My Models

The per-project list of AI models you want to use — drives which recipes and workflows are available, and where to install missing models.

My Models is a per-project allow-list of the AI models you want to use on a project. It shapes:

  • Which recipes and workflows appear when you open Add a step
  • Which models the platform suggests for new recipes
  • Where to install models you don't have yet
  • A picture of what's available on Comfy Cloud vs your local ComfyUI

Open it from the Actions tab on any shot, character, location, or prop page — the My Models chip in the empty state, or the + Add model chip beside any operation heading in the operation picker.

Model cards

Each model is shown as a card with:

  • A thumbnail — a still or short clip from a representative workflow
  • A brand logo in the top-left corner showing the model's provider
  • A $ / Info / Download button in the top-right corner — see Card buttons below
  • Local | Cloud chips under the name — green where the model is available
  • A family chip (e.g. flux, sdxl, wan22) showing which model family it belongs to
  • An API chip for cloud-API-only models (no downloadable file)

A model with the green primary border is currently in your My Models for this project. Click the card to toggle.

Card buttons

The top-right button changes shape depending on the model's state:

Icon Meaning
$ Paid API service — the model lives on a provider's servers; you'll need an API key configured. Clicking opens the install dialog with API setup notes.
Info The model is installed locally. Clicking opens the install dialog showing the installed path and a warning if it doesn't match the Comfy Cloud canonical path.
Download The model isn't installed yet. Clicking opens the install dialog with the download link and the exact place to put the file.

The install dialog also includes a Learn more link to the model's HuggingFace page or vendor docs when available, so you can read up on what the model does and how it's prompted.

Filtering and finding models

The header bar gives you several ways to narrow the list:

  • Search — filters by name or model ID
  • N selected toggle — show only the models currently in your My Models
  • Local toggle — show only models installed on your local ComfyUI
  • Cloud toggle — show only models available on Comfy Cloud
  • + Filter dropdown — filter by operation (Text to image, Lipsync, Voice clone, etc.)

All filters combine as AND with the text search. The + Filter dropdown takes the same operation taxonomy as the workflow picker, so opening My Models from a specific operation (via + Add model) lands you straight on the matching section.

When a section has no models registered yet — for example a new operation we haven't curated models for — the section header still appears with an italic note explaining the gap, so you can see what's missing rather than wondering where the option went.

Refreshing local availability

The Refresh button in the header re-probes your local ComfyUI install to update the Local indicators. It checks which model files and which API-node integrations are present, so you get an accurate picture of what's installable without leaving the dialog.

Saving your selection

Click Save to persist the selection. Selected models drive the workflow picker, the recipe suggestions, and the per-category model chips that appear beside operation headings. Click Cancel to discard changes.

See Recipes & the Cookbook for how selected models combine with operation tags to produce runnable recipes.
