I'm Becoming A Full Time AI Creator


Hello Reader!

Welcome to Visually AI!


Diving in the Deep End

My job is ending.

I have been building my brand online for 18 months.

It's time to go all in.

With my consultancy.

With my podcast.

With my tutorials.

38k+ following on 𝕏.

15k+ newsletter subs.

$60k+ revenue.

Closing in on 1000 YouTube subs.

This hasn't been easy.

Working full time, 4 kids, a full time job.

But with the help of my business partner Thomas Haynes, I'm ready to take to the leap.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far.

I look forward to bring you even more AI education, tutorials, tips, and even some films for entertainment!


What the Flux?

Introducing FLUX: Open-Source text to image model

FLUX... has been EVERYWHERE this week, as I'm sure you have seen. Developed by Black Forest Labs, is an open-source image generation model that's gaining attention for its ability to rival leading models like Midjourney, DALL·E 3, and SDXL.

What sets FLUX apart is its blend of creative freedom, precision, and accessibility—it's available across multiple platforms and can be run locally.

Why FLUX Matters

FLUX's open-source nature makes it accessible to a broad audience, from hobbyists to professionals.

It offers advanced multimodal and parallel diffusion transformer technology, delivering high visual quality, strong prompt adherence, and diverse outputs.

It’s available in 3 models:

  • FLUX.1 [pro]: A high-performance, commercial image synthesis model.
  • FLUX.1 [dev]: An open-weight, non-commercial variant of FLUX.1 [pro]
  • FLUX.1 [schnell]: A faster, distilled version of FLUX.1, operating up to 10x quicker.

Key Features of FLUX

Visual Quality: Comparable to or surpasses leading models like Midjourney v6.0 and DALL·E 3 (HD).

Prompt Adherence: Strong capability to follow detailed prompts accurately.

Speed: The [schnell] variant operates up to 10x faster than other models, without compromising quality.

Versatility: Available in multiple variants—[pro], [dev], and [schnell]—catering to different needs and use cases.

Where to Use FLUX

FLUX models are available on various platforms you can use in your browser, including:

It's open source to install on your computer and there are multiple ComfyUI integration.
