Black Forest Labs has released a new, faster text-to-image model called Flux 1.1 Pro, reports Carl Franzen for VentureBeat. According to an independent benchmark, the model outperforms other AI image generators in terms of visual quality and speed. It generates images six times faster than its predecessor, with improved image quality and accuracy.
Flux 1.1 Pro is not directly accessible through Black Forest Labs, but through partners such as together.ai, Replicate, fal.ai, and Freepik. Simultaneously, the company offers a paid API that allows developers to create applications based on the model. API prices start at 4 cents per image. Soon, the model will also support ultra-high-resolution images up to 2K.
