FLUX
Image generation model from Black Forest Labs. It has become a representative of the open source camp with its realistic image quality.
It is an image creation model created by the German startup Black Forest Labs, and is the work of a company founded by the core developers of Stable Diffusion. It received a lot of attention immediately after its release due to its realistic image quality and text expression.
Some versions have been released as open-weight and can be run directly on one's computer or server, making it popular with creators and developers who are deeply involved in image creation. It is also used as a base model for several image creation services.
Unlike Midjourney, which is closed, it is considered a representative of the open model camp and is evaluated as a model that continues the lineage of Stable Diffusion.
