67
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
68
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
70
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

|
74
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
80
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)

|
|
82

+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
87
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|

88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

|
90
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
91
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
92
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
95
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
98
|

|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
101
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
102
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
103
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
104
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
107
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
108
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
109
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
110
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
111
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE file distributed
|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
115
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
116
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
117
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
118
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
119
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
120
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
121
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
124
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
125
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
126
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
127
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
132
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
160
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
168
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
169
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
170
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
171
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
173
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
174
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

# mflux-taef
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
Adds two commands to [mflux](https://github.com/mflux-community/mflux): `mflux-generate-z-image-turbo-taef` and
|
|
31
|
+
`mflux-generate-z-image-taef`. Each takes every option of the mflux command it mirrors
|
|
32
|
+
(`mflux-generate-z-image-turbo` and `mflux-generate-z-image`), runs mflux's own loading and generation steps, and
|
|
33
|
+
writes a live preview image while the picture is being denoised. Open the file in Preview or Quick Look, and press
|
|
34
|
+
Ctrl-C when the composition is wrong instead of waiting for the last step.
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
The preview is the image as it stands after the current step, decoded by a tiny decoder from
|
|
37
|
+
[mlx-taef](https://github.com/IonDen/mlx-taef). It is not the final image, which mflux still decodes with the model's
|
|
38
|
+
own VAE and saves the usual way.
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
mflux-taef lives in the `taef/` folder of [mflux-plugins](https://github.com/mflux-community/mflux-plugins), the plugin
|
|
41
|
+
repository of the mflux-community organization. Denis Ineshin maintains it. The tiny decoder is in mlx-taef, a separate
|
|
42
|
+
Python library by the same author; this package connects it to mflux's command line.
|
|
43
|
+
[Versions](#versions) lists what it installs with.
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
## Install
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
The recommended setup puts mflux and this package in one tool environment:
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
```bash
|
|
50
|
+
uv tool install mflux --with-executables-from mflux-taef
|
|
51
|
+
```
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
You get mflux's commands and the two TAEF commands side by side. In a virtual environment that already has mflux:
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
```bash
|
|
56
|
+
pip install mflux-taef
|
|
57
|
+
```
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
Installing the package brings in mlx-taef. The first run downloads the decoder and converts it for MLX;
|
|
60
|
+
later runs reuse it.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
## Usage
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
Use the Turbo command for Turbo; the base command runs both.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
```bash
|
|
67
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-turbo-taef --prompt "a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk" --steps 8 --seed 42
|
|
68
|
+
```
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
Every `mflux-generate-z-image-turbo` option works the same way. For Z-Image base:
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
```bash
|
|
73
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-taef --prompt "a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk" --steps 50 --guidance 4.0 --seed 42
|
|
74
|
+
```
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
Before each image the command prints where its preview goes, for example
|
|
77
|
+
`TAEF preview: image.preview.png, every step (zimage decoder)`.
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
Three options control the preview:
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
| Option | Default | What it does |
|
|
82
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
83
|
+
| `--taef-preview PATH` | `<output name>.preview.png`, next to the output image | Where the preview goes: a `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg` or `.webp` file (any letter case). `PATH` may contain `{seed}`. |
|
|
84
|
+
| `--taef-every N` | every step | Update the preview every `N` steps; `N` is 1 or more. |
|
|
85
|
+
| `--taef-frames` | off | Keep every step as its own file, `<preview name>_stepNN.<suffix>`. |
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
`--taef-frames` writes every step, so it can't be combined with `--taef-every`. `NN` counts the steps this run
|
|
88
|
+
executed, so an image-to-image run, which starts partway through the schedule, numbers from its own first step.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
### Where the files go
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
By default the preview sits next to the final image: for `--output out.png` it is `out.preview.png`. With several
|
|
93
|
+
seeds, mflux adds `_seed_<n>` to the output name, so the previews get it too.
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
An explicit `--taef-preview PATH` is one live file, and each seed overwrites it in turn, so reopen the file to see the
|
|
96
|
+
latest preview. Put `{seed}` in `PATH` to get one file per seed instead. With `--taef-frames` and several seeds,
|
|
97
|
+
`_seed_<n>` is added to the end of the name, so each seed keeps its own `..._seed_<n>_stepNN...` files. The line the
|
|
98
|
+
command prints before each seed shows the real path for that seed.
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
### Previews and `--stepwise-image-output-dir`
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
mflux's `--stepwise-image-output-dir` decodes every step with the model's full VAE and keeps every step plus a
|
|
103
|
+
composite image. A preview goes through the tiny decoder into one file. mlx-taef's
|
|
104
|
+
[comparison page](https://github.com/IonDen/mlx-taef/blob/main/COMPARISON.md) has the published decode speed and the
|
|
105
|
+
similarity to the full VAE for Z-Image; this package adds no timing figure of its own.
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
The two options can run in the same command: mflux writes its step images to its directory and this package writes the
|
|
108
|
+
preview file or frames to the preview path.
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
## Checked on real weights
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
On 2026-11-09 the TAEF commands below ran on real weights, and the single-seed 512×512 ones were compared with the
|
|
113
|
+
plain mflux command with the same options. The machine was an Apple M1 Max with 32 GB, macOS 27.2, Python 3.13,
|
|
114
|
+
mflux 0.24.0 and mlx-taef 0.9.0. The prompt was "a red apple on a wooden table" and the seed 42. The models were
|
|
115
|
+
`mflux-community/z-image-turbo-mflux-q4` and `mflux-community/z-image-base-mflux-q4`. The first two lines are the plain
|
|
116
|
+
commands the TAEF images were compared with; the rest are the TAEF commands:
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
```bash
|
|
119
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-turbo --model mflux-community/z-image-turbo-mflux-q4 --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 8 --seed 42 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png
|
|
120
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image --model mflux-community/z-image-base-mflux-q4 --base-model z-image --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 20 --guidance 4.0 --low-ram --seed 42 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png
|
|
121
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-turbo-taef --model mflux-community/z-image-turbo-mflux-q4 --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 8 --seed 42 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png
|
|
122
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-turbo-taef --model mflux-community/z-image-turbo-mflux-q4 --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 8 --seed 42 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png --taef-frames
|
|
123
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-turbo-taef --model mflux-community/z-image-turbo-mflux-q4 --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 8 --seed 42 43 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png
|
|
124
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-taef --model mflux-community/z-image-base-mflux-q4 --base-model z-image --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 20 --guidance 4.0 --low-ram --seed 42 --width 512 --height 512 --output image.png --taef-every 5
|
|
125
|
+
mflux-generate-z-image-taef --model mflux-community/z-image-base-mflux-q4 --base-model z-image --prompt "a red apple on a wooden table" --steps 8 --guidance 4.0 --seed 42 --width 1024 --height 1024 --output image.png
|
|
126
|
+
```
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
- Turbo, 512×512: the TAEF image was pixel-identical to the plain one, and a 512×512 preview was written. With
|
|
129
|
+
`--taef-frames` the image was identical again, and 8 per-step preview files were written instead of the single
|
|
130
|
+
preview.
|
|
131
|
+
- Turbo with `--seed 42 43`: the seed-42 image was identical to the single-seed plain image, and each seed got its own
|
|
132
|
+
preview.
|
|
133
|
+
- Base, 512×512, with `--low-ram` and `--taef-every 5`: the image was identical to the plain one, and a preview was
|
|
134
|
+
written.
|
|
135
|
+
- Base, 1024×1024: the TAEF command finished and wrote the image and a 1024×1024 preview. There was no plain run of
|
|
136
|
+
that recipe, so there is no comparison.
|
|
137
|
+
- Ctrl-C after step 3 of 8 (the Turbo 512×512 TAEF command): mflux printed "Stopping image generation at step", the
|
|
138
|
+
exit code was 0, no image was written, and the preview stayed on disk.
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
In the single-image 512×512 Turbo runs above, the TAEF command used more memory than the plain one; that is one
|
|
141
|
+
comparison on one machine. The TAEF Turbo command was also started at 1024×1024 and did not finish in this test, so nothing here covers
|
|
142
|
+
Turbo at that size.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
## What the command checks
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
The command checks your request before it loads any weights. When it can't run, it stops with exit code 2 and a message
|
|
147
|
+
that says why. These refusals also tell you to run the plain mflux command to generate without previews:
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
- `--taef-every` below 1;
|
|
150
|
+
- a preview file that doesn't end in `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg` or `.webp`;
|
|
151
|
+
- a `--taef-preview` with a `{...}` field other than `{seed}`, or a `{seed}` field with more than a width. `{seed}`
|
|
152
|
+
takes a width of one to three digits (padded with spaces, or with zeros when it starts with 0), optionally followed
|
|
153
|
+
by `d`, so `{seed:04d}` and `{seed:3}` run. A conversion such as `{seed!r}`, a bare `{seed:d}`, any other spec and a
|
|
154
|
+
width of more than three digits (`{seed:0004}` included) are refused.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
These refusals only explain the problem:
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
- `--taef-every` together with `--taef-frames`;
|
|
159
|
+
- a `--taef-preview` path that is an existing directory or a symbolic link. The check runs before anything loads. With
|
|
160
|
+
`--taef-frames` the same goes for an existing directory or symbolic link at any `<preview name>_stepNN.<suffix>`
|
|
161
|
+
frame name in the preview's folder;
|
|
162
|
+
- a preview file name over 255 bytes, which is the most a file name can have. A `{seed:999}` width can reach that. With
|
|
163
|
+
`--taef-frames` the longest frame name is measured. Without this check the model would load and the first save would
|
|
164
|
+
fail, which turns the preview off;
|
|
165
|
+
- a preview path that names the same file as `--output`, or, with several seeds, as any seed's output (for example
|
|
166
|
+
`--seed 2 12 --output a.png --taef-preview 'a_seed_1{seed}.png'`). The match ignores letter case, because a default
|
|
167
|
+
macOS volume does. With `--taef-frames` the preview path itself is never written, so `--output` is compared with the
|
|
168
|
+
`<preview name>_stepNN.<suffix>` frame names instead. Without this check the last preview would take the name, and
|
|
169
|
+
mflux would save the final image under another one;
|
|
170
|
+
- a `--model` that is not one of mflux's names, not a local path that exists and not a Hugging Face repo id
|
|
171
|
+
(`org/model`). On an mflux whose model-path rules differ from the checked release, the name is left to mflux. A
|
|
172
|
+
missing path restored with `-C` names the file it came from;
|
|
173
|
+
- anything mflux's own option checks refuse, with mflux's own message.
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
Exit codes:
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
- 0: the run finished, you pressed Ctrl-C during generation (the last preview stays on disk), or the prompt file
|
|
178
|
+
couldn't be read.
|
|
179
|
+
- 1: the decoder couldn't be prepared (checked before the model loads; it prints `could not prepare the TAEF preview
|
|
180
|
+
decoder`), or the run failed after the model loaded (the traceback is printed).
|
|
181
|
+
- 2: the request was refused before any weights loaded.
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
If a preview fails during a run (a decode error, a folder you can't write to), the command prints one warning on
|
|
184
|
+
stderr, stops previews for that seed and finishes the image. The plugin writes nothing into the image's metadata or the
|
|
185
|
+
`--make-conf` sidecar, so the final image's metadata is what the plain command writes.
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
## What it doesn't do
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
- No fast final decode. The tiny decoder is for previews; the saved image still uses the model's VAE. mflux's own
|
|
190
|
+
`--low-ram` stays the option for decode memory. mflux decodes in row strips by default, and `--vae-full-precision`
|
|
191
|
+
switches that off.
|
|
192
|
+
- No composite image, GIF or video, no terminal or window display, and no record in the image's metadata.
|
|
193
|
+
- No prediction previews for Z-Image: mflux doesn't pass the model's prediction to Z-Image callbacks, so the preview
|
|
194
|
+
decodes the latent.
|
|
195
|
+
- No FLUX.1, FLUX.2, Qwen-Image or other model families yet (Qwen-Image 2.1 included).
|
|
196
|
+
- No command that combines TAEF with TeaCache (see the next section).
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
## With mflux-teacache
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
The two plugins install into one environment, because each adds only its own part of the `mflux.extras` namespace:
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
```bash
|
|
203
|
+
pip install mflux-taef mflux-teacache
|
|
204
|
+
```
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
They don't combine on the command line: `mflux-generate-z-image-teacache` has no `--taef-preview`, and the TAEF
|
|
207
|
+
commands don't skip steps. The libraries do work together from Python. TeaCache supports Z-Image base, not Turbo:
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
```python
|
|
210
|
+
from pathlib import Path

)
|

224

image.save("out.png")
