    FLUX 3 Image adds box-guided editing, ten references and up-to-4K output

    BFL's October 1 announcement and live API docs establish image generation and targeted editing with up to ten references. Bounding boxes guide composition. Pixel-preservation claims are the publisher's, not an independent benchmark; a separate open-weights edition is promised rather than available now.

    BFL offers 50% off FLUX 3 Image API use through October 8

    The original BFL reply announces a time-limited API promotion, and the current default pricing calculator displays a discounted rate. This is separate from the model launch and is not a permanent pricing cut or a discount on every resolution and licensing option without checking the applicable terms.
