Nodes to run nodes on remote ComfyUI instances.

Included Nodes:

  • Remote Run Input Graph: Runs everything going to its inputs on the specified remote instance
  • Remote Run Start From Here ->: Used together with above node, makes it only run its input nodes up to hitting a start node
  • Remote Run JSON: Runs the JSON on the specified remote instance
  • Remote Run Lazy Toggle: Simple toggle switch that runs parts of the graph either only locally or only remotely

Serialization:

  • Safetensors: default, uses safetensors, fine for serializing latents and conditionings but may not support more complex types
  • Torch Unsafe: normal torch pt, should have widest compatibility, probably best if you have full control or trust of the remote instance.
  • Torch Safe: minimal safe implementation of torch pt, safe but only supports a small subset of types
