FLUX.2 unifies AI image generation and editing at 4MP resolution

Black Forest Labs has announced the launch of FLUX.2, its new generation of artificial intelligence models designed for professional creative workflows. The FLUX.2 family unifies image generation and editing in a single model, with four variants ranging from open source to commercial production services. According to the company, the model significantly reduces generation costs and times compared to previous alternatives.

The model allows working with up to 10 reference images simultaneously to maintain coherence in characters, products, or visual styles. The maximum resolution reaches 4 megapixels, aimed at projects requiring high definition such as product photography or architectural visualization.

Technical improvements include higher levels of detail in generated images, sharper textures, and more stable lighting. Complex typography rendering, infographics, and interface mockups work more reliably than in previous versions. The model also incorporates better tracking of structured instructions with multiple elements and compositional constraints, along with more grounded knowledge about real-world lighting and spatial logic in generated scenes.

FLUX.2 is offered in four versions. FLUX.2 Pro is the highest performance option, available via API for professional production. FLUX.2 Flex allows adjusting parameters such as the number of processing steps to balance quality and generation speed. FLUX.2 Dev is a 32-billion parameter model available on Hugging Face for local execution. FLUX.2 Klein, still in beta, will be an open-source version under Apache 2.0 license.

The technical architecture combines the Mistral-3 vision-language model with 24 billion parameters with a rectified flow transformer. According to Black Forest Labs, this combination provides contextual knowledge of the real world while processing spatial relationships and material properties. All models in the family use FLUX.2 VAE, a new image representation component available under Apache 2.0 license.

FLUX.2 Dev is available through platforms such as FAL, Replicate, Runware, TogetherAI, Cloudflare, and DeepInfra. Black Forest Labs maintains its "open core" strategy, which combines downloadable and locally executable models for the developer community with commercial services for teams requiring scalability.
