Freepik Launches AI Image Model Called F Lite

Freepik, the online graphic design platform, has launched a new open AI image model called F Lite, trained entirely on commercially licensed, safe-for-work images.

F Lite is open-source, is fully commercially usable, features 10 billion parameters, and was trained on 80 million fully licensed images.

Developed in partnership with AI startup Fal.ai, F Lite was trained over two months using 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs.

The model comes in two versions: standard, which is more prompt-accurate, and texture, which is more creative but prone to errors. Both were trained on a dataset of roughly 80 million images.

Freepik acknowledges that F Lite isn’t yet on par with models like Flux, Midjourney, ChatGPT, or Imagen 3. As their first effort, the goal was simply to get started and open-source it for community improvement.

Earlier this year, Freepik becsme the first platform to host Google’s advanced AI video generation model, Veo 2. Now publicly available, Veo 2 delivers high realism and smooth animation, consuming 1,000 credits per use. The first 10,000 users receive two generations free.
