New Image Generation Models Launched by Together AI with FLUX Tools

Together AI has announced the integration of three advanced image generation models from Black Forest Labs' FLUX Tools suite, aimed at providing developers with enhanced control over image composition, depth, and style. This development marks a significant step forward in AI-powered image generation, offering innovative capabilities for developers and artists alike.

Introduction to New Models

The newly launched models—Canny, Depth, and Redux—are designed to facilitate a range of creative possibilities by enabling users to iterate on existing images. The Canny model focuses on precise composition control through edge detection, while the Depth model maintains spatial relationships using depth mapping. Redux, on the other hand, generates subtle variations of an image without needing a text prompt, making it ideal for refining existing visuals.

Advanced Image Control with ControlNet

At the core of these models is ControlNet, a neural network structure developed at Stanford. This technology allows for precise image generation control by using additional input images as guides, thus providing a structural blueprint for the model to follow. This results in more predictable outputs, reducing the number of iterations needed to achieve the desired image.

Practical Applications and Tools

These models are available through Together AI’s APIs, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate them into their projects. The availability of open-source example apps such as Blinkshot and LogoCreator further showcases the practical applications of these models. Additionally, developers can take advantage of a free endpoint for the FLUX schnell model until the year's end, providing an opportunity to explore these tools without financial commitment.

For developers interested in experimenting with these models, Together AI offers a Python SDK for easy integration. This SDK allows for quick and efficient incorporation of FLUX models into various applications, enhancing the creative process with cutting-edge technology.
