“Needed” adds 2 GB of working memory for HiDream-O1 and a 0.8 GB reserve. Sizes 2026-10-01. The Comfy-Org files are complete checkpoints (loaded from the checkpoints folder); there is no separate text encoder or VAE to add. No GGUF version was found.
03The text encoder
This model has no separate text encoder: reading the prompt is built into the model itself, so its memory is already in the file sizes above.
04Measured and reported results
Nobody has sent measured numbers for this pair yet. If you run HiDream-O1 on a RX 9070 XT 16 GB, send your time per image and peak VRAM and it will appear here, credited.
05About the RX 9070 XT 16 GB
ComfyUI supports AMD GPUs on Windows officially since v0.7.0 (January 2026), through ROCm. Memory works the same as on NVIDIA, so the fit verdicts apply. Some custom nodes are NVIDIA-only. RX 9000 (RDNA 4) GPUs have FP8 hardware, and ComfyUI computes FP8 natively on them with PyTorch 2.7+ and ROCm 6.4+.
