ComfyUI raises 30 million and reaches 500 million valuation for creator controlled AI media

A new funding round targets deeper creative control

ComfyUI, a toolset that lets creators steer AI image, video, and audio generation, has raised $30 million and reportedly hit a $500 million valuation. The startup’s pitch centers on giving artists more control rather than pushing fully automated outputs, as demand grows for workflows that feel more like traditional creation than black-box generation.
