ComfyUI-ClybsChromaNodes

A small collection of custom nodes for ComfyUI, designed primarily for use with Lodestone Rock's Chroma model (and compatible flow-matching architectures like FLUX and SD3). The package bundles custom guidance, samplers, schedulers, and an adaptive multi-LoRA loader, all of which integrate as standard ComfyUI nodes.

Installation

Clone this repository into your ComfyUI custom_nodes directory and restart ComfyUI:

cd /path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Clybius/ComfyUI-ClybsChromaNodes.git

No additional Python dependencies are required beyond a working ComfyUI install. The frontend extension is picked up automatically via WEB_DIRECTORY = "./js".

Node overview

The package registers 8 nodes, organized into four groups:

| Group | Nodes | |---|---| | Guidance | ClybGuidance | | Samplers | SamplerClyb_BDF, SamplerTaylorFlow, SamplerWrapperCFGPP | | Schedulers | InverseSquaredScheduler, PrintSigmas | | LoRA Loaders | ClybAdaptiveLoraLoader, ClybAdaptiveLoraLoaderModelOnly |

In addition, the chroma_NAG.py module ships a ChromaNAG class (Normalized Attention Guidance for Chroma's DoubleStreamBlock) that is not currently registered in the node mappings — the class is available in code but does not appear in the ComfyUI node browser.

Guidance

ClybGuidance

File: clyb_Guidance.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling

A pre-CFG model patch that rewires how the conditional and unconditional predictions are combined at every sampling step. Stacks the following features on top of standard CFG:

  • Project-and-scale (eta) — the guidance vector is split into a component parallel to the conditional and a component orthogonal to it. The parallel component is scaled by eta, the orthogonal component is left alone. eta = 1.0 recovers default CFG.
  • Norm clamping (norm_threshold) — if the L2 norm of the guided output exceeds the conditional's norm times norm_threshold, the guided output is rescaled back down. Disabled at 0.0.
  • Momentum (momentum, momentum_beta, momentum_renorm) — adds a fraction of a running-average guidance vector to the current guidance, optionally re-normalized back to its original norm. momentum = 0 disables it.
  • Scalar projection (scalar_projection, scalar_logsumexp) — projects the conditional onto the unconditional as a scalar (logsumexp or sum reduction), then scales the unconditional by that scalar.
  • STD/var rescale (rescale_phi, var_rescale) — blends the guided output toward an output whose standard deviation (or variance) matches the conditional's. rescale_phi = 0 disables it.
  • Sine-bell schedule (scale_up_ratio, scale_up_shift) — animates the effective CFG scale from 1.0 at the start, up to the configured CFG scale at the middle of diffusion, and back down to 1.0 at the end. scale_up_ratio = 0 disables it. scale_up_shift < 1.0 shifts the bell later, > 1.0 earlier.
  • atan2/sin blend (atan2sin_ratio) — blends the unconditional with uncond.atan().sin() / cond.atan().cos() (a Chroma-specific twist on the guidance direction).

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | model | MODEL | — | — | Model to patch | | eta | FLOAT | 1.0 | -50, 50 | Parallel guidance scale | | norm_threshold | FLOAT | 0.0 | 0, 50 | Norm clamp (0 = off) | | momentum | FLOAT | 0.0 | -10, 10 | Momentum weight (0 = off) | | momentum_beta | FLOAT | 0.75 | 0, 0.999 | Running-average smoothing | | momentum_renorm | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 1 | Renormalize after momentum | | scalar_projection | BOOLEAN | False | — | Scalar projection of cond onto uncond | | scalar_logsumexp | BOOLEAN | False | — | Use logsumexp (else sum) | | rescale_phi | FLOAT | 0.0 | 0, 1 | STD-rescale blend (0 = off) | | var_rescale | BOOLEAN | False | — | Use var (else std) for rescale | | scale_up_ratio | FLOAT | 0.0 | 0, 1 | Sine-bell CFG weight (0 = off) | | scale_up_shift | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0.1, 10 | Sine-bell schedule shift | | atan2sin_ratio | FLOAT | 0.0 | -100, 100 | atan2/sin blend (0 = off) |

Returns: MODEL (patched).

Samplers

All three nodes return a SAMPLER object intended to be plugged into the sampler input of KSampler (or any node that accepts a sampler).

SamplerClyb_BDF

File: clyb_Samplers.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling/samplers

A backward-differentiation-formula-style sampler that takes a single model evaluation at the start of the step, then synthesizes a refined denoised prediction at the sigma_down point and combines them with one of three scalar fusions:

  • projection — projects the half-step prediction back onto the line spanned by the full-step prediction.
  • atan2sin — uses atan2(sin(half), cos(full)) to blend the two predictions in angle space.
  • atan2sin+projection (default) — the atan2/sin blend followed by a projection rescaling, combining both stabilizations.

The sampler detects flow-matching models (FLUX, SD3, Chroma) automatically and switches to the flow-style ancestral update with alpha_ip1/alpha_down/renoise_coeff.

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | scalar | ENUM | atan2sin+projection | projection, atan2sin, atan2sin+projection | Scalar fusion mode | | eta | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 100 | Ancestral stochasticity | | s_noise | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 100 | Noise scaling factor |

SamplerTaylorFlow

File: clyb_Samplers.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling/samplers

A multi-step Taylor-expansion sampler (registered as taylor_flow in the ComfyUI sampler list). Implements the algorithm from "Leveraging Previous Steps: A Training-free Fast Solver for Flow Diffusion" (Nov 2024):

  1. Maintain a rolling history of (sigma, denoised) pairs from the previous order steps.
  2. At each step, perform one model evaluation at the current state.
  3. Build a Vandermonde matrix from the historical sigma values.
  4. Solve for Taylor coefficients B that predict the latent at sigma_next.
  5. Apply the Euler step plus a correction term built from the history.
  6. Inject ancestral noise as usual.

The four sigma_calc modes control how the sigma_down / sigma_up pair is computed for the ancestral noise injection:

  • clyb (default) — logarithmic scaling, the original Clyb scheme.
  • taylor-expansion — exponential factor with a quadratic correction based on the step ratio.
  • ancestral — standard k-diffusion get_ancestral_step.
  • adaptive — converges toward the standard scheme based on a normalized variance of the denoised history (small history variance ⇒ less noise).

The Vandermonde solve supports two methods internally (iterative two-sided equilibration with Tikhonov regularization, and diagonal-dominant extraction) and falls back to a lstsq solve if the regularized system is singular.

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | order | INT | 8 | 1, 16 | Taylor expansion order (history length) | | eta | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 1 | Ancestral stochasticity | | s_noise | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 2 | Noise scaling factor | | sigma_calc | ENUM | clyb | clyb, taylor-expansion, ancestral, adaptive | Ancestral sigma calculation method |

SamplerWrapperCFGPP

File: clyb_Samplers.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling/samplers

A sampler wrapper — takes any other SAMPLER as input and returns a new sampler that runs the inner sampler but with a CFG++-style denoised recomputation. CFG++ replaces the standard CFG blend with a closed-form denoised that uses the unconditional prediction from the next sigma:

denoised_star = (sigma * alpha_t * denoised_guided
                 - sigma_next * alpha_s * uncond_denoised) / (sigma - sigma_next)

where alpha_s = sigma * exp(lambda(sigma)) and alpha_t = sigma_next * exp(lambda(sigma_next)), with lambda(s) = sigma_to_half_log_snr(s, model_sampling).

The wrapper installs a post_cfg_function hook on the model to capture uncond_denoised from the inner sampler, then uses a CFGPPProxyModel to perform the recombination at every step. The wrapper itself is not added to the standard KSampler dropdown — it is only reachable through this node (or any node that constructs it via comfy.samplers.ksampler("cfgpp", {...})).

| Input | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | sampler | SAMPLER | Inner sampler to wrap with CFG++ |

Schedulers

InverseSquaredScheduler

File: clyb_Schedulers.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling/schedulers

A sigma scheduler that biases the schedule toward the end of diffusion. It uses (1 - t²)² (i.e. the inverse of t mapped through (1-t)²) to pick sigma indices — fine-grained near the end, coarser at the start. The scheduler is also registered into SCHEDULER_HANDLERS under the name inverse_squared, so it can be used as a string in any node that accepts a scheduler name.

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | model | MODEL | — | — | Model to derive the sigma range from | | steps | INT | 20 | 3, 1000 | Number of steps | | denoise | FLOAT | 1.0 | 0, 1 | Denoise strength (< 1.0 enables img2img-style short schedules) |

Returns: SIGMAS.

PrintSigmas

File: clyb_Schedulers.py Category: sampling/custom_sampling/schedulers

A debug helper that prints the incoming SIGMAS tensor to the console and passes it through unchanged. Useful for inspecting schedules from other nodes without modifying them.

| Input | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | sigmas | SIGMAS | Sigma tensor to print |

Returns: SIGMAS (passthrough).

LoRA Loaders

Both loaders share a frontend extension (js/clyb_adaptive_lora.js) that dynamically reveals the next lora_name_N / strength_*_N triplet only after the previous lora_name_M is set to a non-"none" value (up to a cap of 20 LoRAs). Setting a slot back to "none" hides the trailing widgets, and serialization / deserialization are handled correctly so that hidden widget values survive workflow save/load.

ClybAdaptiveLoraLoader

File: clyb_ModelLoader.py Category: loaders

Apply up to 20 LoRAs to a (MODEL, CLIP) pair, in order, by cloning the model once and merging all patches into that single clone. The clone-per-call approach is cheaper than the per-LoRA clone done by ComfyUI's built-in chain loader. LoRA file contents are cached in self.loaded_loras keyed by slot index — the cache is invalidated when a different LoRA is selected for that slot.

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | model | MODEL | — | — | Diffusion model to patch | | clip | CLIP | — | — | CLIP model to patch | | lora_name_1 | ENUM | — | loras list | First LoRA (set to "none" to skip) | | strength_model_1 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | Diffusion-model strength (negative allowed) | | strength_clip_1 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | CLIP strength (negative allowed) | | lora_name_2..20 | ENUM | "none" | loras list | Additional LoRAs (revealed as you fill slots) | | strength_model_2..20 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | Per-slot diffusion-model strength | | strength_clip_2..20 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | Per-slot CLIP strength |

Returns: MODEL, CLIP.

ClybAdaptiveLoraLoaderModelOnly

File: clyb_ModelLoader.py Category: loaders

Same as ClybAdaptiveLoraLoader, but the CLIP input is omitted from the schema and the internal strength_clip_* is forced to 0.0 for every slot, leaving only the diffusion-model patches applied. Use this for MODEL-only pipelines (e.g. unconditional sampling, flows without a text encoder, or cases where CLIP is wired in separately).

| Input | Type | Default | Range | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | model | MODEL | — | — | Diffusion model to patch | | lora_name_1 | ENUM | — | loras list | First LoRA (set to "none" to skip) | | strength_model_1 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | Diffusion-model strength (negative allowed) | | lora_name_2..20 | ENUM | "none" | loras list | Additional LoRAs (revealed as you fill slots) | | strength_model_2..20 | FLOAT | 1.0 | -100, 100 | Per-slot diffusion-model strength |

Returns: MODEL.
