    One of the things they seem to be emphasizing here is the UX around being able to place specific elements where you want them in an image. If the positions of the components in the overall composition are very important, this seems to make that a lot easier and kind of reminds me of InvokeAI.

    Ideogram V4, an open-weight model released back in June can also do this [1], but you have to use a relatively cumbersome JSON structure to describe all the different bounding boxes. So it’s definitely a bit of a hassle.

    I'll probably be waiting until it goes open-weight (hopefully soon) like they did with Flux.2 / Klein.

    Agreed with other comments about the UX. I'm more interested in that than the model itself. Would like to start seeing UI like this where you get to choose the model and compare different models. Can't jump all over the internet to each model developers sandbox just to test their models. Doing it from one place would be nice.

    The UX looks amazing and very steerable, congrats to the team for focusing on the interface.

    Chats can be awful user interfaces.

      The original article mentions:

      > We will open up an early access phase for FLUX 3 Image in the following weeks.

      Not sure if there was a separate post for early access or if they just skipped to this.

    I think we are all waiting for the open weights or local model releases.

      Has that been announced?

      The website mentions:

      > FLUX 3 Image is available under a commercial weights license for companies running image generation at scale. Fine-tune and deploy it on your own infrastructure. Reach out to us to learn more.

    It's this a new model or a new ui?

    That sort of steering ability that has been possible with the latest Gemini releases has been nice to work with over previous generations. It’s great to see this improve on the platform with declarative controls built into the API and coming soon as an open model.

    Unrelated to the flux images used for floppy disk archiving? Sigh.
