The ModelPatchLoader node loads specialized model patches from the model\_patches folder. It automatically detects the type of patch file and loads the appropriate model architecture, then wraps it in a ModelPatcher for use in the workflow. This node supports different patch types including controlnet blocks and feature embedder models.
