InvokeAI Commercial Platform Shuts Down, Open-Source Project Continues (softuts.com)

InvokeAI has officially shut down its commercial platform, including its hosted services, following the acquisition of key team members by Adobe in late October 2025. Adobe has decided not to acquire the InvokeAI open-source project, allowing it to continue thriving independently. The team members joining Adobe will help integrate Invoke’s innovative node-based workflow into the company's future AI creative tools. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it highlights the ongoing shift towards open-source solutions amidst corporate acquisitions. While hosted users must now migrate to self-hosting solutions or other platforms, such as ViewComfy, open-source users retain full access to the InvokeAI project without any fees or subscriptions. As community-driven updates and support continue for the open-source version, InvokeAI’s legacy of seamless asset generation is preserved, ensuring that developers and artists can further innovate with its robust capabilities.
