About

What flux-ip-adapter is

<img src="https://github.com/XLabs-AI/x-flux/blob/main/assets/readme/light/join-our-discord-rev1.png?raw=true" This repository provides a IP-Adapter checkpoint for FLUX.1-dev model by Black Forest Labs See our github for comfy ui workflows. Models IP-Adapter is trained on 512x512 resolution for 50k steps and 1024x1024 for 25k steps resolution and works for both 512x512 and 1024x1024 resolution. Model is training, we release new checkpoints regularly, stay updated. We release v1 version - which can be used directly in ComfyUI! Please, see our ComfyUI custom nodes installation guide Examples See examples of our models results below. Also, some generation results with input images are provided in "Files and versions" Inference To try our models, you have 2 options: 1. Use main.py from our official repo 2. Use our custom nodes for ComfyUI and test it with provided workflows (check out folder /workflows) Instruction for ComfyUI 1. Go to ComfyUI/customnodes 2. Clone x-flux-comfyui, path should be ComfyUI/customnodes/x-flux-comfyui/, where is all the files in this repo 3. Go to ComfyUI/customnodes/x-flux-comfyui/ and run python setup.py 4. Update x-flux-comfy with git pull or reinstall it. 5. Download Clip-L model.safetensors from OpenAI VIT CLIP large, and put it to ComfyUI/models/clipvision/. 6. Download our IPAdapter from huggingface, and put it to ComfyUI/models/xlabs/ipadapters/. 7. Use Flux Load IPAdapter and Apply Flux IPAdapter nodes, choose right CLIP model and enjoy your genereations. 8. You can find example workflow in folder workflows in this repo. If you get bad results, try to set truegs=2 Limitations The IP Adapter is currently in beta. We do not guarantee that you will get a good result right away, it may take more attempts to get a result.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys flux-ip-adapter for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (flux-ip-adapter below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"flux-ip-adapter","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
