Overview

Open-weight 5.6B image model from the FLUX 3 family for generation, multi-reference generation and editing, with native 4K output and bounding-box control. Ships as a base model for fine-tuning and a step-distilled model for low-latency generation, in FP8, INT8 and NVFP4 builds; the INT8 build runs on GeForce RTX cards with 8 GB of VRAM through ComfyUI or Diffusers. FLUX Kommunity License: businesses under $5M annual revenue may use it commercially without a fee, larger ones need a self-hosting agreement or the API. BFL's quality claims are internal evaluations; no Arena rating yet.
