On October 2, The Decoder reported that Black Forest Labs has released Flux 3 Image, the image side of the Flux 3 family. The report presents several capabilities as the company’s claims. The model supports multi-step edits without changing other parts of the image, and it covers text-to-image, image-to-image, text rendering, and photorealism. Users can lay out a scene with bounding boxes, include up to ten reference images, and output up to 4K.

Leaving the rest of the picture unchanged is a capability claim from Black Forest Labs. This short article does not include an independent test, and it does not say which pixels are preserved or after how many edit steps. The bounding boxes, the ten reference images, and the 4K output are also from this retelling, not from a comparison we ran.
[1]The report says a free demo is available. The body we have does not include the demo address. API access is 50 percent off through October 8. Companies can license commercial weights to run and fine-tune the model on their own infrastructure. An open-weight version is expected in the coming weeks. The article does not give the price before the discount, and it does not give the license for the open weights.
The same piece notes that, shortly before this launch, Ideogram announced version 4.5, also focused on editing and also set to ship as open weights soon. That is a different company’s release. Its figures are not in this short article.
