flux.1-lite-8B

flux.1-lite-8B is an 8 billion parameter image synthesis model, a Diffusion Transformer derived from black-forest-labs/Flux.1-dev. The training data for this model originates from ~100k licensed stock images from Freepik.com. Separate self and cross attention layers, embedding extraction from intermediate T5 layers, and rotary positional embedding processes enabled an efficient model construction while maintaining quality performance. This model excels with illustrative and vector styles in particular.

[!WARNING] MLX is a framework for METAL graphics supported by Apple computers with ARM M-series processors (M1/M2/M3/M4)

[!NOTE] Generation using uv https://docs.astral.sh/uv/**:
