About this model

FLUX.1 [schnell] (German for fast) is a timestep-distilled version of FLUX tuned for very low step counts, typically 4 steps, with near-instant output. It is released under Apache 2.0, making it the only FLUX checkpoint usable commercially without a separate license. Quality is below [dev] and the Pro endpoints but more than adequate for drafts, thumbnails, and batch work.
