Currently am testing this out (using the Replicate endpoint: https://replicate.com/black-forest-labs/flux-kontext-pro). Replicate also hosts "apps" with examples using FLUX Kontext for some common use cases of image editing: https://replicate.com/flux-kontext-apps

It's pretty good: quality of the generated images is similar to that of GPT-4o image generation if you were using it for simple image-to-image generations. Generation is speedy at about ~4 seconds per generation.

Prompt engineering outside of the examples used on this page is a little fussy and I suspect will evolve over time. Changing styles or specific aspects does indeed work, but the more specific you get, the more it tends to ignore the specifics.

Technical report here for those curious: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/gsvmb6gz/production/880b07220899...

Seems implementation is straightforward (very similar to everyone else, HiDream-E1, ICEdit, DreamO etc.), the magic is on data curation (which details are lightly shared).

How knowledgable do you need to be to tweak and train this locally ? I spent two days trying to train a LoRa customization on top of Flux 1 dev on Windows with my RTX 4090 but can’t make it work and I don’t know how deep into this topic and python library I need to study. Are there scripts kiddies in this game or only experts ?

It's normally easy to find it ore configured through comfyui.

Sometimes behind patreon if some YouTuber

Just use https://github.com/bghira/SimpleTuner

I was able to run this script to train a Lora myself without spending any time learning the underlying python libraries.

May I ask on which GPU & VRAM?

edit: oh unless you just meant through huggingface's UI

It still has no idea what a Model F keyboard looks like. I tried prompts and editing, and got things that weren't even close.

Interesting, would you mind sharing? (imgur allows free image uploads, quick drag and drop) I do have a "works on my machine"* :) -- prompt "Model F keyboard", all settings disabled, on the smaller model, seems to have substantially more than no idea: https://imgur.com/a/32pV6Sp (Google Images comparison included to show in-the-wild "Model F keyboard", which may differ from my/your expected distribution) * my machine…

Your generated examples just look like generic modern-day mechanical keyboards, they don't have any of the Model Fs defining features.

Your Google Images search indicates the original problem of models training on junk misinformation online. If AI scrapers are downloading every photo that's associated with "Model F Keyboard" like that, the models have no idea what is an IBM Model F, or its distinguishing characteristics, and what is some other company's, and what is misidentified.

Specifying "IBM Model F keyboard" and placing it in quotation marks improves the search. But the front page of the search is tip-of-the-iceberg compared to whatever the model's scrapers ingested.

Eventually you may hit trademark protections. Reproducing a brand-name keyboard may be as difficult as simulating a celebrity's likeness.

I'm not even sure what my friends look like on Facebook, so it's not clear how an AI model would reproduce a brand-name keyboard design on request.
