    I think we are all waiting for the open weights or local model releases.

      Has that been announced?

      The website mentions:

      > FLUX 3 Image is available under a commercial weights license for companies running image generation at scale. Fine-tune and deploy it on your own infrastructure. Reach out to us to learn more.

      I guess the open ones would be non-commercial?

        If it is anything like the previous release Flux.2 [dev] - then yeah it'll probably be a non-commercial license.

          There&#x27;s been an increasing trend of previously-open-weight models going closed-source once they reach a certain size (and size is proportional to capital investment). That the latest release will be open-weight is not necessarily a given just because the previous one was.

            What trend? BFL was always non commercial. The &quot;only&quot; trend would be qwen image not being apache anymore.

            It was literally in the announcement from Black Forest Labs:

            &quot;Open Weights version of FLUX 3 Image is launching in the coming weeks.&quot;

              Okay, thank you for posting that. When I commented, the only things I saw in this thread were people saying it would be open &quot;because the previous ones were&quot;. My point was that that was insufficient without Black Forest Labs giving a more direct answer.
