What is FLUX (Black Forest Labs)?
FLUX is the image model family from Black Forest Labs, founded by researchers behind the original Stable Diffusion. It is known for photorealism, prompt following and good text rendering.
Some versions are released with open weights for local use, while the strongest ones are offered through BFL’s API and partners such as fal and Replicate. FLUX Kontext adds editing by instruction.
