This repo contains minimal inference code to run text-to-image and image-to-image with our Flux latent rectified flow transformers.
We are happy to partner with Replicate, FAL, Mystic, and Together. You can sample our models using their services. Below we list relevant links.

We are offering three models:
FLUX1.1 [pro]

available via API onlyFLUX.1 [dev]

The weights of the autoencoder are also released under apache-2.0 and can be found in either of the two HuggingFace repos above. They are the same for both models.
The weights will be downloaded automatically from HuggingFace once you start one of the demos. To download FLUX.1 [dev]
, you will need to be logged in, see here.
If you have downloaded the model weights manually, you can specify the downloaded paths via environment-variables:
export FLUX_SCHNELL=<path_to_flux_schnell_sft_file>
export FLUX_DEV=<path_to_flux_dev_sft_file>
export AE=<path_to_ae_sft_file>
For interactive sampling run
python -m flux --name <name> --loop
Or to generate a single sample run
python -m flux --name <name>
--height <height> --width <width>
--prompt ""
We also provide a streamlit demo that does both text-to-image and image-to-image. The demo can be run via
streamlit run demo_st.py
We also offer a Gradio-based demo for an interactive experience. To run the Gradio demo:
python demo_gr.py --name flux-schnell --device cuda
Options:
--name
: Choose the model to use (options: "flux-schnell", "flux-dev")--device
: Specify the device to use (default: "cuda" if available, otherwise "cpu")--offload
: Offload model to CPU when not in use--share
: Create a public link to your demoTo run the demo with the dev model and create a public link:
python demo_gr.py --name flux-dev --share
FLUX.1 [schnell]
and FLUX.1 [dev]
are integrated with the ? diffusers library. To use it with diffusers, install it:
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers.git
Then you can use FluxPipeline
to run the model
import torch
from diffusers import FluxPipeline
model_id = "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell" #you can also use `black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev`
pipe = FluxPipeline.from_pretrained("black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() #save some VRAM by offloading the model to CPU. Remove this if you have enough GPU power
prompt = "A cat holding a sign that says hello world"
seed = 42
image = pipe(
prompt,
output_type="pil",
num_inference_steps=4, #use a larger number if you are using [dev]
generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(seed)
).images[0]
image.save("flux-schnell.png")

Our API offers access to our models. It is documented here: docs.bfl.ml.
In this repository we also offer an easy python interface. To use this, you first need to register with the API on api.bfl.ml, and create a new API key.
To use the API key either run export BFL_API_KEY=
or provide
it via the api_key=
parameter. It is also expected that you
have installed the package as above.
Usage from python:
from flux.api import ImageRequest
# this will create an api request directly but not block until the generation is finished
request = ImageRequest("A beautiful beach", name="flux.1.1-pro")
# or: request = ImageRequest("A beautiful beach", name="flux.1.1-pro", api_key="your_key_here")
# any of the following will block until the generation is finished
request.url
# -> https:<...>/sample.jpg
request.bytes
# -> b"..." bytes for the generated image
request.save("outputs/api.jpg")
# saves the sample to local storage
request.image
# -> a PIL image
Usage from the command line:
$ python -m flux.api --prompt="A beautiful beach" url
https:<...>/sample.jpg
# generate and save the result
$ python -m flux.api --prompt="A beautiful beach" save outputs/api
# open the image directly
$ python -m flux.api --prompt="A beautiful beach" image show
