Model overview

AuraFlow is the largest completely open-sourced flow-based text-to-image generation model, developed by @cloneofsimo and @fal. It builds upon prior work in diffusion models to achieve state-of-the-art results on the GenEval benchmark. AuraFlow can be compared to other open-sourced models like SDXL-Lightning, Kolors, and Stable Diffusion, which all utilize different approaches to text-to-image generation.

Model inputs and outputs

AuraFlow is a text-to-image generation model that takes a text prompt as input and produces high-quality, photorealistic images as output. The model supports customization of various parameters like guidance scale, number of steps, image size, and more.

Inputs

Prompt: The text description of the desired image
Cfg: The guidance scale, controlling how closely the output matches the prompt
Seed: A seed for reproducible image generation
Shift: The timestep scheduling shift for managing noise in higher resolutions
Steps: The number of steps to run the model for
Width: The width of the output image
Height: The height of the output image
Sampler: The sampling algorithm to use
Scheduler: The scheduler to use
Output format: The format of the output images
Output quality: The quality of the output images
Negative prompt: Things to avoid in the generated image
