Qwen-Image-2.1 is a 7B model that combines image generation and editing, including native RGBA output and support for up to 10 reference images. It has day-one support in ComfyUI, Diffusers, vLLM-Omni, and Ostris, but its license is non-com
WAN 3.0 is now available through Replicate, OpenRouter, and ComfyUI for text-, image-, and reference-driven video generation up to 1080p. Pika says the model supports up to 20 references and 30-second output, while quality and price comparisons remain vendor-reported.
ComfyUI says Seedance 2.5 is live via Partner Nodes with 30-second runs, up to 50 references, timeline shot control, editing, and multilingual lip sync. Fal, Pika, Venice, and other tools also added access.
MiniMax released H3 weights on Hugging Face for text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, and editing workflows. vLLM-Omni, ComfyUI, SGLang Diffusion, and fal added support at launch.
Gemini Omni Flash ranked #1 on Video Arena at 1404 Elo, 101 points above Seedance 2.0 Mini, and ComfyUI posted a text-prompt video-edit workflow. Google noted the leaderboard is third-party, leaving benchmark provenance as the main caveat.
A day after Seedance 2.0's 4K rollout story, partners began shipping the cheaper Seedance 2.0 Mini across Venice, ComfyUI, and Pika MCP. The 15-second 720p variant with native audio gives video workflows a lower-cost path than the flagship model.
Seedance 2.0 rolled out native 4K generation while Seedance 2.0 Mini landed on fal, Replicate, Pika MCP, and ComfyUI. That matters because engineers can now reach the same video model family through APIs, MCP workflows, and local graph tooling instead of a single web surface.
Ideogram released 4.0 as open weights with 2K output, layout control, and strong text rendering, with rollout to ComfyUI, fal, and Hugging Face. Teams can download the design-focused model, but they should check the non-commercial license before using it in production.
Nous added a built-in ComfyUI skill to Hermes Agent, letting the agent install, launch, and run Comfy workflows on demand through a `/comfyui` command. The integration turns the wider Comfy ecosystem into a callable agent surface instead of a separate manual pipeline.
