Flux

Flux is an open-source image generation model developed by Black Forest Labs, the team behind Stable Diffusion. It has quickly become one of the most popular open models due to its strong prompt following, natural-looking outputs, and ability to render text within images accurately. Available in multiple variants (Flux.1 Pro, Dev, and Schnell), the model can be run locally or accessed through various API providers and web interfaces. The open-source nature means developers can fine-tune it for specific use cases and integrate it into their own applications without licensing fees. Flux has become a go-to choice for developers and creators who want high-quality image generation without vendor lock-in. Its text rendering capabilities are particularly notable, solving a long-standing weakness of AI image generators.
