ComfyUI v0.32 Introduces New Native Attention, Matching SageAttention Speeds
slpreme · reddit · 2026-08-12
ComfyUI's latest v0.32.0 update introduces a new native attention mechanism. Real-world testing shows that on models like MiniMax H3 and Z-Image Turbo, this native attention backend delivers inference speeds almost identical to the highly optimized SageAttention.
In a 2048x2048 resolution test at 9 steps (average of 3 runs), Comfy Kitchen's native attention took 14.55 seconds, compared to 14.24 seconds for SageAttention and 23.16 seconds for the default PyTorch attention. This update is a major boon for users who struggle with SageAttention environment setups, offering significant out-of-the-box performance gains.
