ComfyUI-R1: Exploring Reasoning Models for Workflow Generation (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | ComfyUI-R1 is the first large reasoning model for automated workflow generation. |
| Approach: | They propose a large reasoning model for automated workflow generation that builds on curated knowledge bases and a two-stage framework to fine-tune models for cold start and reinforcement learning for incentivizing reasoning capability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 97% format validity rate, high pass rate, node-level and graph-level F1 scores, surpassing prior state-of-the-art methods that employ leading closed-source models such as GPT-4o and Claude series. |
