FLUX 3 Image Klein

People on reddit claim it's bad at generating images of people, apparently because they removed anything close to nsfw from the training set. Anyone already tried it?

I just don't see society advancing until you all get used to naked people, I mean from cavemen to the greeks to Boticelli, was cool with it and that was along time ago.

How many man hours go into not allowing things that might break some law of offense? How many hours wasted trying to change the meaning of words and related punishments.

I mean it doesn't make sense to me in any form of efficient civilisation.

It's editing capabilities have been really solid, but I've been disappointed with its ability to do finer text details (a niche use case for my own purposes). There's also a lot of reports of body horror outputs, but I haven't encountered any myself.

Still though, it's a lot like the porsche mission S vs the tesla roadster situation with the weights release. Moss Image dropped which looks far better at the moment, leading to a "why Flux?" question in the community.

I still think the edit capabilites are absolutely excellent, but for t2i I'd try out moss: https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-Image-Base/tree/ma...

I've been VERY impressed with Moss' design capabilites out of the box. Some samples:

IMO the taste is lacking, but it has some of the best text reproductions I've seen with their new VAE. Here's a type ramp example:

I find this stuff really insane to think about, that it has "knowledge" about how most of the world looks like in less than 10GB.

It's really fast on the OpenRouter API, but it's clearly worse than Flux 3's normal model.

> Pricing starts at $0.009 per 1K image.

This seems like a very competitive price for image models if it can compete on quality, no?

For example, Krea 3 released yesterday starting at $0.06/image.

It kind of blows me away how “unreasonably effective” these small image models seem for their size.

Meanwhile a decent LLM that can do tool use and code and reason tends to weigh in at a minimum of 30B parameters, and you need over 100B to get good performance.

Do LLMs just contain more information or are diffusion models more efficient at compression?

I saw some work on language diffusion models a while back but I think they tend to have problems with reasoning versus transformer type models.

Very disappointing compared to Flux 2 Klein. I was excited to see what the next frontier of small local image gen might be like, but this model is absolutely atrocious. I can't believe they bothered releasing it.
