What it is

What is FLUX 3?

The next FLUX

FLUX 3 is a big step over FLUX.2 in realism, text rendering and prompt understanding. It can look things up before it draws, so real products, places and styles come out right.

Edit, combine, lay out

Edit a single image, combine up to 10 references, or describe where things go — FLUX 3 follows layouts and keeps the parts you didn't mention untouched. Reference images are free.
