Flux model works great on Macs
After Black Forest released the Flux model, I think everyone started trying it and comparing with DALL-E3, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion 3. I am cancelling my Midjourney subscription. (Not that I used it a lot, local SD-3 was mostly good enough for me)
On Mac, Flux just works with the following conda env setup:
Python 3.11.3,
pip install torch==2.3.1 torchaudio==2.3.1 torchvision==0.18.1 einops==0.6.1 numba==0.57.0 numpy==1.24.3 transformers==4.33.1 tqdm==4.65.0 tts==0.21.1
Please use the text encoder and Flux-1-dev.
