Introducing FLUX.1 Kontext and the BFL Playground

FLUX.1 Kontext marks a significant expansion of classic text-to-image models by unifying instant text-based image editing and text-to-image generation. As a multimodal flow model, it combines state-of-the-art character consistency, context understanding and local editing capabilities with strong text-to-image synthesis.

Whether for ideation, drafting, conceptual design, or just for fun - text-to-image remains a crucial component of today's image generation. The FLUX.1 Kontext models deliver state-of-the-art image generation results with strong prompt following, photorealistic rendering, and competitive typography—all at inference speeds up to 8x faster than current leading models (e.g. GPT-Image).

FLUX.1 Kontext models go beyond text-to-image. Unlike previous flow models that only allow for pure text based generation, FLUX.1 Kontext models also understand and can create from existing images. With FLUX.1 Kontext you can modify an input image via simple text instructions, enabling flexible and instant image editing - no need for finetuning or complex editing workflows. The core capabilities of the the FLUX.1 Kontext suite are:

• Character consistency: Preserve unique elements of an image, such as a reference character or object in a picture, across multiple scenes and environments.
• Local editing: Make targeted modifications of specific elements in an image without affecting the rest.
• Style Reference: Generate novel scenes while preserving unique styles from a reference image, directed by text prompts.
• Interactive Speed: Minimal latency for both image generation and editing.
