FLUX.1 Turbo Alpha is an optimized image generation model derived from an eight-step distillation of the FLUX.1-dev model. It excels at text-to-image (T2I) generation and can be integrated with tools like ControlNet for advanced features such as inpainting, while significantly reducing generation time. Its performance is particularly well-suited for high-resolution images (1024x1024) and demanding prompts, thanks to training on a large, filtered dataset that ensures high aesthetic quality. The model stands out for its adversarial approach, using a multi-head discriminator to refine results, and strikes a good balance between speed and fidelity compared to the original version. It is ideal for applications requiring fast inference without compromising visual quality.
This repository provides a 8-step distilled lora for FLUX.1-dev model released by AlimamaCreative Team.
This checkpoint is a 8-step distilled Lora, trained based on FLUX.1-dev model. We use a multi-head discriminator to improve the distill quality. Our model can be used for T2I, inpainting controlnet and other FLUX related models. The recommended guidance_scale=3.5 and lora_scale=1. Our Lower steps version will release later.

The model is trained on 1M open source and internal sources images, with the aesthetic 6.3+ and resolution greater than 800. We use adversarial training to improve the quality. Our method fix the original FLUX.1-dev transformer as the discriminator backbone, and add multi heads to every transformer layer. We fix the guidance scale as 3.5 during training, and use the time shift as 3.
