Starting from PR #8041, ComfyUI supports directly using built-in paid Partner Nodes through your ComfyUI Account API Key, without requiring a specific frontend interface (you can even run without a frontend). This means you can create workflows that combine:
  • local OS models
  • tools from the custom node community
  • popular paid models
Then run everything together by simply sending the prompt to the Comfy webserver API, letting it handle all the orchestration. This is helpful for users who want to use Comfy as a backend service, via the command line, with their own frontend, etc.
