I appreciate the effort in showing how to easily download Flux, but I think it's really important to mention the **hardware requirements** upfront in videos like this. Flux and other AI models need **serious GPU power**, specifically a GPU with **at least 12-24 GB of VRAM** to run smoothly, especially for higher precision models like FP16. Without knowing this, many viewers-especially those without technical knowledge-might waste time downloading and attempting to run it on their standard PCs, only to find out it doesn't work. This can be disheartening, particularly for people who are just starting out or don't have access to high-end hardware. It would be really helpful to include the necessary specs in future videos to save your audience the frustration of realizing too late that their hardware isn’t up to the task. Transparency on hardware needs builds trust and ensures that viewers can follow along without unrealistic expectations. Thanks again for the tutorial, but please keep this in mind for future content! I'm aware of these requirements but the majority of people are learning AI out there and they waste a lot of time I'm sure and become frustrated.
That minimal WebUI works with lower VRAM just fine. Are you going to be churning out 1000 pictures a day? Of course not, but if you are doing this commercially, you should invest in an RTX 4090 or, better yet, wait a few months for the 5090.
2:33 that is not true. Read exactly what license says. You are not allowed to use MODEL commercially, meaning sell services that are connected to it like your own image generator for credits/money etc. But license states that outputs are 100% yours and you can use them freely, that means also commercially. The limit regards MODEL itself, while it's outputs are free to use however you want.
@@aliciawindsor1852 not as simple as you may think. I can recognize Flux outputs over others. Run it for 2, 4, 8, 12 steps - you will see what I mean. When you train yourself, you can see it when zoomed even after 50 steps. You can't edit it out. It's like the fabric. Hard to explain, try to run flux and check yourself.
@@dawidblachowski I guess you're into conspiracy theories. I've run Flux, SD, and SDXL and although my vision is fine, I guess you must have Superman vision. Anyway, good luck for the Flux legal team to prove that to any Judge. This reminds me of the movie industry suing 10 year old kids for millions of dollars for a single copyright infringement. Good luck collecting.
@@aliciawindsor1852 have you even played with flux? Make a picture less than 5-10 runs, you will see specific pixel "checkers" on the zoom. If you see it, then you will see it on 50 runs as well and not zoomed picture. Also nobody can sue me, outputs are free to use including commercial use. the MODEL has restriction eg. you cant offer services that use it eg. via API. Read it once again or ask AI to read it for you.
what are the hardware requirements for flux-I've read you have to have a lot of RAM on your GPU? Can I run stable diffusion and flux on the same PC without issues?
You'll need a reasonably powerful system. Here are the typical system requirements for optimal performance: - GPU: A modern graphics card with at least 8GB of VRAM is recommended, though certain quantized versions of the model can run on lower VRAM setups. For best results, GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 4070 or RTX 4060 are ideal. If you're using models with higher resolution or need faster processing, a GPU with 12-16GB VRAM is preferable. - RAM: At least 16GB of system RAM is recommended, although more complex tasks might require higher memory for optimal performance. - Processor: A recent multi-core CPU is also suggested to handle the AI image generation workload efficiently. FLUX can run on less powerful hardware, but you might notice longer generation times.

@@KevinStratverteven from Poland I watch you and you are very high on list of people from who I want to learn the business.

Hello Kevin, I followed all the steps in your tutorial and Im done installing it. Mines currently running at 500seconds now, although I use RTX 3070, 32gb ram, and 12600k. any advice?
I've done everything as you instructed - downloaded all the packs. But am failing to land on the page flux - webui. It didn't open automatically. Please assist me here, Kevin
You are my favourite TH-camr. Always useful videos. Let me ask one thing... Can't use commericially, meaning you can't use the generated image for an TH-cam video ?
Hi! Thank you for the awesome video. I have a question. Will the images we generate locally remain local or will they be available to the public, or even sent online?
@@KevinStratvert Thank you so much for the reply but my question is about privacy. I mean if I generate an image on my device locally and am not willing to share it online, then will it circulate the internet like ones on online AI image generators do or will it remain private with me?
When you uninstall Pinokio, it removes the core program but does not automatically delete all the installed AI models and dependencies. These files, such as AI models, environments, and custom packages, are stored separately, and you will need to manually remove them if you want a full cleanup.
I have all installed but I see that when I put a prompt and run, my GPU is not fully utilized and the percentage is is stuck, while the timer continues to go. I suppose this is not normal. Is there any way to choose the dedicated hardware of the PC to do this? Already 120 seconds and nothing happened. RTX 4070 and Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 32GB of DDR5
@ I uninstalled this flux webui and installed Forge from Pinokio which is the same image generator but optimised to run on low vram hardware. That issue I had previously was sure to lack of vram
Thank you for the video! Installation and creating the first couple of images worked just fine. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there are more options like sampling methods, including LoRA, etc?
Can you talk about where is the best place to use flux 1.1 pro model? would like to pay for it but not sure which platform/website is better using it. I found flux schnell isnt that great for photo realistic quality.
I was unable to install Pinokio. I got a quarantine warning and further installation attempts went no further than the "install" items page with only half the items shown as installed.
Every PC has a graphic card, including the ONE you're using NOW! The question should be, which is the best graphic card for this to work well on your PC. He said Nvidia RTX GPUs

i think the video is not researched well. didnt say important points like vram etc. pole will get misguided and may take 30min or more to generate a single image if using low end gpus
Before it generates the image, it has to load the model and related assets (e.g., weights and environment configurations) into your system's VRAM and memory. Once the model is loaded, you'll notice your GPU kick in to generate the image.
The first image generated using FLUX AI can take longer than subsequent images. This is because the first generation typically involves loading the model and related assets (e.g., weights and environment configurations) into your system's VRAM and memory. Once the model is loaded, subsequent image generations can be faster since the system doesn't need to reload the model unless you close or reset the program.
