Fine-tune FLUX.1 with your own images

The blog post discusses the fine-tuning of FLUX.1, a family of text-to-image models released by Black Forest Labs, using Replicate's fast FLUX trainer. Fine-tuning these models is quick and cost-effective, taking under two minutes and costing less than $2. Users can customize the models to generate specific styles or objects by uploading a small set of example images and using Ostris’s AI Toolkit, which employs the LoRA technique for efficient training. The process can be done via a web interface or an API, allowing users to build models without needing extensive hardware or dealing with complex environments. Once trained, these models can be used on Replicate to generate images by including a specified trigger word in prompts. The output can be used commercially if generated on Replicate, though downloaded weights used elsewhere are restricted to non-commercial use. Pricing is based on the time taken for training, with typical costs around $1.85 for a 20-minute session. Users can share their models publicly and leverage smaller models for faster generation, with licensing details specifying commercial use conditions.
