Black Forest Labs, the team behind Grok’s image generator, has launched a new API!
Black Forest Labs, the Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup behind the image generation component of xAI’s Grok assistant, has launched an API in beta — and released a new model. The new API provides Black Forest Labs’ family of image generation models, Flux, in a managed package. Using it, developers can choose which Flux model to build into their app or service. Add-ons include a content moderation layer and constraints on image resolution. Black Forest Labs also unveiled today its latest image generation model, Flux1.1 Pro, which it claims provides six times faster generation than its predecessor, Flux.1 Pro. The model can scale up to 2k (2048 × 1080) images — a feature that’ll soon come to the API — “while also improving image quality, prompt adherence, and diversity,” says Black Forest Labs in a blog post. In addition to Black Forest Labs’ own platform, Flux1.1 Pro is available through the startup’s partners, including Together AI, Replicate, Fal.AI, and Freepik. Prices start at 2.5
