Flux is an artificial intelligence image generator released by AI startup Black Forest Labs in the past few weeks and it has quickly become one of the most powerful and popular tools of its kind, even giving market leader Midjourney a run for its money.
Unlike Midjourney, which is a closed and paid-for service only available from Midjourney itself, Flux is an open-source model available to download and run locally or on a range of platforms such as Freepik, NightCafe and Hugging Face.
