FLUX
High-fidelity open-weight image models
Updated 6 Aug 2026
What FLUX does
FLUX is a family of image models from Black Forest Labs, offering open-weight and hosted variants with strong prompt adherence.
Our review of FLUX
FLUX made open-weight image generation genuinely competitive again. Prompt adherence and text rendering are markedly better than earlier open models, and the schnell variant is fast enough for interactive use. Licensing differs by variant, so check terms before commercial use. It has quickly become the default base model for people building their own image products.
Pros
- Excellent prompt adherence
- Readable text in images
- Open-weight variants available
- Fast schnell model
Cons
- Licence terms differ per variant
- Requires infrastructure to self-host
- Fewer built-in editing tools
Pricing
Open-weight variants free; hosted API priced per image.
