Grok 2 uses the image model, "Flux." Flux is made by black forest labs. You two can download the model and run it locally on a moderately expensive gaming PC or use it for free at https://huggingface.co/spaces/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev among other places.
I find it funny that the most newsworthy component of this product is made and distributed for free by a completely unrelated company. This is manufactured outrage by musk as a ploy to seem relivant in the ai space. All he did was put a free thing behind a Paywall.
It's only free if you have an expensive GPU with a lot of VRAM. But otherwise I agree - Musk has no idea what he's doing - I doubt this will bring substantial money
Uh no, I run Flux on my 8gb card no problem. Takes about 4 mins per render.
ComfyUI I assume?
Depends very much on steps, upscaling etc ofc
My buddy, literally today.
Fuck your buddy for giving that shitstain money, then.
I only checked replicate api but you can generate 333 images for $1. Ofc takes some know-how but it's cheap if you can get it set up
There are a series of quants available at much smaller sizes such that you don't need the full size model. The full fp16 model is 23 GB but the fp8 quant is half that, and there are GGUF quants down to 6.8 GB.
Me and who?
I don't think he will get that joke.
At the top level poster: you wrote "two" instead of "too".
Just to be clear it’s not free. I was able to do 2 prompts until it kicked me off for an hour
Well it's free it's just rate limited. Which makes sense given the amount of processing capacity that is required.
