Flux
Image Generation Control Plane
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.
