Exploring FLUX on fal.ai

Fal.ai offers seamless access to a powerful suite of FLUX image-generation models—providing developers with fast, cost-effective, and reliable tools. Whether you’re experimenting with simple prompts or building production-level pipelines, FLUX has an endpoint built for your needs. 

FLUX.1 [schnell]

  • Optimized for ultra-fast generation—perfect for real-time prototyping or iterative design workflows.
  • Super affordable at $0.003 per megapixel.
  • Supports batch processing, variable image sizes, and a “Turbo Mode” for lightning-speed outputs. 

FLUX.1 [dev]

  • A 12B‑parameter flow-transformer model, delivering high-quality text-to-image generation.
  • Supports both personal and commercial usage.
  • Features streaming capabilities, ideal for applications that require progressive feedback or real-time workflows. 
  • Also offers an Image-to-Image endpoint for transforming existing images with style variations and edits. 

FLUX.1 [pro] & FLUX1.1 [pro]

  • FLUX.1 [pro] new is an accelerated version of the trusted Pro model, enhancing generation speed while preserving professional-grade output. 
  • FLUX1.1 [pro] markedly improves composition, detail, and artistic fidelity over its predecessor—running up to 6× faster and achieving the highest Elo ranking on the Artificial Analysis image arena. 

FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]

  • multimodal powerhouse—able to process both text and reference images for advanced editing and scene transformation.
  • Preserves character consistency and visual integrity, enabling complex, context-aware modifications in a unified pipeline. 

Why fal.ai Makes FLUX Even More Compelling

Fal.ai elevates these models with:

  • World-class inference speeds, scaling easily from prototype to high-volume production.
  • A unified API with generous SDK support across Python, JavaScript, Swift, and more.
  • Transparent, usage-based pricing—no hidden fees or complexity.
