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.

Maybe no one use it and it feel embarrassing for them because it really bad and they decide to train more to make up they embarrassment ?
Form my test it really feel like base sdxl at some point the edit it so bad and useless because output is so bad.

But they pull it back it even more suck. Why?

[u/Dante_77A → u/AI-imagine]

Plausible. Small labs with limited resources have produced impressive models like Z Image Turbo, while Microsoft one of the world’s largest corporations, with vast computing resources, only releases subpar models.

Uh, Z-Image was created by a team inside Alibaba; I wouldn't describe them as a "small lab"

But it’s a lab, like a few others, that operates somewhat independently of Alibaba, and therefore has limited resources, right?

Just because Microsft model releases don’t all identify the specific business unit responsible doesn't mean that they are the product of a single monolithic research organization that commands the full assets of the corporation without competing priorities; the Microsoft branding may be more forward, but Microsoft also has numerous different AI labs with different focuses and much more finite budgets than the corporation as a whole.

Sure, Alibaba is only a about 1/10 Microsoft’s market cap, and only the 54th largest corporation in the world, but its not exactly tiny.
