Image Generation: Flux not working

[martisaw]

Hi,

I get an error when using flux for image generation and can't figure out the issue.

As you can see I am not really getting a proper error message, it's empty:
LibreChat | 2025-12-28T15:59:22.067Z error: [FluxAPI] Error while getting result:

The UI only tells me "an error occured while retrieving the image".

In the Flux API Dashboard I created an api key, purchased some credits (before I was getting errors regarding to insufficient funds).
From their Documentation I took the api url FLUX_API_BASE_URL=https://api.bfl.ai
That's all I configured. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Same happens here. I get An error occurred while retrieving the image. when setting FLUX_API_BASE_URL=https://api.bfl.ai.

Without setting FLUX_API_BASE_URL, I get Something went wrong when trying to generate the image. The Flux API may be unavailable: Error Message: connect ETIMEDOUT 172.206.144.224:443

Has someone managed to get flux working?

Same here. Is someone working on this? Does it need to be an issue instead of a discussion?
