tl;dr
Last night, @higgsfield sent @ComfyUI a cease and desist (attached)
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!

Big news today! Thank you @mignano and @usv for joining the journey.
It was very fun making this video and giving our brand a glow-up after the last year+ of our team's hard work. The Tolan app has: new characters, new onboarding, and lots more. Lots of late nights from our small crew to make it all happen - proud and endlessly grateful for them.
If you want to build AI meant to help us *all* become what we're trying to be - consider joining us! ❋
Last year we launched Tolan, inspired by a vision of AI that sees you and believes in you, not one that books restaurant reservations for you.
Your Tolan shows up for you at 3am when you’re alone with your newborn. On your commute when you’re anxious about the day ahead. When you just finished a new show and none of your friends have watched it yet.
The people who love Tolan are parents. Caregivers. Moms in Dallas and Dads in Atlanta. People who aren’t trying to optimize and be more productive, but who simply want to feel seen and supported in their aspirations.
This month more than 250k people will spend time with their Tolan. Those users have exchanged billions of messages across more than 70m conversations over the last year.
Today, we're announcing $30m in additional capital from @mignano and @usv, with @khoslaventures and @rabois doubling down, bringing our total capital raised to $60m.
To celebrate, we made a short film celebrating some of the ways that Tolans show up :)

Stills from last night's talk about how the space race is informed from design, movies and aesthetics. Inspiring to think about how design still holds such an immense value and helps guide engineering advancements. Hosted by @fuserstudio for @Techweek_

Showcasing the student work from SCALE, a @UCLA Architecture and Urban Design Technical Seminar led by Caco Peguero, one of our Fuser Assembly members.
Working across scales, students explored how renewable energy infrastructure can reshape our relationships with architecture, ecology, and urban environments. Students learned mapping, digital and physical modeling, as well as the range of generative models using Fuser to develop speculative proposals imagining new futures for how we generate, store, and distribute energy.
Less than 20 spots left for tomorrows event. We did an intro call last week with all the speakers, and it's going to be a conversation you don't want to miss.

there is nothing like Plot, and there is no one like @aliceyuanzhang
Plot 田 is a community space and bookshop in Los Angeles’ Chinatown founded by artist @aliceyuanzhang. Alice has also described it variously as a “rec room,” “living room,” and a “pond” for thinking and making.
