Invoke acquired by Adobe; community edition continues development


Invoke was acquired by Adobe, and the team joined Adobe, which led to closure of the project's commercial arm and its Twitter account.

Project status

The project's open-source layer continues as the Community Edition on GitHub, with the same maintainers listed in the repository.

That arrangement means development will continue, although updates are expected to arrive less frequently than during active commercial operations.

New release highlights

After a period without releases, the repository received a new update that adds several capabilities relevant to image generation workflows.

  • Z-image support for PBR maps has been added, enabling texture outputs compatible with physically based rendering pipelines.
  • Prompt token weighting can now be specified, allowing finer control over how the model prioritizes individual words or phrases.
  • Selection masked regions can be exported directly, simplifying workflows that require partial image edits or compositing steps.
  • Additional adjustments and optimizations were included, focused on stability and compatibility with common inference backends.

Usage and integrations

For users who prefer a conventional interface instead of node-based layouts, Invoke provides a more familiar environment for image generation tasks.

Alternatively, users can integrate with Comfy via the project's workflow section for node-centric pipelines and advanced routing.

What this means for users

The commercial arm was closed and the project's social account was taken down following the team's transfer to Adobe, affecting support channels.

Community Edition remains the locus for contributions and issue tracking, and users should monitor the GitHub repository for future releases.

The recent patch indicates that the open-source fork continues to receive enhancements, preserving core functionality for research and practical usage.
