v0.44.0

ComfyUI v0.44.0 introduces multiple new partner nodes for tools like Patina, VEED, BFL, Ideogram, Pruna, MiniMax, Topaz, Sonilo, and OpenAI, adding features such as higher resolution video upscaling, context window editing, and new models. Enhancements include support for ProRes and custom chroma subsampling in video saving, improved frontend handling with pinned versions, optimized tensor comparisons, and better VAE compute dtype control. Performance optimizations address redundant concatenations and memory management, while bug fixes resolve crashes related to VAE decoding and prefetch queue cleanup. The release also updates workflow templates, embedded documentation, and default settings, with contributions from new developers.

TraceQuery: learning what to recompute from full-denoising trajectory in diffusion language models

arXiv:2610.33008v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) enable flexible generation through iterative masked denoising, but incur substantial inference cost because token representations are repeatedly recomputed across denoising steps. Existing cache-based methods reduce this cost by reusing intermediate results across denoising steps and recomputing only a subset of positions at each step, chosen either on a fixed schedule or by heuristic signals of change. Our trajectory experiments instead point to decoding trajectory as the more relevant quantity. Cached generation remains accurate when it stays close to the full-denoising trajectory, with errors concentrated around unmask-order deviations and reduced as longer reference prefixes are recovered. This sugg

Oddin: Latent Visual Reasoning in Unified Multimodal Models via Self-Distillation from Image Generation

arXiv:2610.33062v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unified large multimodal models (ULMMs) are able to perform visual reasoning through interleaved text-image generation, but generating explicit intermediate images incurs significant computational overhead. While visual latent reasoning addresses this, most existing methods rely on vision-language models (VLMs) incapable of visual generation. We propose Oddin, a novel framework enabling latent visual reasoning in ULMMs. Oddin replaces intermediate images with compact latent tokens processed entirely by the understanding branch, reserving the generation branch for the final output image. We train the model via offline self-distillation with three objectives, final image generation losses, text distillation losses, and cross-entropy losses for

PhaseBreak: Proactive Temporal Protection against Unauthorized Image-to-Video Animation

arXiv:2610.33070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Image-to-Video (I2V) diffusion models can animate a single portrait or photograph, enabling shared images to be repurposed for motion synthesis without the subject's authorization. We study proactive visual protection against such use: before an image is released, its owner applies a bounded perturbation that preserves the sharing workflow but disrupts downstream motion generation. Existing spectral disruption objectives globally attenuate temporal representations and therefore provide limited control over subtle or spatially localized motion. Our key idea is that generated dynamics depend not only on temporal feature strength, but also on the order in which feature events occur. We propose PhaseBreak, a white-box spectral retiming protection

End-to-End Differentiable Diffusion Conditioning for Physics-Informed Optimization

arXiv:2610.31721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing high-dimensional physical systems under expensive evaluations and complex constraints is a central challenge in science and engineering. In offline model-based optimization (MBO), methods must improve designs using only a fixed dataset and no test-time access to the true objective. However, existing methods typically suffer from conservatism, unconstrained surrogate exploitation, or function as static inference-time samplers that cannot refine candidates against precise physical objectives. In this paper, we propose Differentiable Diffusion Conditioning (D2C) for offline MBO, which leverages the fact that deterministic sampling makes the reverse denoising chain differentiable with respect to the conditioning signal. D2C turns a fro
