Forget Midjourney — Flux is the new king of AI image generation

Multiple ways to try Flux

This AI image generation model is being dubbed the rightful heir to Stable Diffusion and it quickly went viral after its release with direct comparisons to market leader Midjourney. 

The difference between Flux and Midjourney is that Flux is open-source and can run on a reasonably good laptop.

Types of Models/Pricing

1. The first is a Pro version with a commercial license and is mainly used by companies like FreePik to offer its subscribers access to generative AI image technology.

2. The next two are Dev and Schnell. These are the mid-weight and fast models and in my tests — running on a laptop with an RTX 4090

Methods for adapting large language models for your usecases

In this post, we’ll take a look at the various approaches available to adapt LLMs to domain data.

Approaches to LLM adaptation

1. Pre-training

   - Pre-training is the process of training an LLM from scratch using trillions of data tokens.

2. Continued pre-training

   -Continued pre-training (a.k.a. second-stage pre-training) involves further training a foundation model with new, unseen domain data

3. Fine-tuning

   - Fine-tuning is the process of adapting a pre-trained language model using an annotated dataset in a supervised manner or using reinforcement learning-based techniques

4. Retrieval augmented generation (RAG)

   -RAG is quintessentially “search-powered LLM text generation.”

5. In-context learning (ICL)

   - we adapt the LLM by placing prototype examples in the prompt
