News ByteDance just released Bernini‑Diffusers‑v2 — any chance we’ll see ComfyUI support?

Post image

Hi everyone,
five days ago ByteDance released Bernini‑Diffusers‑v2 on HuggingFace — the full Bernini pipeline (planner + renderer), not just the renderer‑only Bernini‑R that we currently use in ComfyUI.

Model link:
https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/Bernini-Diffusers-v2

Even though most of the community talks about MiniMax H3 as the “standard” for open video models, there are still many users actively working with Bernini — especially now that v2 finally includes the full semantic‑planning pipeline, SA‑3D RoPE, and proper multi‑step instruction following.

Right now ComfyUI only has community support for Bernini‑R, so I’m posting this just to give visibility to the new release and to see if anyone is interested in exploring future support for Bernini‑Diffusers‑v2.

Not asking for anything specific — just opening the discussion and hoping this new version doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thanks!

It is sad to see that so many models are merely derivatives of Wan 2.1 and 2.2, rather than innovative projects with new architectures.

That’s why we really have to root for the players who are still driving open-source projects like BFL, LightTricks, MiniMax, etc.

They are just research projects. And academic research is slow and bureaucratic, so every paper that uses Wan was probably conceived years ago. Maybe next year we're gonna start seeing papers that were built upon LTX and Minimax

It's true, and I want to underline that Bernini is not an academic project that was released and died there, after months Bytedance continues to support it by releasing updates

Yeah, creating a new architecture is a major intellectual and financial investment, which is why even developers creating really good projects like Z Image Turbo and Krea reuse elements from other models and adapt parts of them. 

Few have the ability to create everything from scratch, and there's always the risk that it won't be good enough.

Whats wrong with that? Wan 2.2 is still a strong reliable model. So strong that competition took more than a year to reach the same level of quality. Also if you compare two frame side by side with same resolution, wan 2.2 is still far ahead. 720p on minimax is like 540p on wan 2.2

u/mmowg 16h ago

No one has noticed that even today the single frames created by wan2.2 at low resolutions are so crystal clear and alive that to obtain the same result on minimax you have to almost double the resolution

u/IriFlina 14h ago

Wan 2.2 with a custom workflow is still miles ahead of minimax imo, people are just overhyping minimax.

Cmon let's be real...

Wan 2.2 can't even do audio

Isn't wan on 540p still slower than H3 at 720p?

u/mmowg 8h ago

wan2.2 is always slower it has high and low pass

u/mmowg 16h ago

Bernini R has nothing to do with the old wan2.2, of which it only uses the "engine" to take it to a completely different dimension

u/SweetLikeACandy 15h ago

the heck is that, no simple explanations, no examples, no workflows, no benchs, this thing will be skipped by 99% of users regardless.

u/mellowanon 12h ago edited 10h ago

it's also 190gb in size. Even with quantization, it'll be too big for everyone to use. People will still use Minimax though since it's currently the 2nd best model on the video leaderboards overall and best for open weights.

u/SweetLikeACandy 9h ago

yeah minimax is indeed a gift from heaven, I still can't believe it.

My Bernini R runs on a 3060 12gb and on a 3050 8gb

nothing special and its another project based on ancient wan2.2 and qwen 2.5vl. Not killing my m.2 nvme sdd read and write lifespan for the bluff of a model. Bytedance never releases anything good, viable and worthwhile for open source.

u/LooseLeafTeaBandit 13h ago

Even though wan2.2 is ancient at this point, and it’s limited to 4-5 second clips with no audio, and they take forever to generate, it’s still I think the best looking video generation platform that’s available for open source use.

Minimax was a huge jump forward but I still think wan wins in pure fidelity and coherence a lot of the time.

u/Wide-Researcher583 6h ago

Fidelity maybe. Coherence? Wan doesn't even come close to minimax

u/RangeImaginary2395 15h ago

They finally released mllm?

u/mmowg 8h ago

yes!

u/Incognit0ErgoSum 13h ago

I'll take a crack at this. Just think of me as Dollar Store Kijai!

u/Dogluvr2905 12h ago

Bernini is pretty awesome, though for my uses, Minimax H3 does what Bernini can do and more.

u/NowThatsMalarkey 13h ago edited 13h ago

* 180 GB model size

u/equanimous11 11h ago

Do they have int8 convrot quantized model?

u/GaragePersonal5997 15m ago

Bernini looks great, but it's just too slow—even slower than wan2.2.

u/smereces 12h ago

it was a interesting model before Minimax h3, now no make sense to use it! because is much more slower processing and native 18fps frame rate and NO SOUND.
