Introduction of Flux 1 AI

State-of-the-art image generation with top of the line prompt following, visual quality, image detail and output diversity.

Flux.1 Model Family

We release the FLUX.1 suite of text-to-image models that define a new state-of-the-art in image detail, prompt adherence, style diversity and scene complexity for text-to-image synthesis. 

Transformer-powered Flow Models at Scale 

All public FLUX.1 models are based on a hybrid architecture of multimodal and parallel diffusion transformer blocks and scaled to 12B parameters. We improve over previous state-of-the-art diffusion models by building on flow matching, a general and conceptually simple method for training generative models, which includes diffusion as a special case. In addition, we increase model performance and improve hardware efficiency by incorporating rotary positional embeddings and parallel attention layers. We will publish a more detailed tech report in the near future.

A new Benchmark for Image Synthesis 

FLUX.1 defines the new state-of-the-art in image synthesis. Our models set new standards in their respective model class. FLUX.1 [pro] and [dev] surpass popular models like Midjourney v6.0, DALL·E 3 (HD) and SD3-Ultra in each of the following aspects: Visual Quality, Prompt Following, Size/Aspect Variability, Typography and Output Diversity. FLUX.1 [schnell] is the most advanced few-step model to date, outperforming not even its in-class competitors but also strong non-distilled models like Midjourney v6.0 and DALL·E 3 (HD) . Our models are specifically finetuned to preserve the entire output diversity from pretraining. Compared to the current state-of-the-art they offer drastically improved possibilities as shown below

All FLUX.1 model variants support a diverse range of aspect ratios and resolutions in 0.1 and 2.0 megapixels, as shown in the following example.

Up Next: SOTA Text-to-Video for All 

Today we release the FLUX.1 text-to-image model suite. With their strong creative capabilities, these models serve as a powerful foundation for our upcoming suite of competitive generative text-to-video systems. Our video models will unlock precise creation and editing at high definition and unprecedented speed. We are committed to continue pioneering the future of generative media.

"Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Black Forest Labs. Deeply rooted in the generative AI research community, our mission is to develop and advance state-of-the-art generative deep learning models for media such as images and videos, and to push the boundaries of creativity, efficiency and diversity. We believe that generative AI will be a fundamental building block of all future technologies. By making our models available to a wide audience, we want to bring its benefits to everyone, educate the public and enhance trust in the safety of these models. We are determined to build the industry standard for generative media. Today, as the first step towards this goal, we release the FLUX.1 suite of models that push the frontiers of text-to-image synthesis."
