FLUX 3 Image adds layout boxes and local edits; commercial weights need a license
Place boxes for people or objects before generating or editing an image. FLUX 3 Image supports up to ten reference images, with a web interface and API; commercial weights require a separate license.
Black Forest Labs adds layout boxes to generation and editing in FLUX 3 Image. Users mark element positions on a canvas, describe their content and connect the image through an overall scene prompt. An agent can also plan a layout that the user then moves or changes. The model supports up to ten reference images; the company reports native high-resolution output and multiple targeted edits to an existing image.
The company says pixels outside selected boxes can remain unchanged during edits. Boxes offer a direct way to specify layouts, collages and character positions; pixel preservation remains a vendor claim that this site has not independently tested.
Access includes drawing boxes in Playground and submitting layout prompts through the BFL API. Companies seeking to fine-tune or deploy on their own infrastructure must obtain a commercial weights license; the announcement does not provide publicly open-source weights for commercial deployment.
