Flux

Image Generation Control Plane

Active private operator deployment · Intentionally unlinked

Summary

Flux is a private creation-and-curation control plane for image generation. It validates a request into a typed generation intent, selects an eligible provider account, streams provider events, and finalizes completed outputs into manifest-backed storage and run projections.

Strongest proof

The active private operator deployment finalizes outputs with SHA-256 hashes, sizes, sidecars, and a manifest digest. Twenty accepted architecture decision records document the current control plane.

Technical decision

A validated intent moves through provider and account resolution, privacy guards, a common execute(intent) event stream, and manifest-backed finalization. Provider-specific wire formats stay behind the typed boundary.

Current limit

The repository is private and intentionally unlinked. Some RunPod-BYO wiring remains incomplete, and no traffic, adoption, or performance-at-scale claim is made.

Technical shape

Generation pipeline

  • Type-safe Python core.
  • GenerateRequest → GenerationIntent → provider resolution → event stream → finalization.
  • Common provider contract with concrete Fal, Replicate, local mflux, and readiness-gated RunPod-BYO adapters.

Artifact evidence

  • Manifest-backed storage with SHA-256 hashes, sizes, sidecars, and a manifest digest.
  • Run-scoped output object keys and an input by-hash helper.
  • Manifest-driven, inspectable run projections.
