The main issue with ComfyUI is that conceptually it isn't an end-user application; it's actually a development tool. It's like giving someone Unreal Engine when all he or she wants to do is play some video games after work.
Comfyuis worst enemy is itself. Python dependency hell and trying to get multiple plug-ins working that require specific pytorch versions. Such a pain.
I mean, zluda is the only sure fire way to not OOM, RoCM uses older HIPs with no ram offloading on 6xxx and earlier cards, I was hoping this would have ram offloading for all their devices, i was disappointed is all.
there is 1 change i would like to see and it is a type of censorship put on ai with the australian social media ban i was thinking that maybe they could make fake id "18+ year old teenage people" they look way to young for 18
AFAIK, Amuse is an early attempt by an AMD's ISV (independent sofware vendor) to support image generation on its platform. Open source is always welcome, regardless of your view on Amuse's utility.
AMD is actively working on ROCm, its alternative to CUDA, on both Windows and Linux. ROCm + PyTorch have improved tremendously on Window in the last six month and ComfyUI and some trainers are now working without major issues on both platforms.
It is the most practical standalone software available for generating images with just a few clicks. Plus, Generation is almost instantaneous on any modern AMD GPU if you use the optimized models that have the AMD logo.
Is there a list of compatible model somewhere?
It tried with comfyui months ago but it's amd support was pretty bad.
I'd love to try again with something more user friendly for amd user.
wtf, even the readme on github don't explain what this is supposed to be
Standalone software for image generation. You download SD, templates, controlNet, upscaling, etc. within the software itself.
Because is EOL, Amuse has been dropped and replaced by ROCM
It says Final version on github
Info about Amuse: https://www.amd.com/en/ecosystem/isv/consumer-partners/amuse.html
But AFAIK it does not run particular fast and does not support the latest models.
Much better option is to use ROCm with ComfyUI (works on both Windows 11 and Linux): https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1or5gr0/comment/nnnsmcq/
Note: ROCm only support newer GPUs (7900, 9700) on Windows. For older GPUs you need to use ROCm on Linux or ZLuda.
Amuse supports nearly any device, Intel Arc, Nvidia, AMD, even iGPU and CPUs
so if you have an old card or laptop, Amuse is still handy
Thanks for the info. I thought that Amuse is AMD only.
I googled for it, and it appears that the rendering is done via ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange)
Yea, they made their own engine in .NET using ONNX, no python
Comfy UI is anything but comfortable. Amuse is accessible for the average user with just a few clicks. That's fast enough too.
Yes, ComfyUI can be intimidating for the average user.
But (most?) people migrate to ComfyUI eventually, due to its power and support for the latest models and techniques.

Well, it all comes around to zluda huh...
I believe you need Zluda only if you want to use older cards on Windows (but I could be wrong about Linux & older cards).

I see. I have 9700xt and 7900xt and ROCm 6.4 works fairly well for me on Windows 11.
well this is a nothingburger

So more useless garbage from AMD thrown out as open source, instead of investing in a real alternative to CUDA

This is not from AMD, just some dude in Australia made it
New Zealand, I think.

There is about 200 models built into the app, 1 click download,
you can also use the converters to convert safetensors models to onnx format,
https://github.com/TensorStack-AI/OnnxStack/tree/master/OnnxStack.Converter
but that requires some advanced model knowledge I think, because no one here seems to be able to do it
EDIT: think I found the full list on huggingface
