Flux 1.1, known as FLUX1.1 [pro], operates on a usage-based pricing model, with image generation requests costing $0.04 per megapixel.
Understanding Flux 1.1 Pricing
Flux 1.1 is an advanced text-to-image artificial intelligence model designed for generating high-quality images from textual descriptions. Unlike models with fixed subscription fees or one-time purchase costs, Flux 1.1 utilizes a pay-per-use structure, which directly ties the cost to the resources consumed for each image generation task. This allows for a flexible and scalable approach to AI image generation.
Cost Breakdown
The primary pricing metric for Flux 1.1 is per megapixel of the generated image. This means the total cost for a single request will depend on the resolution of the output image.
- Cost per Megapixel: $0.04
- Pricing Model: Usage-based (pay-per-megapixel)
For instance, if you were to generate an image that is 1 megapixel in size (e.g., 1000x1000 pixels), it would cost $0.04. For larger images, such as a 4-megapixel image (e.g., 2000x2000 pixels), the cost would proportionally increase to $0.16.
Practical Cost Examples
To provide a clearer picture of potential costs and efficiency, consider the following:
- Cost Efficiency: For a budget of just $1, users can typically run the Flux 1.1 model approximately 25 times. This approximate number of runs would depend on the average megapixel size of the images generated in each instance. This highlights the model's accessibility for frequent use, assuming a standard output resolution per run.
- Scaling Costs: The per-megapixel model ensures that you only pay for the computational power required for the specific resolution you need. This can be cost-effective for tasks requiring various image sizes.
Cost Summary Table
| Metric | Cost/Value | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per Request | $0.04 per megapixel | Cost scales with the resolution of the output image |
| Value for $1 | Approximately 25 runs | Number of runs depends on the average image size |
| Model Type | Text-to-Image AI Model | Generates images from text prompts and descriptions |
| Pricing Model | Usage-Based (Pay-per-Use) | No fixed subscription; pay only for what you generate |
This transparent, usage-based pricing allows users to manage their expenses effectively, paying only for the computational resources they utilize for their specific image generation needs.
