You can try the models here: (available without sign-in) FLUX.1 [schnell] (Apache 2.0, open weights, step distilled): https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux/schnell (requires sign-in) FLUX.1 [dev] (non-commercial, open weights, guidance distilled): https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux/dev FLUX.1 [pro] (closed source [only available thru APIs], SOTA, raw): https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux-pro

Requires sign-in with a GitHub account, unfortunately.

hi friends! burkay from fal.ai here. would like to clarify that the model is NOT built by fal. all credit should go to Black Forest Labs (https://blackforestlabs.ai/) which is a new co by the OG stable diffusion team.

what we did at fal is take the model and run it on our inference engine optimized to run these kinds of models really really fast. feel free to give it a shot on the playgrounds. https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux/dev

I think they may have turned on the gating some time after this was submitted to HackerNews. Earlier this morning I definitely ran the model several times without signing in at all (not via GitHub, not via anything). But now it says "Sign in to run".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hmm I was able to try the model myself (generated a handful of images) and didn't log in.

It’s a fal login, which is linked/federated with GitHub if you have done that before. It takes zero time to “make an account”.

i just updated the links to clarify which models require sign-in and which doesn't!

> We are excited to introduce Flux

I'd suggest re-wording the blog post intro, it reads as if it was created by Fal.

Specific phrases to change:

> Announcing Flux

(from the title)

> We are excited to introduce Flux

> Flux comes in three powerful variations:

This section also comes across as if you created it

> We invite you to try Flux for yourself.

Reads as if you're the creator

Seems to do pretty poorly with spatial relationships.

"An upside down house" -> regular old house

"A horse sitting on a dog" -> horse and dog next to eachother

"An inverted Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor" -> yikes https://fal.media/files/koala/zgPYG6SqhD4Y3y_E9MONu.png
