🎂 ComfyUI Turns 2: A Journey and Call for Talent
Join us to build an OS for Gen AI
Today marks a significant milestone in our journey - ComfyUI celebrates its second anniversary since the initial commit on Jan 16, 2023. What started as a personal side project has blossomed into the most powerful and widely adopted visual Gen AI tool. This achievement isn't just about numbers; it's about the community we've built and the creative possibilities we've unlocked for millions of users worldwide.
Our Impact So Far
In just two years, ComfyUI has become the go-to platform for artists, creators, and developers looking to harness the power of generative AI. Our users are doing incredible things: creating stunning images, videos, generating 3D assets, producing art exhibitions, and even building their own applications on top of our platform. This diversity of use cases validates our core belief: when you give people the right tools, they'll innovate in ways you never imagined.
Thank You to Our Amazing Community
None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the countless creators who have spent innumerable hours crafting and sharing their workflows, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with ComfyUI. A special thank you goes to our incredible node developers and OSS contributors, who have contributed to building more than 10,000 custom nodes, exponentially expanding ComfyUI's capabilities. Your creativity, dedication, and willingness to share knowledge have created a thriving ecosystem that benefits everyone. The success of ComfyUI is your success - you've shown the world the true power of open-source collaboration.
The Road Ahead
While we're proud of what we've accomplished, we recognize there's still significant work ahead. Our vision extends beyond being just another AI tool - we're building what we consider the Operating System for Generative AI. This ambitious goal starts with several key challenges we're actively addressing.
Enhancing User Experience
We're committed to making ComfyUI more intuitive without sacrificing the power and flexibility that our users love. This means rethinking interface patterns, improving documentation, and creating better onboarding experiences for newcomers.
Professional Features
We're developing more robust solutions for managing and iterating workflows, ensuring that ComfyUI can scale from individual creators to teams seamlessly.
Technical Infrastructure
We're tackling dependency and environment management head-on, making it easier to install and maintain ComfyUI across different environments. We're also improving our custom node ecosystem to be more extensible and powerful.
Join Our Mission
We're a small, intense, well-funded team of engineers and artists from diverse backgrounds, including alumni from Stability AI and Google, in San Francisco. Many of us were ComfyUI contributors before joining officially. We operate with a flat structure where collaboration and execution matter more than titles.
As we enter our third year, we're looking for exceptional individuals to join our team. We're not just hiring employees; we're seeking fellow builders who share our passion for open-source development and our vision for the future of creative AI.
