Black Forest Labs released FLUX.1 Kontext dev, a 12B parameter open-weight image editing model with proprietary-level performance on consumer hardware.
The model is available under a non-commercial license for free research use and supports popular frameworks like ComfyUI, HuggingFace Diffusers, and TensorRT.
Evaluations on KontextBench and independent tests show FLUX.1 Kontext dev outperforms other open and closed image editing models.
Optimized TensorRT weights (BF16, FP8, FP4) for NVIDIA Blackwell architecture improve inference speed and efficiency.
A self-serve licensing portal simplifies commercial licensing of FLUX.1 models with transparent terms.
The non-commercial license was updated to clarify definitions, require content filters, ensure provenance, and specify usage restrictions.
