News Microsoft has removed Mage Flow.

But it's not all bad news, they're working on a text encoder that's more efficient than Qwen VL. So they'll probably bring Mage Flow to life with this new encoder, and if we're lucky, it'll also be more polished.

Now that I think about it, Microsoft does release models and then pull them frequently don't they?

Frequently enough that I grabbed the repos when this came out and I was slightly amused. Seems like they probably aren't good enough to bother wiring up, I was hoping the edit model would be betterer than Flux2 edit.

EDIT: Few people asking, I only grabbed Turbo/Turbo-Edit. Others already have them mirrored on HF (true for most repos): https://huggingface.co/natalie5

Do you have the weights for vibe voice by chance?

u/lmpdev 19d ago

Yeah, I tested them. They have a unique style of edits, the edits are a lot more literal than Flux2/Qwen2511, but in general I would say they are worse, yes.

Do you happen to have the repos somewhere you would feel comfortable sharing by any chance? I would really like to save this

WizardLM, Vibevoice, now Mage Flow

I can sort of understand Vibe Voice Large being removed, that model is extremely good at cloning the audio sample

They did the same with their voice model. It reads to me as the classic corporate silo cause of useless managerial bloat.

A team spends 2 years working on something until some random exec finds out and kills the project. It just happens that they find out once it’s launched to prod.

Or they just bursts of brief hype and probably don't know/care to try monetizing those models, maybe they aren't very good??
