One interesting feature that gets enabled with open weights is adding new capabilities (tasks) to these editing models. They generalize quite well with low samples (30 ish). We talk about it here https://blog.fal.ai/announcing-flux-1-kontext-dev-inference-...
Here's hoping the distilled [Dev] model can hold up reasonably well against the larger pro/max models which in a lot of ways can completely replace the relatively old-school inpainting techniques of Stable Diffusion.
Some before/after experiments with editing images using Kontext:

I was at a hackathon with this thing last weekend in SF at bfl. It's a pretty good system.
this intent in licenses might lowkey prescreens who even gets to build. this creates a soft perimeter = technically open, operationally narrow. it's shaping who can even try, plus cuts out misuse but also cuts out maybe-use. over time, that subtly redefines what counts as valid experimentation
The new non-commercial license is a bit of a doozy: https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Kontext-dev/...
Neat, I plan to check this out.
I really want an AI to jam with on a canvas rather than to just have it generate the final results.
I have been hoping someone would pick up on the time series forecasting innovations in the LLM space, combine them with data from e.g. the Google quick draw dataset, and turn that into a real-time “painting partner” experience, kind of like chatting with an LLM through brush strokes.
What amount of VRAM is this supposed to work with?
License is a major bummer.
Yo guys, I think I might’ve found a chill and straightforward way to openly generate NSFW stuff using flux1-context on ComfyUI.
This is awesome, and kudos to BFL for releasing the weights. The financial sustainability of open-source is hard to get right, and giving academics this model for free while charging a reasonable licensing fee for startups is something I think makes sense if it allows BFL and others to continue releasing open-weight models.
