ImportError: enable_model_cpu_offload requires accelerate v0.17.0 or higher

[wuyuze99]

Hello everyone,

I am new to using ComfyUI. When I click 'Queue Prompt', I keep getting an error stating "no accelerate", even though I have already installed accelerate v0.31.0.

I found a suggestion in this GitHub issue to replace pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() with pipe.to("cuda"). However, for me, it just gets stuck after "Loading pipeline components...: 100%" is finished, meaning there is no error code, but also no further output.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure that you're showing the list of the comfy venv and not your system install of python? To check comfy's venv, you'd need to run RESTOFYOURPATH\ComfyUI\python_embeded\python -m pip list to show it. Any time you want to install or upgrade something for comfy, you need to call that exact \ComfyUI\python_embeded\python -m pip STUFF otherwise, you'll likely just be changing stuff with your global install of python.

So what you'd need to run would be c:\comfyui_windows_portable\comfyui\python_embeded\python -m pip install accelerate and if that doesn't work, add --upgrade to the end of that command

Here's an example of what I mean showing the difference:
