It’s been a few weeks since there’s been nothing else on the lips of Stable Diffusion fans but Flux (Flux Pro, etc.). A model that has come to make history. An enormous model (initially 24GB) can generate anatomical parts like never before. Perfect hands and feet, with balanced fingers, good poses, etc. The rest of the anatomy doesn’t disappoint (except for the nudes; Flux isn’t censored, but there are gaps in training). Overall, its quality is good—much better than other models for SD.
To run Flux, the best option is to go to the website https://fluxpro.art.
If you want to run it locally, prepare to suffer a bit. Its installation is not simple; it doesn’t work like a model that you download and add to your collection. It’s more complex. There are several repositories on GitHub, various versions of models, and workflows on Civitai and Huggingface. For those who prefer convenience, the website is much easier to use.
Despite having billions of trained tokens, it sometimes produces curious results. “Nordic female” often results in elven characters. Why? There’s no answer. Public figures, celebrities, etc., are not its strong suit. However, when it hits the mark, the result is excellent.
Does this seem like Jack Nicholson to you? It has features, but it’s not him. As an unknown human, though, it’s very good.
The positive part is that you can use it for free, for now, and generate as many images as you want. Flux Pro Art will generate 1, 2, 3, or 4 images per prompt depending on the current traffic. Remember that there’s no censorship, but everything you generate is public, so appropriately tag your content with the Safe, Mild, Mature, and Explicit buttons, or whatever exists when you try it. Previously, everything was reduced to a single checkbox labeled as NSFW.
There’s no inpaint, IP, ControlNet, or anything like that. Pure prompts and nothing more.
Let’s remember that it’s a new model; it lacks maturity and a better distribution for easy local use. So the verdict can only be bravo! And wait for future improvements, which will surely come.
