Here’s my latest Flux model for you. It’s not yet a final version; I’m treating it more as a tool to create training illustrations for my upcoming enhanced version of Fractalex.
This version doesn’t yet generate fractals as intense as Fractalex XL—it’s more subtle and a bit less stable. Still, the images it produces are intriguing enough that I decided to share this version with you as well.
It handles substantial weight increases well and works nicely with some of the Flux Schnell base models.
Feel free to download it and experiment!

It's incredible to think that 10 years ago, such images would have been considered creatively astonishing, but now the machine can dream so vividly, whole forms of imagery will be considered by the wider audience as "AI slop".
But it happened before, many times. Like when elaborate wooden carving fell out of fashion when machine tools in the 19th Century made such work commonplace and 'cheap'.
Myself, I find the machine dreams endlessly fascinating- machine tools are the true ingenuity of Mankind.
Yes I'm afraid AI imagery will have a very short time in the spotlight. We already glance and shrug when we see things which would have astounded us a few years ago. It will become a tool for commercial imagery where it's use is invisible. Illustrators will become far and few until like portrait painters only a scattering remain.
I still remember a world without mobile phones and the internet. Unfortunately, everything passes, changes, and evolves. We can't stop it. I have many artist friends who create in a traditional, analog way. A small part of them watches these changes with enthusiasm and fascination, while others view them with fear, seeing them as a threat. I believe that art will endure regardless of technological progress, though we have to accept that its form will change. I, however, look to the future with enthusiasm. We can now create and see things with far greater ease, things we could not even imagine not so long ago. And there’s still so much ahead of us 😉
After some testing- while my renders are not that close to the examples shown here, they are still very impressive. I guess these examples were not using Flux-Dev?
I was using Flux Fusion in version - fluxFusionDSSmoothMerge4StepsAIO_v0Fp8E4m3fnAIO.
With CFG-1 and Steps-6.
I don't remember how the creator described it, but SwarmUI, which I use for generation, detects it as Flux.1 Schnell. I often increased the Lora weight to 1.8 – this doesn't cause any noticeable artifacts or image degradation, and the effect is sometimes more interesting and intensified.
I had the same problem. The style was pretty cool, but not very fractal-y. However, I added "fractals" as well as the "fractalex" trigger and was getting much more of the style as seen in the examples. Base flux dev model.
