They're distilling Nano Banana with a Google dataset, letting anyone more easily build and test their own systems. It's kind of funny how easy this is to do.
reply"You wouldn't steal a car," but anyone can distill an expensive, fully trained model in order to build their own.
This is going to be one of the most important categories of image model. It's good that we have more than Google and the Chinese (ByteDance, et al) with competent editing models. I don't think Flux Kontext is keeping up.
It'd be really nice if we had a Nano Banana-calibur model as open source.
Qwen Image Edit? Though it is a little soft and plasticy
replyUnless you fine tune it… the guys of Qwen are amazing.
replyFlux Kontext is not keeping up. Even then Flux has become only partially open source. They keep the more advanced models API only.
replyFlux backbone is too rigid. Very difficult to fine tune. Qwen is where it’s at these days.
replyI've gotten mind blowing results with flux.1 Dev. Is the API even better?
