Stick a fork in MidJourney 6.1 because there's a new sheriff in town, and it's called Flux.1[pro]. Brought to you by the brainiacs at Black Forest Labs, Flux.1[pro] is here to whisk you away to picture-perfect realms faster than you can say "prompt adherence."

First impression? Flux.1[pro] isn't just any upgrade; it's like the turbocharged sports car in a parking lot full of sedans. To keep things fair, I used my standard prompts to see how Flux.1[pro] measures up against the competition. Spoiler: it's like bringing a lightsaber to a stick fight.

Black Forest Labs threw their hat into the generative AI ring today, and let's just say, they brought a bazooka to a water balloon fight. One minute, you're ogling Neuschwanstein castle in mind-boggling detail, and the next, Lionel Messi floats by like a stained glass deity.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty and see how Flux.1[pro] fared with my go-to prompts. Side note. MidJourney 6.1 isn't even a week old yet and its already time for it's funeral.

Black Forest Labs has just unleashed the FLUX.1 suite, and they're shaking things up with a model family that sets new benchmarks in generative AI tech. These aren’t just incremental upgrades; they’re quantum leaps into the future. But what really makes Flux.1 special is that it's open source, combining cutting-edge technology with accessibility.

Powered by transformer blocks and boasting a staggering 12 billion parameters, the FLUX.1 models are built on a hybrid architecture of multimodal and parallel diffusion. With rotary positional embeddings and parallel attention layers, they are lightning fast and ultra-precise. And guess what? You can get your hands on it! The FLUX.1 suite is available for everyone, with versions tailored for developers and personal use under an Apache 2.0 license. So, whether you're building the next AI masterpiece or just want to tinker with some incredible tech, Flux.1 has got an option for you.

Next on the agenda for Black Forest Labs? They're gearing up to drop text-to-video capabilities that will take generative media to new heights. For more scoop, swing by Black Forest Labs and explore the world of Flux.
