ComfyUI to date has been including every available model. Giving creatives the power to produce locally is fantastic. With that said, everyone has the option to use or not use what's been made available. Thank you ComfyUI
why?, comfy is offering all the models and apis possible, if you dont want it dont use it, i personally really like grok, is the fastest to iterate in the first run, a real contender for midjourney.
Thanks for the updates as usual. while I do not use Grok much myself, I do like less restrictive models and I'm against hard policing of AI models.
Don't blame the Knife company for Knife crime, blame the criminal using it to harm someone.
I believe there should be more strict punishment for those who use these models for generating non-consensual nudes or CPs. but not to heavily police models to cripple them on other features.
After all there is no easy way of just disabling one thing without partially effecting the other parts.
Is it really a good idea to support a company that is refusing to police the production of non-consensual nudes on its platform, including those of children?
So where is that same energy for uncensored models like chroma? You really don't care, only when its Musk do you care. BTW, they have cracked down on those pain points. Is it really a good idea to act so virtuous when you're not?
You can read xAIās transparent reports and get that they have been prohibiting creation of such content and you are not the one who decides what we should do
Maybe I heard wrong, but from what i understand the current status was that paid accounts still have minimal limits, and the EU is investigating Xās misconduct no? I wouldnāt consider that case closed. More broadly, several countries are banning social media for minors because of how toxic itās become. So against that backdrop, tuning into this community to read that comfy is happily promoting a grok modelā¦ seems kinda off to me.
Yeah I definitely donāt want to decide what people do, I just want to share my opinion here.
About Chroma, I donāt really see the harm in uncensored / NSFW GenAI models if thatās what you mean? If peopleās kink isnāt harming others then i say go for it!
Sex/porn/nudes in themselves arenāt the issue. And itās not the tools themselves. Itās the impact thatās the negative thing. If people post explicit images of other people and those other people are really upset by that, then in my opinion people shouldnāt do that, platforms shouldnāt allow that, and Comfy shouldnāt support that by promoting Grok / X here. Anyway, thatās my 5Ā¢
The Grok nodes in ComfyUI are just an API client: you plug in your xAI API key (paid credits onlyāno free ride for heavy use), send prompts from your local workflow, and get generations back. Nothing posts to X/Twitter automatically. No public sharing. No integration with X's feed or recommendation systems. It's local generation, same as running Flux, Pony, or any other uncensored model offline.
Liking your own post is like giving yourself a high-fiveāit's lame and screams insecurity. You're being overdramatic here, conflating a private, paid API tool in ComfyUI with X's platform issues. The EU is investigating X over Grok-generated sexual deepfakes and non-consensual imagery on the platform itself (stuff that got posted publicly and spread there). That has zero to do with someone running Grok prompts privately in ComfyUI on their own machine. ComfyUI isn't hosting, sharing, or recommending anything publiclyāit's not a social network. Guilt-by-association doesn't make this a safety crisis.
And yeah, countries are restricting social media for minors because platforms like X (and others) can be toxic. But again, that's about online posting and exposureānot offline, personal AI generation in a tool like ComfyUI. If you're cool with uncensored/NSFW models in general (you said you're fine with kinks that don't harm others, and Chroma exists), then why single out Grok? ComfyUI has had Chroma baked into templates for ages, and people use Perchance/Bluesky setups for wild shit too. Bluesky does nothing proactive to scrub AI-generated CSAM beyond basic reporting (they quadrupled mods in 2025 mostly for spam/CSAM influx, but it's still reactive and tiny compared to the scale). Yet I don't see you protesting their integrations or calling them out for "promoting" unchecked generation.
People don't need nannies, thought police, or gatekeepers deciding which APIs are "morally acceptable" for local use. Adults can choose their tools. If the impact you're worried about is people posting non-consensual explicit images of real folks onlineāthen attack the platforms that host and spread it, not a ComfyUI node that never touches the public web.
That's my 10Ā¢. If you hate xAI/Elon that much, just don't use the node. No need to invent connections that don't exist.
Yeah I donāt really disagree with most of what youāve written there - except of course the bit where you call me lame :)
The core issue for me is about encouraging healthy online platforms, and yeah as you touch on, the challenge is how to do that without censorship of free speech etc. So yeah, I agree that Comfy doesnāt need police the capability of models. Itās on the user / platform if what they make and distribute harms people right?
So like I said in the OP, I donāt think itās a good idea to support a company that is failing in those areas. Thereās a lot of discussion right now about toxic culture on the internet and the real world harms that causes. And yet here is comfy making a post to cheerily promote a product of xAI. That seems off to me.
EDIT: So I guess thatās where we differ. I think that Comfy shouldnāt support xAI with promotional posts / API cash money because of their platform moderation fails. But it seems you see Grok as seperate from X as a platform. But they are owned by the same parent company right? Iām curious, would you ever boycott an organisation over anything?
Yeah, fair enough on the "lame" bitāI stand by it though. Liking your own post is straight-up narcissistic, like patting yourself on the back in public because no one else will. It speaks volumes about insecurity and self-obsession. Don't be lame; let others decide if your take is worth an upvote.
We do differ on the rest. You're framing this as "encouraging healthy online platforms" and avoiding support for companies that fail at moderation. But let's call it what it is: you want selective gatekeeping based on your personal beef with xAI/Elon, disguised as concern for "toxicity" and "real-world harms." If it's really about healthy platforms, why zero in on Grok's ComfyUI integration while ignoring the dumpster fire over at Bluesky? They've been slammed for months over rampant AI-generated CSAMāreports of unchecked child exploitation imagery flooding the platform, with mods admitting they're overwhelmed and reactive at best. That's not "healthy" by any stretch, yet I don't see you boycotting them. Selective outrage much? It feels like you're saying one thing (care about harms) but meaning another (censor stuff tied to people/companies you dislike).
On the boycott question: Sure, I'd boycott an organization if it directly crossed my linesālike if they were actively enabling harm without recourse. But here's the hypocrisy test: Would you boycott OpenAI because they've been sued multiple times for data theft and enabling deepfakes? Or Google/Anthropic for their AI tools being used in scams and misinformation? Hell, Meta's been fined billions by the EU for privacy violations and failing to curb hate speech on Facebook/Instagram, yet no one's screaming to yank Llama nodes from ComfyUI. xAI and X are under the same umbrella, yeah, but Grok's API is a separate productāpaid, private. Comfy promoting it isn't "cheerily" endorsing X's moderation fails; it's highlighting a tool for optional generation, same as they do for Chroma or Flux. If every API got blackballed over parent company drama, ComfyUI would be empty.
Nah dude, I said your actions are lame so stop being lame. Thankfully nobody listens to you thought police types anymore -- you peeps ruined companies and cost elections. Have good one, Grandma.
You literally have no idea what the difference is between API nodes and local. Hey you know what, type in any prompt you want buddy, it's totally local, no one will know. for sure. Go for it.
what about having a platform where you can do watever you like and leave up to the artists the responsability to be accountable for whatever they are going to create?
It's like stopping drivers to use their vehicles to avoid accidents
Thank you so much for implementing Grok in ComfyUI!
Iām all about whatever gets the job done, and now ComfyUI offers even more options ā that's what I love most: the freedom to choose.
Grok shouldn't be featured at all by you - what the hell. Any backbone left?
ComfyUI to date has been including every available model. Giving creatives the power to produce locally is fantastic. With that said, everyone has the option to use or not use what's been made available. Thank you ComfyUI

Quit being an infantile dope. Not everything is a political battle.
Why are you so butt hurt? Get off the cog and think for yourself you fool.
Thank you for giving us these Grok models. I can't wait to try it for video.
I generated the default image-to-video file and it used up about 600 credits!!! Something that's free on Grok Imagine!!!
Thx for info!
Local or cloud?
It's again - no info in the post:
Is it local or API?
if API - what are the costs?
I really don't understand this information policy at all; it makes people feel insecure and annoys me!
Thanks for the updates as usual. while I do not use Grok much myself, I do like less restrictive models and I'm against hard policing of AI models.
Don't blame the Knife company for Knife crime, blame the criminal using it to harm someone.

You gonna boycott ComfyUI now too?
Ah Grandpa yr killing me. I was trying so hard to be reasonable in my replies and youāre doubling down on the personal insults :(
I thought liking my own post was hilarious fwiw, canāt believe they let you do that. I also liked your post to make amends.
Good luck on your crusade, and stay grumpy Grandpa.
Nah dude, I said your actions are lame so stop being lame. Thankfully nobody listens to you thought police types anymore -- you peeps ruined companies and cost elections. Have good one, Grandma.

Great to hear Groks inclusion. Does having a paid X subscription allow me to run this locally?
If so, how do I set it up? Much appreciated.
Right now this is not supported. You will still have to top up Comfy Credits to run all the API models in ComfyUI.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You so mad bro
You literally have no idea what the difference is between API nodes and local. Hey you know what, type in any prompt you want buddy, it's totally local, no one will know. for sure. Go for it.
Honestly. Why are you so angry?
I'm surprised the demos don't include CP, swatzikas and racist depictions of ethnic minorities. That's what Grok is mainly for isn't it?
Really disappointing update to wake up to.
what about having a platform where you can do watever you like and leave up to the artists the responsability to be accountable for whatever they are going to create?
It's like stopping drivers to use their vehicles to avoid accidents
That's called a driver's license. Maybe you should get one.
what an insightful comment here...
I prefer to have options and I have used Grok for none of those things you mentioned.
That's because you don't really know how to use comfyui Grandpa.
I prefer to have options, go cry harder
Thank you for the integration, don't bend to these crybullies; they cost elections and revenue loss -- their time is over, we can move on now.
Did this using FLUX1 models in ComfyUI, some Wan 2.2 14B and lots and lots of Grok.
