I would say that although the form factors look similar, we are operating at a different abstraction level. ComfyUI focuses on components within the HuggingFace diffusers ecosystems and allow artist to recompose different workflow to come up with amazing visual effects.
We're trying to offer a way for people to recompose apps/apis with foundation models!
I think chaiNNer might be a better comparison, although both are used locally to process images while this looks like it's meant to easily build an API. I think it looks neat, I think a lot of people will find this very useful.
Thats true. We started off with a base set of blocks but i think the real utility will come in the easy orchestration and api end point building. We're pushing in the direction of apis and shareable workflows so hopefully some of these comparisons get clarified soon
That being said, you're not wrong. It's definitely inspired by ComfyUI. But, with much simpler abstractions, much broader utility and extensions like building a user front end coming up shortly
