Model overview

The flux-schnell-lora model is the fastest image generation model from Black Forest Labs, tailored for fine-tuned use. It powers the FLUX.1 [schnell] and FLUX.1 [dev] models on Replicate. This model focuses on speed and efficiency, aiming to generate high-quality images quickly for rapid iteration and experimentation.

Model inputs and outputs

The flux-schnell-lora model takes a text prompt as input and generates an image as output. The model supports optional configuration settings such as aspect ratio, number of outputs, and inference steps, allowing users to fine-tune the generation process.

Inputs

Prompt: The text prompt describing the desired image
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio for the generated image
Num Outputs: The number of images to generate
Num Inference Steps: The number of denoising steps to perform during image generation
Seed: A random seed for reproducible generation
Output Format: The format of the output images (WEBP, JPG, or PNG)
Output Quality: The quality of the output images (0-100)
Disable Safety Checker: Option to disable the safety checker for generated images
Go Fast: Option to run faster predictions with a model optimized for speed (currently fp8 quantized)
Lora Scale: Determines how strongly the main LoRA should be applied
Lora Weights: Allows loading LoRA weights from various sources
