Flux
NewNext-gen open-source image model with stunning quality
What is Flux?
Flux by Black Forest Labs represents the next generation of open-source image generation. Built by former Stability AI researchers, it delivers image quality that rivals Midjourney — with the flexibility of open-source. Flux models come in three tiers: Schnell (fast, Apache-licensed), Dev (research-focused), and Pro (commercial API). The models excel at photorealism, typography rendering, and complex scene composition. Available through hosted platforms like Replicate, fal.ai, and ComfyUI, Flux has quickly become the preferred open-source model for quality-focused creators.
