In simple English
This is the official code to run FLUX.2 image generation and editing models. You can create new images from text descriptions or edit existing ones. It runs on your own server or computer if you have enough graphics hardware. Some models are free to use for any purpose, while larger ones forbid commercial use. You need large model weights and technical knowledge to get it running.
What it is
This repository provides Python code to run inference for FLUX.2 text-to-image and image editing models. It includes scripts to generate images using command-line tools.
What it is good for
Solo developers and researchers who want to generate or edit high-quality images locally using open-weight models without relying on a third-party API.
- Includes models that generate images in under a second on modern consumer graphics cards.
- Supports both text-to-image generation and single or multi-reference image editing.
- Smaller 4B models use the Apache 2.0 licence for commercial freedom.
- Larger models require high-end graphics cards with substantial memory or specialized server hardware.
- Some model weights use a non-commercial licence that forbids business use.
- Requires downloading very large model weight files before you can generate anything.
