No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Flux.1 [pro] was published by Black Forest Labs, in Germany, in August 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Image generation, and is recorded as doing image generation, Text-to-image.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

Flux.1 [pro] — common questions

01

What is Flux.1 [pro] used for?

Flux.1 [pro] works in Image generation, and is recorded as handling image generation, Text-to-image. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

02

What GPU do I need to run Flux.1 [pro]?

None. Flux.1 [pro] is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

03

Is Flux.1 [pro] open source?

No. Flux.1 [pro] has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does Flux.1 [pro] have?

Flux.1 [pro] has 12B parameters. "All public FLUX.1 models are based on a hybrid architecture of multimodal and parallel diffusion transformer blocks and scaled to 12B parameters.". That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

05

Who created Flux.1 [pro]?

Flux.1 [pro] was published by Black Forest Labs, based in Germany, categorised as industry.

06

When was Flux.1 [pro] released?

Flux.1 [pro] was published in August 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
