ComfyUI gets low-VRAM support for ByteDance Lance-3B and PiD

A new custom node for ComfyUI, "Lance-3B AIO," has been developed to enable the ByteDance Lance-3B model to run on GPUs with as little as 12GB of VRAM, significantly reducing the original 40GB requirement. This node leverages ComfyUI's dynamic VRAM feature for on-the-fly loading and offloading of model parts. Additionally, an update to the ComfyUI-PiD custom node introduces more backbones, improved workflows, and further memory optimizations for low-VRAM GPUs. AI

IMPACT Enhances accessibility of advanced AI models for users with less powerful hardware, potentially broadening adoption.

RANK_REASON Updates to custom nodes for an existing platform (ComfyUI) that improve performance and accessibility, rather than a new model release or core platform update.
