FLUX: the line that moved image generation from "produce a picture" to controllable editing with open weights

Black Forest Labs' FLUX family generates images with a rectified-flow transformer and ships Apache-2.0 dev weights, making it the most important open baseline on the image side; the Kontext tier turned "edit this part of the image on instruction without disturbing the rest" into a usable capability. The collected record also covers the FLUX 3 launch, which the vendor positions as a world model unifying image, video and audio - a claim log as unverified.
