When I first saw images generated by the Flux.1 models from Black Forest Labs, I had to pause and wonder whether they were AI-generated or crafted by a human. The most exciting part? Some of these models come with open weights, so you can try them out too!

The FLUX.1 models include three variants, each designed for different needs:

  • FLUX.1 [pro]: Delivers the highest quality, but the weights aren’t available. It’s intended for commercial use.
  • FLUX.1 [dev]: Offers great quality with open weights, perfect for non-commercial projects.
  • FLUX.1 [schnell]: Provides decent quality with faster inference speeds, ideal for local deployment-perfect for developers working on personal projects.
