# ComfyUI-PrismAudio Custom nodes for [PrismAudio](https://github.com/FunAudioLLM/ThinkSound) (ICLR 2026) — video-to-audio and text-to-audio generation using decomposed Chain-of-Thought reasoning with a 518M parameter DiT diffusion model and Stable Audio 2.0 VAE. ## Installation Clone into your ComfyUI custom nodes directory: ```bash cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes git clone -b prismaudio https://github.com/FunAudioLLM/ThinkSound ComfyUI-PrismAudio pip install -r ComfyUI-PrismAudio/requirements.txt ``` **flash-attn** is optional. It is detected at runtime and falls back to PyTorch SDPA if unavailable. For the **Feature Extractor** node (video feature extraction), a separate conda environment is required — see [Feature Extraction Environment](#feature-extraction-environment) below. ## Nodes | Node | Description | |------|-------------| | **PrismAudio Model Loader** | Loads the diffusion model and VAE. Auto-downloads weights from HuggingFace. Inputs: `precision` (auto/fp32/fp16/bf16), `offload_strategy` (auto/keep_in_vram/offload_to_cpu). | | **PrismAudio Feature Loader** | Loads pre-computed `.npz` feature files for use with the sampler. | | **PrismAudio Feature Extractor** | Subprocess bridge that extracts features from video. Requires a separate conda env with JAX/TF. | | **PrismAudio Sampler** | Main generation node. Takes model + features, produces AUDIO. Inputs: `duration`, `steps`, `cfg_scale`, `seed`. | | **PrismAudio Text Only** | Text-to-audio generation without video. Uses the T5-Gemma text encoder. Inputs: `text_prompt`, `duration`, `steps`, `cfg_scale`, `seed`. | ## Workflows ### Quality Path (Video-to-Audio) ``` Video → PrismAudio Feature Extractor → PrismAudio Sampler → Save Audio ``` ### Pre-computed Path ``` PrismAudio Feature Loader (.npz) → PrismAudio Sampler → Save Audio ``` ### Text-Only ``` PrismAudio Text Only → Save Audio ``` > **Note:** CoT text is a STRING input on the sampler. You can use any existing ComfyUI LLM nodes to generate it. ## HuggingFace Authentication Required for gated models (T5-Gemma, and possibly Stable Audio VAE). 1. Visit and accept the license. 2. Authenticate via one of: - **Environment variable:** `export HF_TOKEN=hf_...` - **CLI login:** `huggingface-cli login` There is no `hf_token` widget on the nodes by design — ComfyUI saves all STRING values to workflow JSON, which would expose your token. ## Model Files Weights are auto-downloaded to `ComfyUI/models/prismaudio/`: | File | Size | Description | |------|------|-------------| | `prismaudio.ckpt` | ~2.7 GB | Diffusion model | | `vae.ckpt` | ~2.5 GB | Stable Audio 2.0 VAE | | `synchformer_state_dict.pth` | ~950 MB | Synchformer | T5-Gemma is cached in the standard HuggingFace cache directory (`~/.cache/huggingface/`). ## VRAM Requirements | VRAM | Strategy | |------|----------| | 24 GB+ | Keep all models in VRAM | | 12–24 GB | Sequential offload | | 8–12 GB | Aggressive offload + fp16 | | < 8 GB | May work with aggressive offload | ## Feature Extraction Environment The **PrismAudio Feature Extractor** node runs extraction in a subprocess using a separate Python environment (JAX/TF dependencies). ```bash conda env create -f scripts/environment.yml conda activate prismaudio-extract ``` Then set the `python_env` input on the Feature Extractor node to: ``` /path/to/conda/envs/prismaudio-extract/bin/python ``` ## Troubleshooting - **Gated model errors** — Accept the license at and set `HF_TOKEN`. - **VRAM errors** — Switch `offload_strategy` to `offload_to_cpu`, or use `fp16` precision. - **flash-attn** — Purely optional. Auto-detected at runtime; falls back to PyTorch SDPA. ## Credits PrismAudio by [FunAudioLLM](https://github.com/FunAudioLLM) (ICLR 2026). [Paper & code](https://github.com/FunAudioLLM/ThinkSound).
