***Work in Progress***Hyper Flux Dedistilled models combine the Flux-dev-de-distill checkpoint by nyanko7 with the Hyper-SD LoRA by ByteDance into single-file models in q4_KM GGUF format for easy use on mid-tier hardware.The Hyper 16 Steps version provides the same generation time as Flux-dev while producing better results. It approaches Flux Pro in terms of quality and prompt understanding. The Hyper 8 Steps version is twice as fast and offers a balance between speed and quality.Various weights for the Hyper-SD LoRA were tested, and these models were created using the ones that provided the best results.
