HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604 — BF16 (ComfyUI)

This is the BF16 conversion of HiDream-ai/HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604 — the updated distilled Dev variant of HiDream-O1-Image released May 13, 2026 — for use with ComfyUI . This update brings accelerated IP inference, layout and skeleton conditioning support, and an updated editing scheduler. The Dev model runs in 28 steps at 9B parameters.

⚠️ PyTorch 2.9.x is not recommended — known compatibility issues exist. Use 2.8.x or earlier.

⚠️ Editing note: For instruction-based image editing tasks, the upstream team recommends using the full model instead of Dev.

Custom ComfyUI Node: Saganaki22/HiDream_O1-ComfyUI

What's New in Dev-2604

• Accelerated IP inference — faster subject-driven personalization
• Layout conditioning — place subjects at specific bounding box regions
• Skeleton conditioning — OpenPose-based pose control for try-on and character workflows
• Updated editing scheduler — improved Dev editing behaviour

Dev vs Full — Key Differences

CFG is disabled in Dev mode — negative prompts have no effect.

VRAM Requirements

Quick Start — ComfyUI

1. Install the Custom Node

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Saganaki22/HiDream_O1-ComfyUI.git
cd HiDream_O1-ComfyUI
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Or search for HiDream O1 in ComfyUI Manager .

Suggested transformers version: 4.57.1 – 5.3 (newer versions may break compatibility).

2. Download the Weights

Download the entire model folder (all files, not just the safetensors) and place it in ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/ :

huggingface-cli download drbaph/HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604-BF16 \
    --local-dir ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604-bf16

The folder must contain the full Hugging Face support files alongside the weights: config.json , chat_template.json , generation_config.json , preprocessor_config.json , tokenizer.json , tokenizer_config.json , vocab.json , merges.txt , model.safetensors

3. Load in ComfyUI

Use the workflow provided in the custom node repository. The loader will detect dev in the folder name and automatically apply Dev settings (28 steps, no CFG, Euler scheduler). Point the model loader to HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604-bf16 .

About HiDream-O1-Image

HiDream-O1-Image is a natively unified image generative foundation model built on a Pixel-level Unified Transformer (UiT) — no external VAEs, no disjoint text encoders. It encodes raw pixels, text, and task-specific conditions in a single shared token space, supporting:

• Text-to-image generation up to 2,048 × 2,048
• Instruction-based image editing (full model recommended)
• Subject-driven personalization with layout and skeleton conditioning
• Long-text and multilingual text rendering

It debuted at #8 in the Artificial Analysis Text to Image Arena (2026-05-05).

Key Features

• 🧬 Pixel-Level Unified Transformer — end-to-end on raw pixels, no VAE, no disjoint text encoder
• 🎨 One Model, Many Tasks — T2I, editing, personalization, layout, skeleton, storyboard
• ⚡ 28-Step Distilled Dev — ~2× faster than the full model
• 🖼️ Native High Resolution — direct synthesis up to 2,048 × 2,048
• 🧍 Skeleton & Layout Conditioning — OpenPose control and bounding-box subject placement
