Flux.1 Kontext Dev Open Source Version Released with Native ComfyUI Support
Black Forest Labs has officially released the Flux.1 Kontext Dev open source version, a diffusion transformer model with 12 billion parameters. As the open-source sibling of the Flux.1 Kontext commercial version, it offers the same core capabilities, including character consistency maintenance, local editing, and style reference. Notably, ComfyUI has provided native support from day one.
