Model overview

The hyper-flux-8step is a text-to-image AI model developed by ByteDance, the creators of TikTok. It is an implementation of the ByteDance/Hyper-SD FLUX.1-dev 8-step model as a Cog model. The model is capable of generating high-quality images from text prompts in 8 steps, using a technique called LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). This model is similar to other ByteDance text-to-image models like sdxl-lightning-4step and the FLUX.1-Dev LoRA explorer developed by lucataco.

Model inputs and outputs

The hyper-flux-8step model takes a text prompt as the main input and generates one or more images in response. The model supports additional inputs like seed, aspect ratio, number of outputs, and guidance scale to control the generation process.

Inputs

Prompt: The text prompt that describes the desired image.
Seed: A random seed value to ensure reproducible generation.
Width: The width of the generated image (only used when aspect_ratio is set to "custom").
Height: The height of the generated image (only used when aspect_ratio is set to "custom").
Num Outputs: The number of images to generate (up to 4).
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio of the generated image, which can be set to a predefined value or "custom".
Guidance Scale: The guidance scale for the diffusion process, which controls the trade-off between image quality and faithfulness to the prompt.
Num Inference Steps: The number of inference steps to perform during the generation process.
Output Format: The format of the output images (e.g., WEBP, PNG).
Output Quality: The quality of the output images (0-100).
Disable Safety Checker: An option to disable the safety checker for the generated images.
