Reve Image Create

Remember when a model called "Halfmoon" kept showing up at the top of the imgsys leaderboard in early 2025 and nobody knew what it was? That was Reve - the closed image model from a Stability AI alumni shop, previewed at reveal.art. This node is that model, accessed from inside ComfyUI.

Here's the honest context: Reve is a strong closed text-to-image model, but it's never been a community obsession the way Recraft or Nano Banana became. Its fans like its prompt adherence and its photographic look; its detractors point out it's yet another closed API with no weights. What matters for you is practical - you can now run it as a node, pay per call with Comfy account credits, and get a tensor back like any other generation.

Inputs that matter

• prompt - multiline, up to 2560 characters
• model - a dynamic combo. One model version today (reve-create@20250915), and under it an aspect_ratio pick (1:1, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4) plus test_time_scaling (1–5). Higher test-time scaling = better images, more credits spent. That's the quality/cost dial.
• upscale - a sub-menu: disabled, or 2x/3x/4x post-upscale. Adds cost.
• remove_background - boolean, post-processes the result into a cutout. Adds cost.
• seed - re-run control; results are non-deterministic regardless (their words, true for every hosted model).

Output is a plain IMAGE tensor. Wire to Preview/Save.

How it works

Settings are POSTed to /proxy/reve/v1/image/create, the response comes back as a WebP binary, and ComfyUI decodes it into a tensor. One detail worth knowing: the API validates a x-reve-content-violation header, and if the model flags your image it raises an error rather than handing you the result. So yes, the safety filter lives server-side and you can't route around it.

Getting it, and the deprecation elephant

Ships with ComfyUI core - no install, needs a Comfy account and credits. But heads up: the whole Reve node family was marked deprecated in core in August 2026 (PR #15331). Deprecated here means still present and functional, but flagged - Reve's API partner integration is being wound down, so don't build a production pipeline on it. If it disappears in a future release, that's why.

Common issues

• test_time_scaling is where your bill goes. Crank it to 5 and every image costs several times the base. Start at 1–2, bump only for keepers.
• Upscale + remove_background are extra charges. They're one-click conveniences, and each adds cost. If you want a cutout, weigh Recraft's Remove Background or free local BiRefNet against paying Reve for the post-process.
• Deprecation risk. The node works today; it's flagged for removal. Have a fallback model in mind.

Reach for it when you want Reve's particular photographic quality without leaving the graph. Just don't get attached - the integration is on its way out.
