cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-10-20
Pinokio, the local AI app launcher, has shipped multiplayer mode—turning the previously single-player discover-and-run experience into a social one, with the web explore page now mirrored in the app.
The community also released ComfyUI Companion v2.0.1:
- Civitai Model Hub: browse trending checkpoints/LoRAs in-app, send runnable LiteGraph workflow templates to your ComfyUI canvas in one click, or auto-download models with correct folder placement and smart dependency resolution.
- Video Architect 2.0: fully local LLMs (Gemma-3-4B, Qwen-2.5-7B) handle storyboard deconstruction and prompt engineering with zero cloud dependence; integrates SadTalker, LivePortrait and Wav2Lip for audio-driven lip sync.
- 16GB VRAM pipeline: tiled 512px VAEDecode to avoid OOM, automatic CLIPLoader offload to CPU freeing 6–8GB, and enforced fp8e4m3fn quantization on UNet loaders.
