FLUX.1: Established benchmark for prompt accuracy and photorealistic quality
Flux 2: Adds multi-reference consistency, enhanced text rendering, 4MP resolution, and improved prompt following for complex compositions
Flux 2 vs. competitors:
Black Forest Labs' internal evaluations show FLUX.2 [dev] achieved a 66.6% win rate in text-to-image generation compared to leading open-weight alternatives, with substantial performance leads in single-reference editing (59.8% win rate) and multi-reference editing tasks. The model demonstrates better grounding in physical attributes like lighting and material behavior, reducing inconsistencies in photoreal scenes.
You can test Flux 2 alongside models like Ideogram, Stable Diffusion, and others on VEED's AI playground to compare quality, consistency, and photorealism firsthand.
