FLUX API
Generate photorealistic images with FLUX.1 from Black Forest Labs. Dev mode for maximum quality at 12B parameters, Schnell mode for 4-step generation when speed matters. Standard OpenAI-compatible images endpoint, no diffusers setup required.

QUICK START
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.runcrate.ai/v1",
api_key="rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY",
)
response = client.images.generate(
model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev",
prompt="A cat astronaut floating in space, photorealistic",
size="1024x1024",
)
print(response.data[0].url)AVAILABLE MODELS
| Model | Provider | Price | Detail |

WHY RUNCRATE
FLUX.1 produces some of the most photorealistic AI-generated images available. Handles human faces, hands, and text rendering better than previous architectures.
Need speed over polish? FLUX.1 Schnell generates images in just 4 denoising steps, producing quality results in under a second.
FLUX.1 is a 12-billion parameter rectified flow transformer. More parameters means better prompt adherence and finer detail than smaller models.
FLUX.1 needs 24GB+ VRAM to run locally. Skip the hardware and use the API. Scale from one image to thousands without infrastructure changes.
