About FLUX
FLUX is Black Forest Labs' flagship family of image generation and editing models, and in 2026 it sets the bar for prompt following and creative control. The FLUX.2 line generates photorealistic images up to 4MP with multi-reference editing that blends up to ten source images, while FLUX Tools add outpainting, inpainting, erasing and virtual try-on through one API. Open-weight variants (FLUX.2 [klein], FLUX.1 [dev]) can be self-hosted for full control, and FLUX runs inside Claude, Cursor and Codex via MCP. For creators and developers who want image quality that survives zooming in, it is the model family to build on.
