[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Thinking to drop a tutorial on Llama 3.2 next. Let me know If you'd like to watch it!

[@cesarflores6158]

I was just thinking all tutorials were so outdated, thank you!

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Thank you!

[@SebastianDuke-n1i]

This was such a good video. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to continue watching the rest of your content that's to come

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Thank you! Working on my next vid right now, will come out in a few days, you'll find it in your feed if you subscribed!

Flux is not available on my diffusionbee

[@ai.ai.captain]

thanks a lot for the tutorial. I ended up generating few images :) could you help with training few faces/characters on it and texts?

[@misrule74]

Congrats on getting your first video out! Thanks for taking the time to share this. Good luck with the channel.

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Thank you! Your comment made my day! I will publish another video next week!

[@toca2001]

Thanks for your video. Do you have an idea, how generation time is influenced by RAM? Would 24 GB still be acceptable? A Llama tutorial would be highly appreciated👍

[@seanfrancis7101]

No. It’s 40gb ram minimum as per Flux’s website

[@Joe-l3j6j]

I can't instal Flux. The information is "You need to update DiffusionBee to use this model" Any idear how I can make an update?

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Hi! You may have version 2.5.1 and not the latest 2.5.3 (the one working for Flux). You can check this out by going to the top-left menu (Diffusion Bee -> About Diffusion Bee). If this is the case, do this: 1) Download the .dmg directly from GitHub here: github.com/divamgupta/diffusionbee-stable-diffusion-ui/releases/tag/2.5.3. For Silicon (M1/M2/M3) download "DiffusionBee_MPS_arm64-2.5.3.dmg", while if you have Intel, download "DiffusionBee_MPS_Intel-2.5.3.dmg". 2) Close Diffusion Bee if it's still open on your Mac. 3) Click on the .dmg you just downloaded; it will ask you to drag and drop it into the Applications folder, then it will ask if you want to replace the app because it's already there: click yes. 4) Now you can open Diffusion Bee and find the option for Flux! Hope it helps!

Is Macbook Pro M1 with 16 GB ram good enough for this?

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

@@LEONARDO-xs2ke yeah, 16GB is stated as preferred requirement on their GitHub, but I tested it only on 64GB RAM

ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/nickanton/pinokio/api/flux-webui/{{input.event[0]}}' Im always getting this error. Any help?

[@MaorNadav]

when trying to generate it says "flux is not supported with this version"

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

try this: you may have version 2.5.1 and not the latest 2.5.3 (the one working for Flux). You can check this out by going to the top-left menu (Diffusion Bee -> About Diffusion Bee). If this is the case, do this: 1) Download the .dmg directly from GitHub here: github.com/divamgupta/diffusionbee-stable-diffusion-ui/releases/tag/2.5.3.

[@user-to1gq6po4s]

I can not install lora or additional package from outside, it gives an error, is there a solution?

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Last time I checked LoRA for Flux were not supported yet (hopefully will be soon). As for now you can use LoRAs for Stable Diffusion.

Cannot download Flux. Error : You need to update DiffusionBee to use this model. ... I have the latest one.... Help.

I recreated your issue and solved it myself in this way. Hope it helps!

[@AstroSirrus]

I'm having that same issue. I'm using the 2.5.1 version but it says "You need to update DiffusionBee to use this model."

[@AstroSirrus]

@@TheAgeofAlgo Thanks bro! This works!!!

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

@@AstroSirrus Great! Enjoy Flux!

[@renicoc1182]

@@TheAgeofAlgo But you use 2.5.1 in the video. How did it work for you on 2.5.1?

[@jessesegel2606]

Are you only able to download FLUX on a Mac with Apple Silicon, or does it also work with Intel?

[@gilou006]

It would have been useful to use the same prompt and number of steps in order to compare the two engines. A bit disappointed by this video.

[@TheAgeofAlgo]

Thanks for watching! You are right, I indeed did another video to compare the same prompt but didn't go with the same steps as for the official documentation of Flux, Schnell requires 1 to 4 steps while SD usually gives meaningful results with 20-30 steps. I like the idea of comparing different models based on same prompt/same steps, may do it in the future! Thank you!
