FLUX.1[schnell]
is a 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer capable of generating images from text descriptions.
Key Features
- Delivers exceptional output quality and competitive prompt adherence, rivaling closed-source alternatives.
- Powered by latent adversarial diffusion distillation, FLUX.1 [schnell] produces high-quality images in just 1 to 4 steps.
- Licensed under Apache 2.0, allowing for personal, scientific, and commercial use.
Usage
A reference implementation of FLUX.1 [schnell], along with sample code, is available in a dedicated GitHub repository. Developers and creatives are encouraged to use this as a foundation for building on FLUX.1 [schnell].
API Endpoints
The FLUX.1 models can also be accessed via API from the following sources:
- bfl.ml (currently FLUX.1 [pro])
- replicate.com
- fal.ai
- mystic.ai
ComfyUI
FLUX.1 [schnell] is integrated into ComfyUI, enabling local inference through a node-based workflow.
Diffusers
To run FLUX.1 [schnell] with the 🧨 Diffusers Python library, first install or update Diffusers:
pip install -U diffusers
Then, you can use FluxPipeline to execute the model:
import torch
from diffusers import FluxPipeline
pipe = FluxPipeline.from_pretrained("black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() # Save VRAM by offloading the model to CPU. Remove this if you have sufficient GPU power.
prompt = "A cat holding a sign that says hello world"
image = pipe(
prompt,
guidance_scale=0.0,
num_inference_steps=4,
max_sequence_length=256,
generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(0)
).images[0]
image.save("flux-schnell.png")
For further details, refer to the Diffusers documentation.
Limitations
- This model is not designed to provide factual information.
- As a statistical model, it may reflect existing societal biases.
- Prompt adherence may vary, influenced by the style of prompting.
Out-of-Scope Use
The model and its derivatives must not be used:
- In any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
- To exploit, harm, or attempt to harm minors, including creating or distributing child exploitative content.
- To generate or disseminate false information with the intent to harm.
- To generate or distribute personally identifiable information that could harm individuals.
- For harassment, abuse, threats, stalking, or bullying.
- To create non-consensual nudity or illegal pornographic content.
- For fully automated decision-making that negatively impacts legal rights or creates binding obligations.
- To facilitate or generate large-scale disinformation campaigns.
