FLUX: This new AI image generator is eerily good at creating human hands

AI-startup Black Forest Labs has launched its first suite of text-to-image AI models, FLUX.1. The German-based company aims to create advanced generative AI for images and videos. FLUX.1 incorporates a "hybrid architecture" combining transformer and diffusion techniques, scaled up to 12 billion parameters. The models claim to outperform existing options like Midjourney and DALL-E in areas such as image quality and adherence to text prompts. Black Forest Labs plans to expand into video generation, with FLUX.1 serving as the foundation for a new text-to-video model in development. The company recently closed a $31 million Series Seed funding round.

How much detail is too much? Midjourney v6 attempts to find out

Midjourney recently released version 6 of its image synthesis model, garnering mixed reviews from its fans. While users appreciate the increased detail and scenery in the generated images, they also note issues with high contrast and saturation. The latest model also incorporates rudimentary text generation capabilities. However, criticism remains regarding the use of unauthorized human-made artwork in training the AI models. Some users have found that the new model produces worse results than the previous version, but this can be attributed to differences in prompt interpretation. Midjourney is working to improve this aspect over time.
