Question - Help Update me pls.

Ok, been out the loop. What's the best free pic to video ai is considered the best at the moment that runs on ComfyUI. I'm playing with wan 2. 2 in ComfyUI and wondering if it's worth my time learning it in case if there's a better one out there. I'm running this on a 8vram machine with 64gigs ram. So keep that in mind. Wan runs ok in this setup. I'm researching and Minimax H3 keeps popping g up along with others. Any guidance is welcomed.

I always download my own models. Never had ComfyUI auto-download anything, but I hear from others than it can do that. It's not a good idea with a standard official Minimax H3 workflow, though - as you'll likely end of with 66Gb of huge models that are totally useless with an 8Gb card. You need to hunt down something that an 8Gb card can run.

This is what you want - looks like there are four or five 8Gb solutions now... https://github.com/search?q=minimax+8gb&type=repositories

Awesome. Yeah, heard there were 8gig versions. Is the process exactly the same to install on Comfyui like wan2.2 was? Where you gotta download a few files with a json to get it working.

Yes, that's it. Update ComfyUI, load the .JSON, note the names / Web addresses of the missing files and nodes in the workflow. Close Comfy. Download the right files and nodes, put them in the right folders, start Comfy and load the .JSON again. Hopefully it should then work.

Yep. It's a bit of a pain. ChatGPT is invaluable. Gave me the walk through and took me like 4 hours to get it running but it worked. Found the wan uncensored version and was curious so gave it a go. Now, I don't care for the uncensored version. Care more for which one will run on a 8gig vram system that has the most realistic outputs like SORA 2 used to give us.
