FLUX.1 Kontext by Black Forest Labs is a powerful model for in-context image editing. The 12B [dev] version is now open-weight, offering top-tier character and style consistency on consumer hardware.
For a while now, FLUX.1 Kontext has been something of a legend in the AI image community, known for its incredible ability to edit images with contextual understanding.
Well, now Black Forest Labs made the [dev] version open-weight! This means a model with top-tier character and style consistency can now run on our own consumer hardware. It’s about iterative, contextual editing that actually works.
Given the buzz the model has already had, I'm sure many have tried it. Now that there's an open-weight version you can run on your own machine, it's a great time to see what it can really do.
They really nailed the user experience on this. The edits feel smart but still let you stay in control. Love that they made it open source — not enough teams do that anymore.
Open-sourcing a model this powerful? Now that's how you move the entire AI art community forward. Can't wait to see what magic people create with this on consumer hardware! Huge congratulations for FLUX.1 Kontext!
