FLUX is fast and it's open source – Replicate
FLUX is now much faster on Replicate, and we’ve made our optimizations open-source so you can see exactly how they work and build upon them.
Most of the models on Replicate are contributed by our community, but we maintain the FLUX models in collaboration with Black Forest Labs.
The quantization in flux-fp8-api slightly changes the output of the model, but we have found it has little impact on the quality.
We’ve created a tool that compares the output of thousands of prompts on FLUX.1 [schnell] and FLUX.1 [dev]. We’re not cherry picking. Take a look for yourself.
We want to be open with you about how we’re optimizing the models. It’s notoriously hard to compare output between models and providers, and it’s often unclear whether providers are doing things that impact the quality of the model.
We’re just going to tell you how we did it and let you disable any optimizations. That means you’re not wondering whether the output you’re getting is the best quality it can be.
