ComfyUI Users Push Compute Scheduling Into the Workflow Layer
ComfyUI’s hardware story has moved from GPU shopping to workflow routing, putting creator infrastructure into the hands of node builders.
The institutional move is subtle: ComfyUI is absorbing work that used to belong to cloud orchestration, driver panels, and hand-tuned local rigs. A merged core change promising model loading speedups and disk offload, an open report about wrong device allocation, and a node project that can split FLUX and LTX across GPUs all point to the same pressure. Users do not want abstract compute abundance; they want the graph to decide where the work goes. ComfyUI gains leverage because it turns hardware scarcity into interface behavior.
