You can enable experimental memory efficient attention on pytorch 2.5 in ComfyUI on RDNA3 and potentially other AMD GPUs using this command:
```TORCH_ROCM_AOTRITON_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL=1 python main.py --use-pytorch-cross-attention```
You can also try setting this env variable `PYTORCH_TUNABLEOP_ENABLED=1` which might speed things up at the cost of a very slow initial run.
###### Notes for Ascend NPU Users
These instructions from upstream have not yet been validated.
For models compatible with Ascend Extension for PyTorch (`torch_npu`). To get started, ensure your environment meets the prerequisites outlined on the [installation](https://ascend.github.io/docs/sources/ascend/quick_install.html) page. Here's a step-by-step guide tailored to your platform and installation method:
1. Begin by installing the recommended or newer kernel version for Linux as specified in the Installation page of torch-npu, if necessary.
2. Proceed with the installation of Ascend Basekit, which includes the driver, firmware, and CANN, following the instructions provided for your specific platform.
3. Next, install the necessary packages for `torch-npu` by adhering to the platform-specific instructions on the [Installation](https://ascend.github.io/docs/sources/pytorch/install.html#pytorch) page.
###### Notes for Cambricon MLU Users
These instructions from upstream have not yet been validated.
For models compatible with Cambricon Extension for PyTorch (`torch_mlu`). Here's a step-by-step guide tailored to your platform and installation method:
1. Install the Cambricon CNToolkit by adhering to the platform-specific instructions on the [Installation](https://www.cambricon.com/docs/sdk_1.15.0/cntoolkit_3.7.2/cntoolkit_install_3.7.2/index.html)
2. Next, install the PyTorch (`torch_mlu`) extension following the instructions on the [Installation](https://www.cambricon.com/docs/sdk_1.15.0/cambricon_pytorch_1.17.0/user_guide_1.9/index.html)
3. Launch ComfyUI by running `python main.py`
# Large Language Models

# Using the Editor
## 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 increase generation speed?
Make sure you use the regular loaders/Load Checkpoint node to load checkpoints. It will auto pick the right settings depending on your GPU.
You can set this command line setting to disable the upcasting to fp32 in some cross attention operations which will increase your speed. Note that this will very likely give you black images on SD2.x models. If you use xformers or pytorch attention this option does not do anything.
```--dont-upcast-attention```
##### 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](https://github.com/madebyollin/taesd), download the [taesd_decoder.pth](https://github.com/madebyollin/taesd/raw/main/taesd_decoder.pth) (for SD1.x and SD2.x) and [taesdxl_decoder.pth](https://github.com/madebyollin/taesd/raw/main/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.

## Frontend Development
As of August 15, 2024, we have transitioned to a new frontend, which is now hosted in a separate repository: [ComfyUI Frontend](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend). This repository now hosts the compiled JS (from TS/Vue) under the `web/` directory.
### Reporting Issues and Requesting Features
For any bugs, issues, or feature requests related to the frontend, please use the [ComfyUI Frontend repository](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend). This will help us manage and address frontend-specific concerns more efficiently.
### Using the Latest Frontend
The new frontend is now the default for ComfyUI. However, please note:
1. The frontend in the main ComfyUI repository is updated fortnightly.
2. Daily releases are available in the separate frontend repository.
To use the most up-to-date frontend version:
1. For the latest daily release, launch ComfyUI with this command line argument:
```
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@latest
```
2. For a specific version, replace `latest` with the desired version number:
```
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@1.2.2
```
This approach allows you to easily switch between the stable fortnightly release and the cutting-edge daily updates, or even specific versions for testing purposes.
### Accessing the Legacy Frontend
If you need to use the legacy frontend for any reason, you can access it using the following command line argument:
```
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_legacy_frontend@latest
```
This will use a snapshot of the legacy frontend preserved in the [ComfyUI Legacy Frontend repository](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_legacy_frontend).
### Iluvatar Corex
For models compatible with Iluvatar Extension for PyTorch. Here's a step-by-step guide tailored to your platform and installation method:
1. Install the Iluvatar Corex Toolkit by adhering to the platform-specific instructions on the [Installation](https://support.iluvatar.com/#/DocumentCentre?id=1&nameCenter=2&productId=520117912052801536)
2. Launch ComfyUI by running `python main.py`
