# FLUX.1 Schnell

ID: black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell
Type: image generation
Vendor: Black Forest Labs
Released: 2024-08-01
Commercial use: allowed
Description: FLUX.1 [schnell] is a 12B rectified flow text-to-image model from Black Forest Labs, distilled for high-quality generation in 1–4 steps.

## Modes and inputs
- Text → Image (`txt->img`)
  - Prompt only, no input images

## Output
- Aspect ratios: 1:1, 9:7, 7:9, 19:13, 13:19, 7:4, 4:7. Other ratios snap to the closest one. Without `size` (or with `"auto"`), Mynth picks a ratio for the prompt.
- 4K: no
- Negative prompt: not supported (dropped, no error)

## Pricing (USD)
- Per image: $0.0020
- Only successful results are charged.

## Usage
Set the request's `model` field to `black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell`. Always pass it explicitly.

TypeScript SDK, Text → Image:

```ts
import Mynth from "@mynthio/sdk";

const mynth = new Mynth();

const task = await mynth.image.generate({
  model: "black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell",
  prompt: "A lighthouse at dusk, 35mm film",
  size: "1:1",
});

console.log(task.urls[0]);
```

REST (cURL), Text → Image:

```bash
curl https://api.mynth.io/image/generate \

    "model": "black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell",
    "prompt": "A lighthouse at dusk, 35mm film",
    "size": "1:1"
  }'
```
