Recommended Parameters for Image Generation Models

GPUStack currently does not support GGUF image generation models that are not all-in-one (base model, text encoder, and VAE combined). Please refer to the supported model list for details:

The core parameters of image generation models are key to achieving desired outputs. These include Prompt, Seed, Resolution, Sampler, Scheduler, Sampling Steps and CFG scale. Different models may have variations in parameter settings. In order to quickly get started and generate satisfying images, the following section is going to provide some reference values for parameter configurations.

FLUX.1-dev

For FLUX models, it is recommended to disable CFG (CFG=1) for better results.
