You’ve probably heard about the new Flux 1 models released by Black Forest Labs. These AI models are impressive, and you can install them for free on your Windows PC if you have a recent NVIDIA RTX card, along with a decent amount of VRAM and system RAM. For example, I managed to get it running on an RTX 2060 with 6GB of VRAM and 64GB of system RAM. However, on an RTX 4090 with 24GB of VRAM, it works fast and produces excellent results.
Here are some examples of what I was able to generate with the Flux Dev FP8 version
So, you have the Flux models, but how can you run them? For that, you’ll need an interface. I’m going to show you how to use two different interfaces. The first is Forge UI, which is more user-friendly and offers a "what you see is what you get" experience. The second is ComfyUI, which is node-based and allows you to construct your own workflows.
Between the two, all the latest updates are first available on ComfyUI, while Forge UI takes a bit longer to implement them. However, you can install both in different folders, or even the same UI in different folders. For example, I have three different ComfyUI setups in separate folders and a few versions of Forge UI where I experiment with different versions.

Now it's time for a story 😅
In the vibrant city of Pixaroma, a talented little mouse named Remy found his true calling as both a chef and a photographer. But Remy wasn’t just any mouse—he had a secret weapon: FLUX AI, a cutting-edge technology that helped him capture the perfect shot of every dish he created.
When I hired Remy to work at Pixaroma, I knew his culinary creations would be amazing. From gourmet burgers to rich chocolate cakes, Remy’s dishes were a hit. But what set him apart was his love for photographing his work. With FLUX AI by his side, Remy’s photos brought each dish to life, turning our food into art that captured the hearts (and appetites) of our customers.
Thanks to Chef Remy and FLUX AI, Pixaroma's food became as visually stunning as it was delicious, making our brand a standout in the culinary world.
