Who it's for
- Those frustrated by blurry fingers or distorted text in images. It is highly rated for detailed depiction.
- Developers and creators who want to run an open model locally without generation limits.
- Developers looking to integrate the latest model into services via API. A commercial API is provided separately.
Drawbacks
- Licenses differ by version. Using a non-commercial version for commercial purposes can cause issues, so you must check each model's terms.
- Running it locally requires plenty of VRAM, and the setup process is tricky.
- It does not support Korean, and it lacks the extensive extensions and Korean resources of Stable Diffusion.
Getting started
- To try it without installing anything, select a FLUX model on web platforms like Krea and generate images.
- To run it locally, install a runtime tool like ComfyUI and download the model files.
- Enter an English prompt and generate. When adding text, enclose the wording in quotation marks.
- To use it via API, get a key from the official site and check the pay-as-you-go pricing.
- Before commercial use, make sure to read the license for that specific model version.
