Model ID: flux-kontext-dev black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Kontext-dev is a 12 billion parameter multimodal LVM (vision model) designed for high-fidelity image editing and generation using both text and image inputs. It excels in iterative image editing, maintaining character, style, and object consistency over multiple successive edits with minimal visual drift. The model reliably performs both local and global modifications, and is noted for its robust contextual understanding and ability to process instructions for precise regional edits or full scene transformations. Some other noteworthy features of black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Kontext-dev include:

Preserving unique elements (like characters or objects) across different scenes and environments, even after several edits.
Generating novel images with style or character references guided by either text or example images.

Metric	Value
Parameter Count	12 billion
Mixture of Experts	No
Context Length	0K (not applicable for vision model)
Multilingual	No
Quantized*	Yes
Precision*	FP8

*Quantization is specific to the inference provider and the model may be offered with different quantization levels by other providers.
