ModelPatchLoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

The ModelPatchLoader node loads a model patch file from the modelpatches folder and prepares it for use in a workflow.

The ModelPatchLoader node loads a model patch file from the model_patches folder and prepares it for use in a workflow. It automatically detects the type of patch contained in the file, builds the matching architecture, loads the saved weights, and wraps everything in a model patcher so it can be applied to other models. It supports many specialized patch formats, including extra ControlNet branches, feature embedder models, adapters, and similar modules.
