You can now fine tune your own version AI image maker Flux using just 5 images

Black Forest Labs is the premier, high-quality AI image generation startup. They have even surpassed the competition. Black Forest Labs founders used to work at Stability AI where they developed models. It was briefly used as the default image generation in xAI Grok’s language model.

Today Black Forest Labs is taking this a step further, Announcing the release The FLUX Finetuning AIis a tool which allows creators to customize generative AI using their own images and ideas.

The API is designed for professionals in marketing and branding, storytelling, and other creative industries. It allows them to personalize the company’s flagship FLUX pro and FLUX ultra models using an easy-to-use interface.

Customization at scale

With the FLUX Pro Finetuning, users can fine-tune text-to-image generative models using five to twenty training images. Text descriptions are optional.

The result is customized models that retain the generative flexibility of the base FLUX Pro model while aligning the outputs with specific artistic visions. The tool is adaptable to a variety of uses, as it supports multiple modes including “character,” “product,” “style,” and “general.”

Trained models can integrate seamlessly with endpoints like FLUX.1 fill, depth, Canny, and Redux as well as high-resolution generation capability of up to 4 megapixels. The API is a powerful tool for AI-generated content, whether it’s to create brand-consistent visuals for marketing or character art.

Practical applications and use-cases for brands, marketers, and more

With the FLUX Finetuning API professionals can create customized model that preserves essential design elements, character consistency, or brand properties. Black Forest Labs conducted a study that showed 68.9% users preferred FLUX Pro’s fine-tuned result over competing services. Black Forest Labs partnered with BurdaVerlag, a leading German entertainment and media company, to demonstrate FLUX Pro Finetuning’s potential. BurdaVerlag’s creative teams use the tool to create customized FLUX models tailored for their brands, including the children’s publication LissyPONY.
