The hype is about image editing, not pure text-to-image. Upload an input image, say what you want changed, get the output. That's the idea. Much better preservation of characters and objects.
- kemyd 1y agoThanks for clarifying this. That makes a lot more sense.
- appenz 1y agoI tested it against Flux Pro Kontext (also image editing) and while it's a very different style and approach I overall like Flux better. More focus on image consistency, adjusts the lighting correctly, fixes contradictions in the image.
- qingcharles 1y agoI've been testing it against Flux Pro Kontext for several weeks. I would say it beats Flux in a majority of tests, but Flux still surprises from time-to-time. Banana definitely isn't the best 100% of the time -- it falls a bit short of that. Evolution, not revolution.
- vunderba 1y agoAgreed. I find myself alternating between Qwen Image Edit 20B, Kontext, and now Flash 2.5 depending on the situation and style. And of course, Flash isn't open-weights, so if you need more control / less censorship then you're SOL.
- frank_nitti 1y agoHas there been a sufficient indication to conclude these weights will not (now or ever) be released?
- vunderba 1y agoAre any of Google's generative models besides Alphafold open weight? (Veo, Imagen, etc.) I don't think we can really answer the question if Flash will ever be released.
- Melchizedek 1y agoIt’s good but holy shit is it censored! Try generating any kind of scene on a beach…
- SirMaster 1y agoCan it edit the photo at the original resolution? Most of my photos these days are 48MP and I don't want to lose a ton of resolution just to edit them.
- qingcharles 1y agoI don't know. All the testing I've done has output the standard 1024x1024 that all these models are set to output. You might be able to alter the output params on the API or AI Studio.
- vunderba 1y agoGreat question. I really doubt it would be able to support any resolution. I'm sure that behind the scenes it scales it down to somewhere around 1 mp before processing even if they decide to upscale and return it back at the original resolution.
- SirMaster 1y agoSo then this doesn't really replace traditional photoshop editing of my photos I guess.
- Workaccount2 1y agoNo, it resizes them.
