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'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.

It was literally in the announcement from Black Forest Labs:

"Open Weights version of FLUX 3 Image is launching in the coming weeks."

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

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