FLUX.1 [dev] is a sophisticated 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer capable of text-to-image generation.
Key Attributes
State-of-the-art output quality, second only to the premium FLUX.1 [pro] model.
Exceptional prompt adherence, matching closed-source alternatives.
Efficiency-enhanced through guidance distillation training.
Open-weight architecture to facilitate scientific research and empower artistic innovation.
The FLUX.1 suite comprises text-to-image models that establish new benchmarks in image detail, prompt fidelity, style diversity, and scene complexity for text-to-image synthesis.
To balance accessibility and capability, FLUX.1 is available in three variants: FLUX.1 [pro], FLUX.1 [dev], and FLUX.1 [schnell]:
FLUX.1 [pro]: The pinnacle of FLUX.1, delivering unparalleled image generation with superior prompt following, visual quality, image detail, and output diversity.
FLUX.1 [dev]: An open-weight, guidance-distilled model for non-commercial applications. Directly derived from FLUX.1 [pro], it maintains similar quality and prompt adherence while offering enhanced efficiency. FLUX.1 [dev] weights are accessible on HuggingFace.
FLUX.1 [schnell]: Our most rapid model, optimized for local development and personal use. FLUX.1 [schnell] is freely available under an Apache2.0 license. Like FLUX.1 [dev], its weights are available on Hugging Face, with inference code accessible on GitHub and HuggingFace's Diffusers.
Large-Scale Transformer-powered Flow Models
All public FLUX.1 models utilize a hybrid architecture of multimodal and parallel diffusion transformer blocks, scaled to 12B parameters. FLUX 1 enhances previous state-of-the-art diffusion models by incorporating flow matching, a versatile and conceptually straightforward method for training generative models, which encompasses diffusion as a special case.
Furthermore, FLUX 1 boosts model performance and hardware efficiency by integrating rotary positional embeddings and parallel attention layers.
Redefining Image Synthesis Benchmarks
FLUX.1 establishes new standards in image synthesis. FLUX.1 [pro] and [dev] outperform popular models like Midjourney v6.0, DALL·E 3 (HD), and SD3-Ultra across multiple dimensions: Visual Quality, Prompt Following, Size/Aspect Variability, Typography, and Output Diversity.
FLUX.1 [schnell] stands as the most advanced few-step model to date, surpassing not only its direct competitors but also robust non-distilled models like Midjourney v6.0 and DALL·E 3 (HD).
FLUX models are specifically fine-tuned to preserve the entire output diversity from pretraining, offering significantly enhanced possibilities compared to current state-of-the-art alternatives.
