ComfyUI 0.35 Lands — Plus New Local Video & Audio Tools

ComfyUI 0.35 shipped this week. As with any point release, node behavior and default settings can shift under existing graphs, so treat this as upstream release news rather than a NeuralDrift-verified compatibility statement.

We haven't re-run every catalog workflow against 0.35 yet. The execution records linked below reflect the ComfyUI and PyTorch versions actually used at test time — check the "Testing & source information" section on any workflow page before assuming a new release changes nothing.

Five AnimateDiff graphs in the catalog — ambient motion, loop-oriented, landscape drift, product rotation, and slow zoom — have current, successful execution records on an RTX 5080. These are the workflows behind this issue's "local video tools" claim; nothing here is a catalog estimate.

Each record lists the settings and environment used for its own run. Use those records to assess fit for your hardware rather than treating the five graphs as a VRAM ranking.

The ACE-Step 1.5 turbo checkpoint graph — generating audio from musical tags and lyrics — also has a current, successful RTX 5080 execution record in the catalog. Pair it with the ACE-Step 1.5 guide in Guides if you're setting it up for the first time.

Three more local video/audio projects came up this week in community discussion: SolarWM (local video/world-model tooling), AuK, and FireRedAudio (an open local text-to-speech/audio project). None of these have been installed, run, or execution-tested by NeuralDrift yet.

We're listing them because they're relevant to this issue's theme, not because we're vouching for their claims. If we run them locally and get a real result — success or failure — it'll show up in the Lab with an execution record, the same as everything else on this site.
