The model dates from 2022; Comfy-Org describes the repository as preservation for technical and accessibility purposes, including legacy model testing.
The repository includes v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors, which Comfy-Org says is hash-identical to the file originally uploaded by RunwayML. It also includes an FP16 conversion with an added metadata header. The model card gives a ComfyUI checkpoint-folder layout and carries the creativeml-openrail-m licence label.
The page reported 1,547,988 downloads in the prior month and said no inference provider had deployed the model. It also states that v1.5 is several major generations behind current models. The source does not establish why RunwayML removed its page, whether RunwayML endorsed this re-upload, or whether the download figure reflects distinct users or production use.
