It's only free if you have an expensive GPU with a lot of VRAM. But otherwise I agree - Musk has no idea what he's doing - I doubt this will bring substantial money

Uh no, I run Flux on my 8gb card no problem. Takes about 4 mins per render.

I only checked replicate api but you can generate 333 images for $1. Ofc takes some know-how but it's cheap if you can get it set up

There are a series of quants available at much smaller sizes such that you don't need the full size model. The full fp16 model is 23 GB but the fp8 quant is half that, and there are GGUF quants down to 6.8 GB.
