Run the latest ComfyUI with CUDA 12.8. All dependencies are pre-installed in the image. On first boot, ComfyUI is copied to your workspace — when you see [ComfyUI-Manager] All startup tasks have been completed. in the logs, it's ready to use.

This template is for CUDA 12 only. It does not support CUDA 13 (Blackwell / RTX 5090). If you need CUDA 13, use our ComfyUI CUDA 13 template instead.

Upgrading from a previous version

If you have an existing pod created with an older version of this template (CUDA 12.4), a one-time migration of the virtual environment will be performed automatically on the next boot to make it compatible with CUDA 12.8. This may take a few extra minutes on first start after the update.
