Microsoft open-sources Mage Flow for instant image generation and editing
Microsoft just released Mage Flow, an open-source 4B-parameter model that handles both text-to-image generation and instruction-based editing. It features native ControlNet capabilities and multilingual text rendering, while a 4-step Turbo variant spits out 1024px images in under 0.6 seconds on a single A100. At 17.5GB, it brings fast, interactive image manipulation directly to mid-to-high-end GPUs.
