>FLUX.1 [dev]: The base model

>FLUX.1 [schnell]: A distilled version of the base model that operates up to 10 times faster

It should also be noted that "schnell" is the German word for "fast".

Not quite right, per their github repo:

> Models

> We are offering three models:

> FLUX.1 [pro] the base model, available via API

> FLUX.1 [dev] guidance-distilled variant

> FLUX.1 [schnell] guidance and step-distilled variant

Schnell is definitely worse in quality, although still impressive (it gets text right). Dev is the really good one that arguably outperforms the new Midjourney 6.1

Also worth mentioning schnell is a 4-step model, so comparable to SD lightning in that regard
