AfriVision-Base
AfriVision-Base is a standalone text-to-image model fine-tuned from black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-base-4B on AfriVision-30K, a curated dataset of African and Nigerian cultural imagery.
Developed by Axiveri AI Research.
Model Details
| Base model | FLUX.2-klein-base-4B (4B param, undistilled diffusion transformer) |
| Task | Text-to-image generation |
| Dataset | AfriVision-30K (14,472 records after CLIP filtering) |
| Cultures covered | Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, Nigerian English |
| Training steps | ~3,700 |
| Resolution | 768x768 |
| LoRA rank / alpha | 16 / 16 |
| Trigger word | AFRVS |
Usage
from diffusers import Flux2KleinPipeline
import torch
pipe = Flux2KleinPipeline.from_pretrained(
"Axiveri/AfriVision-Base",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
).to("cuda")
image = pipe(
"AFRVS a Yoruba bride in traditional iro and buba at a Lagos wedding",
num_inference_steps=28,
guidance_scale=3.5,
).images[0]
image.save("afrivision_output.png")
Trigger Word
Include AFRVS at the start of your prompt to activate the African cultural generation style. Every training caption was prefixed with AFRVS, so the model reliably associates that token with the learned style; omitting it produces closer-to-base-model behavior.
| With trigger | Without trigger |
|---|---|
AFRVS a Hausa man in traditional babban riga |
a Hausa man in traditional babban riga |
| Strong Nigerian cultural rendering | Closer to generic base model output |
Benchmark
10 prompts spanning Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin, and general Nigerian contexts, each rendered three ways: base model (no LoRA), AfriVision-Base without the trigger, and AfriVision-Base with AFRVS. Same seed and sampler settings across all three for a direct comparison.
