Introduction
FLUX.1 Kontext extends text-to-image generation into a process that accepts both images and text, maintaining relationships among characters and scenes through successive edits. The master identifies a growing emphasis on reference-led and editing-centered models, beyond generation that begins only from a written prompt.

Release and use
The 29 May 2025 FLUX.1 Kontext announcement describes generation and editing from text and images, emphasising character preservation, local changes and context. Starting from text and revising existing images become related operations within one model family. Claimed speed multipliers belong to vendor comparisons and their testing conditions.

Change in creative practice
An image becomes a constraint for subsequent work as well as an outcome. Preservation should record inputs and revisions at each step, distinguishing retained subjects, model-supplied surroundings and human editing intentions.
