Recently, Black Forest Labs, a German AI startup, has introduced its latest image generation model, Flux1.1Pro. The speed of this new model is truly astonishing, with Black Forest Labs claiming that it is six times faster than its predecessor, Flux1Pro, while also significantly enhancing image quality.

In addition to Flux1.1Pro, Black Forest Labs has also released the beta version of its BFL API, allowing developers to integrate the Flux model into their own applications.

Flux1.1Pro has been enhanced in several key areas, not only achieving unprecedented speed levels but also improving image quality, command accuracy, and image diversity. In the future, this model will support the generation of 2K resolution images at high speed, which is highly anticipated.

In comparative tests with competitors such as Ideogram v2 and Midjourney v6.1, Flux1.1Pro has outperformed in most metrics, particularly in command compliance and image coherence.

Black Forest Labs also stated that Flux1Pro will be upgraded to double its speed while maintaining the same quality. However, Flux1.1Pro remains three times faster than the updated Flux1Pro, achieving an ideal balance between speed and image quality.

Launch of API

The company has also released the beta version of its BFL API, allowing developers to integrate the Flux model into their applications. Black Forest Labs promises customization options, scalability, and competitive pricing.

As for pricing, Flux1Dev costs $0.025 per image, Flux1Pro is $0.05, and Flux1.1Pro is $0.04 per image. Additionally, these models can be accessed through platforms such as Together.ai, Replicate, fal.ai, and Freepik.

Black Forest Labs was founded this August by developers from Stability.ai, with headquarters in Freiburg, Germany. Their goal is to develop advanced generative deep learning models for image and video applications. Notably, Flux technology has also been used in Elon Musk's Grok AI image generator, although it has sparked some controversy regarding its political uses.
