What is FLUX.1 Kontext?
FLUX.1 Kontext is a suite of generative flow matching models developed by Black Forest Labs, designed for advanced image generation and editing. Unlike traditional text-to-image models, it excels in in-context image generation, allowing users to prompt with both text and existing images. This enables seamless extraction and modification of visual concepts to produce new, coherent renderings while preserving relationships to the surrounding scene. It targets users and developers who require precise, flexible, and high-quality image manipulation capabilities.
How to use FLUX.1 Kontext
Users can interact with FLUX.1 Kontext through a web-based playground for direct experimentation or integrate it into their applications via the Black Forest Labs API. The model suite is also available on various third-party platforms like Freepik, Fal, Replicate, TogetherAI, Krea, Leonardo AI, and OpenArt. For developers, an open-weights 'dev' version is available on GitHub and Hugging Face, with commercial licensing options. The interaction involves providing an input image and text instructions to perform edits or generate new scenes, with the ability to iteratively refine creations.
