LaMa Inpainting Model (big-lama)

Mirror of the LaMa (Large Mask Inpainting) model checkpoint, converted to safetensors format for safe, pickle-free loading. Hosted by Æmotion Studio for use with ComfyUI-FFMPEGA.

Model Details

Original source: enesmsahin/simple-lama-inpainting

Usage

This model is automatically downloaded by ComfyUI-FFMPEGA when the AI Object Removal skill is used. No manual setup is required if allow_model_downloads is enabled on the FFMPEG Agent node.

Manual Installation

1. Download big-lama.safetensors from this repo
2. Place it in ~/.cache/torch/hub/checkpoints/

Why safetensors?

The original big-lama.pt is a TorchScript JIT model that uses Python's pickle serialization — which can execute arbitrary code on load. The safetensors format stores only tensor data, eliminating this risk.

Why This Mirror?

This is a first-party mirror maintained by Æmotion Studio to ensure supply chain resilience. If the upstream source becomes unavailable, FFMPEGA will still be able to download the model from this mirror.
