Flux.1

#9

The Midjourney killer. Open source, scary realism, and miraculously, it spells words correctly inside images. Finally, an AI that knows how to spell and doesn't force you to use Discord like a gamer kid.

Is it easy to use?

Depends. Web is as easy as Google. Local is for those who love suffering in the terminal. An 8.0 out of 10.

How long to learn?

If you use a Web UI, 5 minutes. If you install it yourself, get coffee and prepare to curse. Let’s say ‘Medium’, but worth it.

How efficient is it?

Embarrassingly good quality on the first shot. Less time hitting ‘Reroll’, more time billing clients. A 9.0 out of 10.

Is it worth it?

It’s free (or cents via API). The best value for money in human history. (Value: 10/10).

Can I use it Commercially?

Yes. It’s open weights. Total freedom, pure anarchy.

In a Nutshell (Verdict)

The new king of visual quality. Raw, powerful, free. Score: 8.9/10.

Who is it for?

Control freaks and people who hate monthly fees.

  • Art Directors: to get hands with 5 fingers on the first try, without crying.

  • Techies: to install it locally and hear their GPU take off like a shuttle.

  • Anyone: who wants images that look like real photos, not shiny, plastic ‘AI art’.

Want photorealism without Discord’s tantrums? Here is the new king, raw and powerful.
