What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Check the date source
Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

ComfyUI defaults to Pro Distill. Full Pro requires its separate transformer and 50-step settings; the managed button does not download it.

Open the publisher Kandinsky 6 ComfyUI video-plus-audio template. For the full Pro checkpoint on this model page, use the managed component bundle plus its separately downloaded gated transformer and 50-step settings. Switch to Pro Distill for the easier 10-step alternative.

THE WORKFLOW

Set up Kandinsky 6 Pro · text to video + audio on your machine

Choose your computer first, then its GPU path. Use the built-in workspace; no workflow import is needed.

CHOOSE YOUR SETUPWindows
Other operating systems

Mac: The publisher ComfyUI integration documents NVIDIA dependencies and no verified Apple Silicon audio-video route for this exact pipeline. Use a private compatible Linux NVIDIA host from macOS. Compatibility source

02

Install Kandinsky nodes in ComfyUI Manager

In Manager, search the publisher kandinskylab extensions kandinsky6 and kandinsky6-sr. Install both and restart ComfyUI. The bundled templates use both extensions. Confirm the Kandinsky 6 menu appears before continuing.

Publisher node names and requirements
03

Open the matching video-and-audio template

Choose Workflow → Browse Templates → kandinsky6 → Kandinsky 6.0 Text to Video+Audio. The template is bundled with the publisher extension; confirm all nodes load and enter a short scene and sound description in Beautify Prompt.

Publisher template and operation guide
04

Download and check the model components

Click Download models in the template setup note, or use Kandinsky 6 → Kandinsky 6 — Download models. The publisher button places Pro Distill, Qwen3.5-9B, Qwen2.5, CLIP, the video and audio VAEs, BigVGAN and VSR with their JSON configs in the correct ComfyUI folders. Allow substantial disk space. Confirm every model loader is resolved and the managed downloads are complete. If the weights are gated, accept their terms on Hugging Face and authenticate on this private host.

Switch from default Pro Distill to full Pro

The Download models button installs Pro Distill, not the full non-distilled Pro transformer. After accepting the Pro checkpoint access terms, download its transformer separately to ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/Kandinsky-6.0-Pro-5s-Diffusers/transformer/diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors, restart ComfyUI and select that exact transformer in Load Diffusion Model. Do not assume the default Distill file is full Pro.

Choose a short first render

In the template select the full Pro transformer, 50 steps, CFG 5 and audio VAE scaling 0.5302. Start with 864×480 and 121 frames at 24 fps, about five seconds. Describe both the visible motion and audible sound. Keep weight_dtype=default.

Queue and inspect the MP4 with sound

Click Queue in ComfyUI. Open the completed MP4 in its output/preview area, play it with audio enabled, and confirm visible motion and audible sound. If the output is silent, check the audio-caption and video-plus-audio template before increasing resolution or duration.

A playable five-second MP4 with sound

The exported MP4 has motion and audible synchronized sound. Image mode visibly begins from the selected source image. Check duration and audio in a real player.

This source-verified guide follows the publisher ComfyUI integration. Full Pro is selected because this model page is for Pro; Pro Distill is the simpler alternate. YouRunAI has not rendered or benchmarked either route.

Back to setup steps

When it doesn’t go to plan

Kandinsky nodes are missing or the template shows red nodes.

Update ComfyUI, install both publisher extensions kandinsky6 and kandinsky6-sr through Manager, then restart and reopen the exact video-plus-audio template.

A model loader is unresolved or access is denied.

Click the publisher Download models control and wait for every component. For the full Pro alternate, accept the checkpoint terms and place its separately downloaded transformer in the exact linked folder.

The short render runs out of GPU or system memory.

Begin with Pro Distill, 864×480 and 121 frames; verify offload and host-memory capacity before selecting full Pro or renting a larger pod.

The MP4 has no audible sound.

Use the Text to Video+Audio or Image to Video+Audio template, describe sound in the audio caption, and play the exported MP4 in an audio-enabled viewer.
