There are three models, two are available now, and a third open-weight version is coming soon:
FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]: State-of-the-art performance for image editing. High-quality outputs, great prompt following, and consistent results.
FLUX.1 Kontext [max]: A premium model that brings maximum performance, improved prompt adherence, and high-quality typography generation without compromise on speed.
Coming soon: FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]: An open-weight, guidance-distilled version of Kontext.
We’re so excited with what Kontext can do, we’ve created a collection of models on Replicate to give you ideas:
the 8 most important model types and what they’re actually built to do: ⬇️
1. 𝗟𝗟𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Your ChatGPT-style model. Handles text, predicts the next token, and powers 90% of GenAI hype. 🛠 Use case: content, code, convos.
2. 𝗟𝗖𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Lightweight, diffusion-style models. Fast, quantized, and efficient — perfect for real-time or edge deployment. 🛠 Use case: image generation, optimized inference.
3. 𝗟𝗔𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Where LLM meets planning. Adds memory, task breakdown, and intent recognition. 🛠 Use case: AI agents, tool use, step-by-step execution.
4. 𝗠𝗼𝗘 – 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 → One model, many minds. Routes input to the right “expert” model slice — dynamic, scalable, efficient. 🛠 Use case: high-performance model serving at low compute cost.
5. 𝗩𝗟𝗠 – 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Multimodal beast. Combines image + text understanding via shared embeddings. 🛠 Use case: Gemini, GPT-4o, search, robotics, assistive tech.
6. 𝗦𝗟𝗠 – 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Tiny but mighty. Designed for edge use, fast inference, low latency, efficient memory. 🛠 Use case: on-device AI, chatbots, privacy-first GenAI.
7. 𝗠𝗟𝗠 – 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → The OG foundation model. Predicts masked tokens using bidirectional context. 🛠 Use case: search, classification, embeddings, pretraining.
8. 𝗦𝗔𝗠 – 𝗦𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 → Vision model for pixel-level understanding. Highlights, segments, and understands *everything* in an image. 🛠 Use case: medical imaging, AR, robotics, visual agents.
FLUX (or FLUX. 1) is a suite of text-to-image models from Black Forest Labs, a new company set up by some of the AI researchers behind innovations and models like VQGAN, Stable Diffusion, Latent Diffusion, and Adversarial Diffusion Distillation
The law protects new works from unauthorized copying while allowing artists free rein on older works.
The Copyright Act of 1909 used to govern copyrights. Under that law, a creator had a copyright on his creation for 28 years from “publication,” which could then be renewed for another 28 years. Thus, after 56 years, a work would enter the public domain.
However, the Congress passed the Copyright Act of 1976, extending copyright protection for works made for hire to 75 years from publication.
Then again, in 1998, Congress passed the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (derided as the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” by some observers due to the Walt Disney Company’s intensive lobbying efforts), which added another twenty years to the term of copyright.
it is because Snow White was in the public domain that it was chosen to be Disney’s first animated feature.
Ironically, much of Disney’s legislative lobbying over the last several decades has been focused on preventing this same opportunity to other artists and filmmakers.
The battle in the coming years will be to prevent further extensions to copyright law that benefit corporations at the expense of creators and society as a whole.
