Dedicated model · Available as managed deployment
Black Forest Labs' fast 12B text-to-image model — one to four steps per image — released under Apache-2.0 for commercial use. Validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on a dedicated DGX Spark for your traffic only — an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on hardware only you use, operated by AxForge in the EU.
Why AxForge
| Images in a few steps | Distilled for speed: one to four denoising steps per image instead of dozens, so a single machine serves interactive image generation. |
|---|---|
| Apache-2.0 | Permissive weights — commercial use, no licence conversation. |
| Same family as [dev] | The same 12B architecture and prompt behaviour as FLUX.1 [dev], tuned for throughput over maximum detail. |
