What is Flex.2-preview?
Flex.2-preview is the open-source (Apache 2.0) 8B text-to-image diffusion model. Features built-in universal control (pose, line, depth) and inpainting. Fine-tunable.
Problem
Users previously relied on proprietary text-to-image models with limited control, customization, and transparency due to closed-source frameworks and lack of built-in editing tools.
Solution
An open-source text-to-image diffusion model enabling users to generate and edit images with built-in universal control (pose, line, depth) and inpainting, fine-tunable for specific use cases.
Customers
AI developers, researchers, and startups building customizable image-generation workflows requiring control and affordability.
Unique Features
Combines Apache 2.0 open-source licensing with inpainting, universal controls (pose/line/depth), and fine-tuning capabilities in a single 8B parameter model.
