Our New Image Model Flux 1.1 Pro

In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, a German startup has caused quite a stir: Black Forest Labs from Freiburg im Breisgau. Founded in 2024 by Robin Rombach, Andreas Blattmann, and Patrick Esser – all former employees of Stability AI and co-developers of the groundbreaking Stable Diffusion – the company has quickly made a name for itself in the AI image generation industry.

The three founders previously conducted research at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich under the supervision of Björn Ommer in the field of AI image generation. Their expertise contributed to the development of Stable Diffusion before they decided to go their own way with Black Forest Labs. With an impressive funding round of $31 million backing them, the company launched in 2024 and has since been working on advancing its Flux models.

Flux 1.1 Pro is the premium model from the Flux family and is characterized by the following key features:

• • Outstanding image quality: Remarkable details, realistic textures, and natural lighting effects
  • Precise prompt adherence: Understanding of complex instructions with high accuracy
  • Lightning-fast generation: About 6 times faster than previous models (under 10 seconds per image)
  • Versatile output formats: Support for various image sizes and formats
  • High output diversity: Different creative interpretations from the same prompt

In the AI image generator market, Flux 1.1 Pro positions itself as a premium alternative to established models, combining more realistic images with a competitive pricing model.

Flux 1.1 Pro vs. DALL-E: A detailed comparison

Image Quality and Realism

Flux 1.1 Pro impresses with exceptional realism and detail richness, especially in portraits and human figures. While DALL-E 3 delivers impressive artistic interpretations, Flux 1.1 Pro shows superior capabilities in realistic textures, lighting effects, and anatomical correctness.

Prompt Fidelity and Speed

Both models show high prompt fidelity with different strengths: DALL-E 3 often interprets complex conceptual instructions more creatively, while Flux 1.1 Pro convinces with more precise implementation of specific visual details. With generation times of under 10 seconds, Flux is significantly faster than DALL-E 3.

Example Images in Comparison

Portrait Photo: With identical prompts, Flux 1.1 Pro produces more natural skin tones, more realistic hair structures, more authentic facial expressions, and more detailed fabric textures.
Futuristic City: Flux 1.1 Pro convinces with superior light refractions, more coherent architectural details, stronger depth effects, and more realistic color transitions.

Image Size and Use Cases for Flux 1.1 Pro

Flux 1.1 Pro allows you to freely choose the dimensions of the image (max. 1440 x 1440 pixels). This enables the Evoya Agent to independently choose the right image size for a given use case. Example prompt: "Create a header image for our LinkedIn page."

Possible Use Cases

Flux 1.1 Pro is particularly suitable for:

• • Professional applications: Product and architectural visualization, fashion design, concept art for film and games
  • Creative projects: Book covers, social media content, art projects, personalized merchandise
  • Enterprise solutions: Custom image generation, integration into design workflows, automated content creation, prototyping

Flux 1.1 Pro from Black Forest Labs represents a significant advancement in AI image generation and offers a compelling alternative to established models like DALL-E 3. The model's strengths lie particularly in:

• • Outstanding realism in portraits and human figures
  • Impressive speed for rapid iterations
  • Precise implementation of specific visual details
  • Flexible configurability for various use cases

While DALL-E 3 continues to excel in conceptual and artistic interpretations, Flux 1.1 Pro convinces with its photorealistic quality and technical precision. The choice between both models ultimately depends on the specific requirements of the respective project.

The future of Black Forest Labs and the Flux model family looks promising. With their expertise in diffusion technology and focus on quality and speed, further innovations are likely to follow that will continue to push the boundaries of AI image generation.

Tip: To compare both image models, simply give the Evoya Agent of your choice two image generation tools – one with DALL-E, one with Flux 1.1 Pro.

Here's how:

1. Tools > create two tools
2. Select DALL-E for one, Flux 1.1 Pro as model for the other
3. Make both tools available to the agent of your choice

Done. Have fun experimenting!
