Model Overview

FLUX.1-dev is a 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer for text-to-image generation. This open-weights model delivers quality second only to its professional variant while maintaining competitive prompt following capabilities. Created by black-forest-labs, it operates alongside specialized variants including FLUX.1-Depth-dev, FLUX.1-Fill-dev, FLUX.1-Redux-dev, and FLUX.1-Canny-dev.

Model Inputs and Outputs

The model transforms text descriptions into detailed images through a guidance-distilled training approach that enhances efficiency. It supports various integration methods including Python's diffusers library, ComfyUI, and multiple API endpoints.

Inputs

  • Text prompts with up to 512 tokens
  • Image dimensions up to 1024x1024 pixels
  • Generation parameters including guidance scale and inference steps

Outputs

  • High-quality images matching text descriptions
  • Flexible resolution outputs based on specified dimensions
  • Consistent artistic style across generations

Capabilities

The transformer architecture enables pr...
