OK. Now I’m Really Scared… FLUX 2 Just Made Reality Feel Wrong

FLUX 2 just arrived and it makes AI images feel wrong in the best way. Black Forest Labs rebuilt the whole stack with a new Mistral-based vision-language model, rectified flow transformer, and custom VAE, so you get multi-reference consistency across up to 10 images, 4MP renders, and way better text and layout control than older open models. At the same time, Tencent dropped HunyuanVideo 1.5, an 8.3B open video model that runs on consumer GPUs and still delivers smooth motion, strong instruction following, and 480p–720p clips upscaled cleanly to 1080p. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: [email protected] ✉ General Inquiries: [email protected] 🧠 What You’ll See: • How FLUX 2 keeps characters, style, and text consistent across shots • Why the new architecture makes open models feel like closed production tools • How HunyuanVideo 1.5 hits smooth, cinematic motion on consumer GPUs • What this means for open-source visual AI vs big commercial models 🚨 Why It Matters: Image and video AI are leaving the “toy” phase. FLUX 2 and HunyuanVideo 1.5 show how fast open models are catching up to — and sometimes passing — closed systems for real production work. ──────────────────────── Sources ──────────────────────── FLUX 2 official blog https://bfl.ai/blog/flux-2 FLUX.2-dev open-weight model card https://huggingface.co/black-forest-l...
