Higgsfield promised to open-source their entire platform. They didn’t.
Let's help them.
For the next two weeks, Comfy and our partners are putting up $25,000 in prizes for the best open-source builds on the Comfy Developer Platform.
Partners: @NVIDIAAI, @runpod, @MiniMax_AI, @ltx_io, @bfl_ai
→ $10K grand prize
→ RTX 5090: Most Innovative
→ RTX 5090: Most Viral
→ RTX 5090: Open Weights Only
→ 10 runners-up: $250 in Comfy credits
The community support has been incredible, and we’ve been blown away by the creativity and amazing apps being submitted.
We’re extending the submission deadline to November 3rd at 9 AM PT to give everyone a little more time to participate.
We value this community and love seeing what you’re building.
If we win, we all win. 🫡
@higgsfield_ai sent us a cease and desist last night, asking us to shut down our Open Source Higgsfield challenge.
Our read on why they sent it. When the apps people pay for can be rebuilt in the open in two weeks, that’s an uncomfortable thing for a closed platform to watch.
So here’s us reiterating our promise to every builder in the challenge and community, and we’re keeping it:
• The challenge stays open
• Final submissions close tomorrow, Oct 30
• Winners are announced Nov 6, with prizes paid as promised
You showed up for each other. We’re showing up for you.
If we win, we all win!

They want the Open Source Higgsfield challenge taken down within 48 hours.
Their argument is that our use of the Higgsfield name and that using their CEO's likeness is an infringement violation (man, the irony). Claiming that it makes the event look like Higgsfield is associated with it.
This couldn't be farther from the truth, which is that Higgsfield made a promise to open source its product and never did.
For the past two weeks, builders have been recreating popular closed apps as open workflows anyone can run.
So we asked our community to deliver where Higgsfield failed: apps in the open, built by the community, for the community. We've made it clear that the challenge is organized by ComfyUI and not affiliated with or endorsed by Higgsfield.
When we started Comfy, we made the community a promise. Our product stays open, free, and yours. We’ve kept it every day since, and one letter isn’t going to change that.
The challenge stays up. Comfy and open source will win!

"Comfy's conduct has caused, and unless stopped will continue to cause, substantial and irreparable harm to Higgsfield's reputation, goodwill, and business relationships" my brother in Christ, you are nothing without open-source

The truth is, the competition unleashed an outpouring of ill-will for Higgsfield from the creative community.
Not because of their products, but their marketing and values.
