Black Forest Labs quietly posts a FLUX 3 Image model page

On October 2, 2026, a model page for FLUX 3 Image appeared on the Black Forest Labs website at https://bfl.ai/models/flux-3-image. The page was picked up on Hacker News, where the entry reached 164 points and 30 comments, with discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49925974. That source offered no details on parameters, pricing, or how widely the model would be available.

Later the same day, The Decoder reported that Black Forest Labs had released Flux 3 Image, describing it as the image side of its Flux 3 model family. According to that report, the model supports multi-step edits that leave the rest of the image unchanged, lets users compose scenes using bounding boxes and up to ten reference images, and outputs at up to 4K resolution. The report also said open weights are coming in the next few weeks.

The two sources differ slightly in how they write the name, with one using FLUX 3 Image and the other Flux 3 Image, but both refer to the same model page and release. As things stand, the model page is live and the feature details come from The Decoder's report, while the open weights have not yet been published. Neither source provides further information on parameters, pricing, or availability.
