Latest update (11-11 11:56): ComfyUI v0.45.0 doubles Qwen3.x local text generation speed

Overview: ComfyUI says its v0.45.0 update roughly doubles Qwen3.x token generation speed on the same hardware and checkpoints, without changing model quality. In ComfyUI's own benchmarks on an RTX 5090, Qwen3.5 9B rose from 106 to 219 tokens per second, and Qwen3.8 27B describing a 1536×1536 image rose from 55 to 122. The company attributes the gains to a rewritten linear kernel, adaptive tree multi-token prediction, and a new attention path.

According to the same post, the improvements run on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs under Windows and Linux and need no extra setup beyond updating to ComfyUI v0.45.0.
