ComfyUI Node: Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire)

Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire):

The ChangeLatentBatchSize node is designed to adjust the batch size of latent tensors in your AI art projects. This node is particularly useful when you need to modify the number of samples in a latent tensor to match the requirements of subsequent processing steps or to optimize performance. By allowing you to specify a new batch size, this node provides flexibility in handling latent data, ensuring that your workflow remains efficient and adaptable to different scenarios. The primary function of this node is to resize the latent tensor to the desired batch size using a simple mode, which either truncates or pads the tensor as needed.

Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire) Input Parameters:

latent

This parameter represents the latent tensor that you want to modify. The latent tensor contains the samples that will be resized according to the specified batch size. It is essential for the node's operation as it provides the data that will be adjusted.

batch_size

This parameter specifies the new batch size for the latent tensor. It determines the number of samples that the output tensor will contain. The batch_size parameter accepts integer values with a default of 1, a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 4096. Adjusting this value allows you to control the number of samples in the latent tensor, which can be crucial for optimizing performance and compatibility with other nodes.

mode

This parameter defines the mode of resizing the latent tensor. Currently, the only available option is simple. In simple mode, if the latent tensor has fewer samples than the specified batch size, the last sample is repeated to fill the tensor. If the latent tensor has more samples than the specified batch size, it is truncated to the desired size. This mode ensures a straightforward and predictable resizing process.

Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire) Output Parameters:

LATENT

The output parameter is the resized latent tensor. This tensor will have the number of samples specified by the batch_size parameter. The resized tensor maintains the original data structure, ensuring compatibility with subsequent processing steps. The output is crucial for workflows that require specific batch sizes for optimal performance or compatibility.

Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire) Usage Tips:

• Use the batch_size parameter to match the requirements of subsequent nodes in your workflow, ensuring smooth and efficient processing.
• The simple mode is ideal for straightforward resizing tasks where you need to either truncate or pad the latent tensor without complex operations.
• Experiment with different batch sizes to find the optimal configuration for your specific project, balancing performance and quality.

Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire) Common Errors and Solutions:

Unknown mode mode

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported mode is specified in the mode parameter.
• Solution: Ensure that the mode parameter is set to simple, as it is the only supported mode currently.

Batch size out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified batch_size is outside the allowed range (1 to 4096).
• Solution: Adjust the batch_size parameter to a value within the allowed range to avoid this error.

Invalid latent tensor

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input latent tensor is not in the expected format or is corrupted.
• Solution: Verify that the input latent tensor is correctly formatted and contains valid data before passing it to the node.
