and then that 50 turned into 100 the next day and it sort of started to snowball. And then we did this playbook for six months and that was basically the beginning of how it started growing.” Video source: The Twenty Minute VC Harry Stebbings (2024)

Never happened to me before in my life. We checked into The Jefferson in Washington DC and there was a copy of my book on the table with a note from their Director of Rooms asking me to sign and dedicate it to their collection. I call those God affirmations and I live for them. When you think the hard stuff is keeping you down it is actually God pushing up against you to help you ascend. Fly Into the Wind.

🧵 TSL is looking pretty awesome, but I got you covered until then. I just hit publish on ~2 hours of new content to the course, covering how to dig into Three.js's internals, and we cap the project off with some terrain with erosion and scattering tricks. 🎓It's live in the course, so check it out if you're in!

Hey Theo - t3.gg my Tesla has a local model running it. It works without being connected at all. And doesn’t kill me. Just got home. Alibaba Cloud researchers told me this week at ACL that the real action in the labs is building smaller models. So the open source & “run locally” bulls will have their day.

Keir Starmer: We need to deal with AI bots. This is something relatively new, and we saw with Grok—did you see the thing with Grok just the other week? An AI bot that allowed you to instruct it to undress people—and it did. It was disgusting, absolutely disgusting. We went into battle on that because I thought this is not good enough. We went into battle, we made the necessary steps, we threatened action, and we won that battle in relation to Grok. But we've got to do it with all AI bots, and we will do it. We can do that by amending some of the legislation that we've already got in place.

I am so excited to wake up to this news: MoMA is collecting CryptoPunks and many incredible digital art to the esteemed collection!! I’m deeply grateful that Unsupervised helped pave this path 2 years ago, becoming the first generative AI and blockchain art to welcome 3 million visitors into the museum. We proved then that this is not a fringe movement; it is the heartbeat of our time. Digital art is the medium we inherit as a community born on the internet. We all left the doors open for everyone’s dreams and future is bright! Let’s build it together!!!

This chills me to the bone. She said "Am I going to be like that same girl who got attacked in the subway and di*d?" No indignation and no one cared. They all just stood around quietly as if nothing happened. The lady on the floor filming, quietly pled for someone to call for help all while the entire time her attacker was staring her down. Is this what we are becoming as a society? Quietly minding our own business? This whole event sickens me. This happened on a bus in Santa Monica in March. As of 6 days ago there have been no arrests.

You may not be aware but this journey started nearly 8 years ago and we got real serious about it in 2023. After two years of dreaming, designing and making it happen, Millennium 2.0 is just one day away. We hope you’ve enjoyed the homage we paid to the original project including each of our Earth elements and the all white wardrobe as well as new surprises like “Hey” and a brand new show at Sphere. It’s less than 24 hours until this project is in your hands and we take the stage to travel “Into The Millennium” with you. Words cannot describe our surprise at the excitement you’ve shown for this new but reimagined era and we can only hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you. All of your time spent still keeps us alive…and that truly makes you Larger Than Life!

One thing that people have spoken of everywhere we went is the toll this war is beginning to take on the people of Ukraine in PTSD and other mental health conditions. We’re only just beginning to grasp the likely scale of it – and how long-lasting the effects may be. While it was wonderful to see people in Britain rallying with support and hospitality for Ukrainians in the first phase of this war, we must now recognise that we need to be in this for the long haul, that’s one of the messages I will take away with me. The whole pattern of life and support is changing from immediate crisis to long-term help. This is not likely to stop soon. Read more:

🚨🚨🚨 Some big news from me today: I've started a new company called Contio. 💡 A "contio" is what they called the meetings in the Roman Empire where big, transformative ideas got discussed. I've had this product in my head for seven years, and everyone I talk with agrees — meetings are broken. 🤖 AI notetakers are making it worse. Seven robots join the call. They do nothing to make the meeting better — they just record the misery, and send us emails about it. 🚀 We're building powerful AI that allows every person to create snappier, smarter and action-packed meetings. 🔥 We call it the MeetingOS. It snaps into your existing calendar, works with any video call platform, and works for your in-person meetings too. 💪 This is a big audacious goal, but we've built a top-tier AI team, and we're on a mission to kill broken meetings. 👏 Reply or retweet, and I'll DM you access to our VIP wait list for early access and a free month when we launch!
