FLUX 3 Image is a text-to-image and image-to-image model from Black Forest Labs. Its main feature is layout control: users or agents place elements on a canvas with bounding boxes and per-box descriptions, and can edit a finished image one box at a time while leaving the rest unchanged. The model is described as natively trained to understand image layout and composition.
The vendor's pages list text-to-image generation, editing, use of up to 10 reference images, and rendering at full resolution (a sample is 5456 × 3072 pixels, and the page mentions native 4K). The pricing page lists it as a 5.6B-parameter model that runs on a single consumer GPU, alongside a smaller FLUX 3 Image Klein variant.
It is accessed through Black Forest Labs' pay-as-you-go API with no subscriptions or seat fees. A commercial weights license is offered to companies that want to fine-tune and deploy it on their own infrastructure, by contacting the vendor. Public weights are not available at present. A YouTube creator noted that the vendor has said weights will be opened later, but that the same was promised for FLUX 3 Video and has not happened.
