Announcing FLUX1.1 [pro] and the BFL API

Today, we release FLUX1.1 [pro], our most advanced and efficient model yet, alongside the general availability of the beta BFL API. This release marks a significant step forward in our mission to empower creators, developers, and enterprises with scalable, state-of-the-art generative technology.

FLUX1.1 [pro]: Faster & Better

FLUX1.1 [pro] provides six times faster generation than its predecessor FLUX.1 [pro] while also improving image quality, prompt adherence, and diversity. At the same time, we updated FLUX.1 [pro] to generate the same output as before, but two times faster.

  • Superior Speed and Efficiency: Faster generation times and reduced latency, enabling more efficient workflows. FLUX1.1 [pro] provides an ideal tradeoff between image quality and inference speed. FLUX1.1 [pro] is three times faster than the currently available FLUX.1 [pro]. 
  • Improved Performance: FLUX1.1 [pro] has been introduced and tested under the codename “blueberry” into the Artificial Analysis image arena (https://artificialanalysis.ai/text-to-image), a popular benchmark for text-to-image models. It surpasses all other models on the leaderboard, achieving the highest overall Elo score.

All metrics from artificialanalysis.ai as of Oct 1, 2024.

  • Fast High-res coming soon: FLUX1.1 [pro], natively set up for fast ultra high-resolution generation coming soon to the API. Generate up to 2k images without sacrificing any of the prompt following.

We are excited to announce that FLUX1.1 [pro] will also be available through Together.ai, Replicate, fal.ai, and Freepik.

Building with the BFL API

Our new beta BFL API brings FLUX’s capabilities directly to developers and businesses looking to integrate state-of-the-art image generation into their own applications. Our API stands out with key advantages over competitors:

  • Advanced Customization: Tailor the API outputs to your specific needs with customization options on model choice, image resolution, and content moderation.
  • Scalability: Seamlessly scale your applications, whether you are building small projects or enterprise-level applications.
  • Competitive pricing: The API offers superior image quality at a lower cost. The pricing for our FLUX.1 model suite is as follows:
    • FLUX.1 [dev]: 2.5 cts/img
    • FLUX.1 [pro]: 5 cts/img
    • FLUX1.1 [pro]: 4 cts/img
