Don’t understand the remove from face example. Without other pictures showing the persons face, it’s just using some stereotypical image, no?

There's no "truth" it's uncovering, no real face, these are all just generated images, yes.

I get that but usually you would have two inputs, the reference “true”, and the target that it to be manipulated.

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 ?

Windows is mostly the issue, to really take advantage, you will need linux.

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 May I ask on which GPU & VRAM? edit: oh unless you just meant through huggingface's UI

It is through Replicate's UI listed, which goes through Black Forest Labs's infra so would likely get the same results from their API.

I think they are doing that because using real images the model changes the face. So that problem is removed if the initial image doesn't show the face

Even using WSL2 with Ubuntu isn't good enough ?

Hopefully they list this on HuggingFace for the opensource community. It looks like a great model!

From their site they will be releasing the DEV version - which is a distilled variant - so quality and adherence will suffer unfortunately.

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.

Well thank you I will test that
