ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI_omost

ComfyUI_omost Introduction

ComfyUI_omost is an extension for ComfyUI that integrates the functionalities of the Omost project. This extension focuses on regional prompts, allowing users to generate images with specific regions guided by detailed prompts. It is particularly useful for AI artists who want to create complex and detailed images by specifying different conditions for various regions of the image.

How ComfyUI_omost Works

ComfyUI_omost works by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate JSON-like structures that define the layout and conditions for different regions of an image. These structures are then used to guide the image generation process, ensuring that each region of the image adheres to the specified conditions. The extension provides tools for interacting with LLMs, editing region conditions, and accelerating the LLM inference process.

ComfyUI_omost Features

LLM Chat

LLM Chat allows users to interact with LLMs to obtain JSON layout prompts. There are three main nodes in this pack:

• Omost LLM Loader: Loads an LLM.
• Omost LLM Chat: Chats with the LLM to obtain a JSON layout prompt.
• Omost Load Canvas Conditioning: Loads a previously saved JSON layout prompt. You can also use the show-anything node to display the JSON text and save it for later use. Note that the official LLM's method can be slow, taking about 3-5 minutes per chat on a high-end GPU like the 4090. However, you can use Text Generation Inference (TGI) to deploy accelerated inference.

Region Condition

ComfyUI_omost supports various methods for region-guided diffusion, allowing you to specify different conditions for different regions of an image. Here are the methods currently supported or planned:

1. Multi-diffusion / Mixture-of-diffusers: Runs UNet on different locations and merges the estimated epsilon or x0 using weights or masks for different regions. (To be implemented)
2. Attention Decomposition: Decomposes attention into different regions using masks. This method is built into ComfyUI and can be used with the Omost Layout Cond (ComfyUI-Area) node.
3. Attention Score Manipulation: Directly manipulates attention scores to ensure activations in masked areas are encouraged and those outside are discouraged. This method is used by the original Omost repo and can be implemented using the Omost Layout Cond (OmostDenseDiffusion) node.
4. Gradient Optimization: Splits prompts into segments and uses attention activations to compute a loss function, which is then backpropagated. (To be implemented)
5. External Control Models: Uses models like gligen and InstanceDiffusion for region following. (To be implemented)
6. Layer Options: Additional methods like layerdiffuse and mulan. (To be implemented)

Canvas Editor

The extension includes a built-in region editor on the Omost Load Canvas Conditioning node, allowing you to freely manipulate the LLM output.

Accelerating LLM

You can leverage TGI to deploy LLM services and achieve up to 6x faster inference speeds. This method is highly recommended for long-term support and efficiency.

ComfyUI_omost Models

ComfyUI_omost supports different models for various tasks. Here are some of the models you can use:

• Omost LLM Models: These models are used for generating JSON layout prompts. You can use models like omost-llama-3-8b or its quantized versions for better performance.
• DenseDiffusion Models: These models are used for attention score manipulation. You can install the ComfyUI_densediffusion extension to use these models.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI_omost

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Slow LLM Inference: If the LLM inference is slow, consider using TGI to deploy accelerated inference.
2. Region Condition Not Working: Ensure you are using the correct method and node for your region condition. Refer to the methods listed in the Region Condition section.
3. Model Compatibility: Make sure you are using compatible models for your tasks. Refer to the Models section for more information.
