Flux has been reloaded.
Black Forest Labs has just released its most advanced image generator to date: Flux 1.1 Pro.
For those who are just joining the AI party: Flux and Midjourney are the top dogs when it comes to generating a realistic image.
This new image model offers a significant performance boost, delivering six times faster generation speeds than its predecessor while also improving image quality, prompt adherence, and overall diversity.
Since Flux is open source and has been adapted by multiple platforms and users as their main model, this update is a huge deal.

What’s new In Flux 1.1 Pro?
The newly released Flux 1.1 Pro brings several key improvements over its predecessor. Here’s what’s new:
Improved Speed and Efficiency: Faster generation times and reduced latency, enabling more efficient workflows. Flux 1.1 Pro provides an ideal tradeoff between image quality and inference speed. Flux 1.1 Pro is three times faster than the currently available Flux Pro 1.0.
Improved Performance: Flux 1.1 Pro has been introduced and tested under the codename “blueberry” into the Artificial Analysis image arena, a popular benchmark for text-to-image models. It surpasses all other models on the leaderboard, achieving the highest overall Elo score.
