Together AI has announced the integration of the FLUX API into its platform, offering developers a new opportunity to access advanced image generation models. According to together.ai, the collaboration with Black Forest Labs (BFL) brings both the open-source FLUX.1 [schnell] and the premium FLUX1.1 [pro] models to the forefront of state-of-the-art image creation technology.
FLUX Model Features
The FLUX.1 [schnell] model is optimized by Together AI for rapid performance, offering developers 3 months of free and unlimited API access. This initiative aims to allow users to experiment with sophisticated image generation capabilities, enhancing their applications with high-quality visuals. Developers can access the FLUX.1-schnell-Free endpoint by signing up for a free Together AI account.
On the other hand, the FLUX1.1 [pro] model stands out as a high-performance option, designed for ultra-fast, high-quality image generation. It promises to deliver images three times faster than its predecessor, FLUX.1 [pro], making it a valuable tool for projects that demand quick and reliable output.
Enhanced Performance with Together Turbo
Together AI's Turbo endpoint further enhances the performance of the FLUX.1 [schnell] model, achieving speeds up to twice as fast as other implementations. This is made possible through advancements from the Together Kernel Collection and the Together Inference Engine, which ensure rapid image processing without compromising quality. Complex images can be generated in as little as 315 milliseconds, offering a significant advantage for developers focused on efficiency.
Why Developers Prefer FLUX
The FLUX models have been noted for their precision in image generation, excelling in areas such as prompt precision, output diversity, and complex compositions. They can create detailed multi-object scenes suitable for visual storytelling and creative design projects. The models also handle text generation within images effectively, which includes challenging words and repeated letters.
Moreover, FLUX models have shown improvements in generating realistic hands, often producing the correct number of fingers in appropriate positions, a common challenge in AI-generated images.
Getting Started with FLUX
Developers can begin experimenting with FLUX models using the Together AI playground or by connecting via API. The Python SDK provided by Together AI facilitates the integration of FLUX models into applications, making it easier for developers to leverage these advanced image generation capabilities.
For those interested in hosting FLUX on dedicated endpoints or in enterprise deployments, Together AI offers consultation services to discuss the best approaches for implementation.
