【AIbase News】German artificial intelligence company Black Forest Labs officially launched its new image generation and editing system FLUX.2 during this year's Thanksgiving holiday. This release marks a significant advancement in the company's image generation technology, aiming to support efficient production-level creative workflows.
The FLUX.2 series includes four models of different sizes and purposes, with significant technical improvements, including the introduction of multi-reference conditions, higher fidelity outputs, and improved text rendering.
Core Advantages and Open Source Strategy
This system significantly improves the quality and efficiency of image generation and editing. In terms of application, FLUX.2 supports 4 million pixels of consistency in generation and editing tasks, especially suitable for product visualization and brand consistency asset creation. In addition, FLUX.2 has improved execution capabilities when handling complex multi-part instructions, reducing fault patterns related to lighting and spatial logic.
Although the previous version of the FLUX series received widespread attention for its open-source text-to-image model, only the **VAE (Variational Autoencoder)** in FLUX.2 is fully open source and follows the Apache 2.0 license. This open component aims to help enterprises achieve higher interoperability, avoid vendor lock-in, and enhance the flexibility of image generation.

Performance Leadership and Series Classification
FLUX.2 performed excellently in multiple performance benchmarks, outperforming other open-source alternatives in text-to-image generation, single editing, and multi-reference editing. Its success rate in image generation reached 66.6%, demonstrating its technological leadership. At the same time, FLUX.2's pricing strategy is relatively more advantageous, especially in high-resolution output.
The FLUX.2 product series includes:
FLUX.2[Pro]: The highest-performance version, designed for low-latency and high-visual-fidelity applications, will soon be available on commercial platforms and partners.
FLUX.2[Flex]
FLUX.2[Dev]: Allows setting up open weight checkpoints, enabling researchers and developers to run them locally to promote the development of the open-source ecosystem.
