Dare Ties UNet Merge Administrator

The Dare Ties UNet Merge Administrator — paperwork included.

SDXL-style checkpoint merging: weighted deltas, optional DARE / TIES, and bezier profiles over 21 UNet blocks (9 IN + 3 MID + 9 OUT).

Grab a drink — merging is rarely instant.

Installation

  1. Clone into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI_XS_DARE_TIES
  2. Restart ComfyUI
  3. Advanced → model_merging → dare_ties

Example workflow: load examples/dare_ties_two_child_merge.json, then set checkpoint names to your files.

Profile — bezier curve → 21 block weights. Stack — list of children + weights (no loading). Merge — reference + stack → merged MODEL/CLIP/VAE. Visualizer — weight preview image (no merge).

Typical graph

[Profile] ──► [Model Stack] ──► [Merge Models] ──► merged MODEL/CLIP/VAE
                    │
                    └──► [Stack Visualizer] ──► preview IMAGE   (optional)

Visualizer: seconds. Merge: “I’ll be right back.”

Profiles on disk: ComfyUI/user/default/dare_ties_profiles/*.json
REST: GET/POST /dare_ties_profiles/* (used by the profile UI).

Tips

  • Run Stack Visualizer before a long merge — know what you’re signing up for.
  • Stack order affects DARE/TIES when using dare_* or ties_* merge modes. Shuffle the stack, shuffle your afternoon.
