The editor of Downcodes learned that German artificial intelligence startup Black Forest Labs recently released its image generation model Flux1.1Pro and BFL API test version. Flux1.1Pro is six times faster than the previous generation, and the image quality has also been significantly improved. It has demonstrated excellent performance in comparison tests with Ideogram v2 and Midjourney v6.1. The launch of the BFL API facilitates developers to integrate the Flux model into their own applications, further expanding its application scope. This article will explain in detail the features, API functions and pricing strategy of Flux1.1Pro, and discuss its competitive position in the market.
Recently, the German artificial intelligence startup Black Forest Labs launched its latest image generation model Flux1.1Pro. The speed of this new model is truly breathtaking, with Black Forest Labs claiming it is a full six times faster than the previous generation Flux1 Pro, while also offering a significant improvement in image quality.
In addition to Flux1.1Pro, Black Forest Labs has also released a beta version of its BFL API, allowing developers to integrate Flux models into their own applications.
Flux1.1Pro has been enhanced in several key functions, not only reaching an unprecedented level in speed, but also improving the quality of images, the accuracy of responding to commands, and the diversity of images. In the future, this model will also support generating 2K resolution images at high speed, which is exciting.
In comparative tests with other competitors, such as Ideogram v2 and Midjourney v6.1, Flux1.1Pro performed well in most indicators, especially in terms of compliance with instructions and coherence of images.
Black Forest Labs also says that the Flux1Pro will also receive an upgrade that will make it twice as fast while maintaining the same quality. However, Flux1.1Pro is still three times faster than the updated Flux1Pro , making it an ideal balance between speed and image quality.
The company also released a beta version of its BFL API, allowing developers to integrate Flux models into their applications. Black Forest Labs promises customization options, scalability, and competitive pricing.

As for pricing, Flux1Dev costs $0.025 per image, while Flux1Pro costs $0.05 and Flux1.1Pro costs $0.04 per image. In addition, these models can be accessed through platforms such as Together.ai, Replicate, fal.ai and Freepik.
Black Forest Lab was founded in August this year by former developers of Stability AI (Stability.ai) and is headquartered in Freiburg, Germany. The goal is to develop advanced generative deep learning models for application in the image and video fields. It’s worth mentioning that Flux technology is also used in Elon Musk’s Grok AI image generator, although it has sparked controversy in some quarters about its political use.
Highlight:
Flux1.1Pro is the latest image generation model, which is six times faster than the previous generation and has higher image quality.
Black Forest Lab has released the BFL API, allowing developers to integrate Flux models into their own applications.
? Flux models are reasonably priced, with Flux1.1Pro costing just $0.04 per image.
All in all, Flux1.1Pro's high-speed and high-quality image generation capabilities, coupled with the openness of the BFL API, provide developers and users with powerful image generation tools. The continuous innovation of Black Forest Laboratory is worth looking forward to, and its future development in the field of AI image generation is worthy of attention.
