Fal has collaborated with Black Forest Labs to introduce the FLUX1.1 [pro] model, also known as "blueberry," and enhance the speed of the FLUX.1 [dev] models. The FLUX1.1 [pro] model, which was recently showcased in the Artificial Analysis image arena, has achieved the highest Elo score among image models while maintaining impressive speed. Additionally, the FLUX.1 [dev] model has set new speed records for LoRA training, completing 1000 steps in under two minutes, making it the fastest by a significant margin. A new Reference API endpoint for the FLUX.1 [dev] model has been launched, doubling the speed of the existing endpoint without sacrificing image quality, and it is currently available in an experimental version with plans for broader release.
