How to use it?

@Afroman4peace it does already, You can use flux models like any other models

@Afroman4peace interesting. When you say it's a merge between Schnell and Dev, do you mean that the Unet weights were essentially added together and then divided, like your typical 0.5 simple merge?

If so, I'm curious what the effects of such a merge would be, and what the step counts now look like during generation.

@Afroman4peace the piece of cloth is always put over the crotch area i don't know if they labeled that area with cloth while training but removing that would be great

@Afroman4peace From what I heard we can't train Flux yet. That might be wrong. Also, I heard that since it is a 12B parameter model, we would need to rent the really good GPUs from something like run pod once we could train it, because even something like a RTX4090 won't likely be able to train it in a timely manner. With that said, I also have tested the cloth crotch thing, and see the same things. If you want rear shots, no problem, but crotches always seem to be covered except in weird cases where it just does plain skin with 0 detail like as if the material is arm skin or something. For giggles I tried super increasing the references referring to that area to see if I could get it to show and when it would show something other than plain cloth or skin... it was horrifying... lol

I have a 4090, though, so if it turns out training is something that can be done on it, then I would be able to, but I would have to learn to do such first. lol If you wanted to provide assistance, I could potentially aid by running the stuff from my PC to ensure you would not be limited from moving forward. I look forward to see what you could do with Flux. Your other models before the newest version of SD were awesome. Not saying your models on the new version are bad, I just have not messed with AI art for a while cause life got busy, and have not messed with it for a while. I think they trained their model on images larger than 1024x1024 because I have tested and gotten great results for images that were 512x2160, 1024x2048, and 1920x1080.

@SuoixDs The model has to contain the data you want to see, as in, they had to have trained it on porn for it to make porn. It is not physically capable of imagining what genitals look like if the dataset they used didn't contain tagged photos of that concept.

It's not like there's porn hiding in there and someone coded in "when there's a vagina put cloth over it," it's that the model doesn't know what is supposed to be there so it fills in the blanks.

So simple tuners says:
Flux.1 [dev, schnell]

A100-40G (LoRA, rank-16 or lower)

A100-80G (LoRA, up to rank-256)

3x A100-80G (Full tuning, DeepSpeed ZeRO 1)

1x A100-80G (Full tuning, DeepSpeed ZeRO 3)

Flux prefers being trained with multiple GPUs.

@Afroman4peace Sorry for a likely stupid question. I have been out of AI art for about the last 6 months and last time was using A1111. First time using ComfyUI. What do you mean you have your SDXL model in a combined workflow with DemonFlux in the second stage? Are you talking about generating stuff with your Colossus model then using Img2Img on it in Flux?

@Up_punchington Flux do know how genitals look like, so it must be something else. I've tried having it do male genitals and during the denoise phase you can clearly see male genitals, but it scrubs them away later and exchange it to something else.

@Birnir I have seen a few come through for women by accident when not asking for it, but when trying to force it, it gets replaced with stuff or horrific stuff. Lots of pubic hair came through by accident when I was not actually wanting that. But if asking for it, it doesn't happen or horror often happens. I think maybe they labeled garbage in place of what you ask for and use some other tags for those parts instead. I might be totally wrong, though.

In my testing references to the groin seem to indicate the space directly under the belly button. On lots of images trying to get the woman put her hand over her groin or cover her groin, I ended up with a pregnant woman holding her hand on her belly under her belly button. This is why I say that.

I'm using this model and I'm able to do full NSFW. You just gotta make sure to process text encoding by another model before passing it to Flux.

@Birnir What workflow are you using?

@Birnir can you share a workflow how that is done please?

Forge and A1111 don't support flux (yet)

@tvange365 Thanks for the reply. I was asking because I've seen updates on Forge mentioning Flux but nothing to confirm it.

@Afroman4peace  thank you! I have updated Comfy as of 8/21/24 not sure what else I should update?

@Afroman4peace  Thanks, I'll give it a try 👍
