Black Forest Labs releases a smaller FLUX 3 image model for local creation
Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3 Image Klein on October 15. The 5.6-billion-parameter model supports text-to-image generation, editing, up to ten reference images, and controlled edits with bounding boxes. Base and distilled weights are available, including builds intended for consumer GPUs. Its claimed quality and speed come from company and partner evaluations; open weights do not mean unrestricted commercial use.
