Freepik Launches F Lite, an Open-Source AI Image Model Trained on Licensed Data

Freepik has launched F Lite, a new open-source AI image model. The model was trained exclusively on commercially licensed, safe-for-work images. F Lite contains approximately 10 billion parameters and was developed with Fal.ai, using 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs over two months. F Lite is available in standard and texture versions, trained on 80 million images. The standard version is more predictable, while the texture version offers better textures. Freepik aims to provide developers with an openly available model for customization and improvement. Running F Lite requires a GPU with at least 24GB of VRAM. Other companies developing media-generating models on licensed data include Adobe, Bria, Getty Images, Moonvalley, and Shutterstock.
