> Open-weight text-to-image models with state-of-the-art realism

Flux is a family of text-to-image generation models from Black Forest Labs, offering three tiers: Flux Pro (API-only, highest quality), Flux Dev (open-weights, non-commercial), and Flux Schnell (open-weights, Apache 2.0 licensed). It is designed for developers, researchers, and creatives who need high-quality image synthesis with flexible deployment options. Models can be accessed via APIs (Replicate, Fal, Together AI) or self-hosted using ComfyUI or Hugging Face diffusers.
