						|  | ![FLUX.1 [schnell] Grid](./schnell_grid.jpeg) | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | `FLUX.1 [schnell]` is a 12 billion parameter rectified flow transformer capable of generating images from text descriptions. | 
					
						
						|  | For more information, please read our [blog post](https://blackforestlabs.ai/announcing-black-forest-labs/). | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | # Key Features | 
					
						
						|  | 1. Cutting-edge output quality and competitive prompt following, matching the performance of closed source alternatives. | 
					
						
						|  | 2. Trained using latent adversarial diffusion distillation, `FLUX.1 [schnell]` can generate high-quality images in only 1 to 4 steps. | 
					
						
						|  | 3. Released under the `apache-2.0` licence, the model can be used for personal, scientific, and commercial purposes. | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | # Usage | 
					
						
						|  | We provide a reference implementation of `FLUX.1 [schnell]`, as well as sampling code, in a dedicated [github repository](https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux). | 
					
						
						|  | Developers and creatives looking to build on top of `FLUX.1 [schnell]` are encouraged to use this as a starting point. | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | ## API Endpoints | 
					
						
						|  | The FLUX.1 models are also available via API from the following sources | 
					
						
						|  | - [bfl.ml](https://docs.bfl.ml/) (currently `FLUX.1 [pro]`) | 
					
						
						|  | - [replicate.com](https://replicate.com/collections/flux) | 
					
						
						|  | - [fal.ai](https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux/schnell) | 
					
						
						|  | - [mystic.ai](https://www.mystic.ai/black-forest-labs/flux1-schnell) | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | ## ComfyUI | 
					
						
						|  | `FLUX.1 [schnell]` is also available in [Comfy UI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI) for local inference with a node-based workflow. | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | ## Diffusers | 
					
						
						|  | To use `FLUX.1 [schnell]` with the 🧨 diffusers python library, first install or upgrade diffusers | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | ```shell | 
					
						
						|  | pip install -U diffusers | 
					
						
						|  | ``` | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | Then you can use `FluxPipeline` to run the model | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | ```python | 
					
						
						|  | 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 some VRAM by offloading the model to CPU. Remove this if you have enough 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") | 
					
						
						|  | ``` | 
					
						
						|  |  |

						|  | # Limitations | 
					
						
						|  | - This model is not intended or able to provide factual information. | 
					
						
						|  | - As a statistical model this checkpoint might amplify existing societal biases. | 
					
						
						|  | - The model may fail to generate output that matches the prompts. | 
					
						
						|  | - Prompt following is heavily influenced by the prompting-style. | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | # Out-of-Scope Use | 
					
						
						|  | The model and its derivatives may not be used | 
					
						
						|  |  | 
					
						
						|  | - In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state, local or international law or regulation. | 
					
						
						|  | - For the purpose of exploiting, harming or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way; including but not limited to the solicitation, creation, acquisition, or dissemination of child exploitative content. | 
					
						
						|  | - To generate or disseminate verifiably false information and/or content with the purpose of harming others. | 
					
						
						|  | - To generate or disseminate personal identifiable information that can be used to harm an individual. | 
					
						
						|  | - To harass, abuse, threaten, stalk, or bully individuals or groups of individuals. | 
					
						
						|  | - To create non-consensual nudity or illegal pornographic content. | 
					
						
						|  | - For fully automated decision making that adversely impacts an individual's legal rights or otherwise creates or modifies a binding, enforceable obligation. | 
					
						
						|  | - Generating or facilitating large-scale disinformation campaigns. |
