Dev API Pricing

FLUX 3 Dev is the faster, lower-cost variant of Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 frontier model, planned for open-weight release. It trades a small amount of peak fidelity for significantly reduced latency and price, making it well suited for rapid iteration, prototyping, and high-volume text-to-image generation.

About Dev

FLUX 3 Dev is the faster, more affordable variant in Black Forest Labs' newly announced FLUX 3 family, positioned similarly to how FLUX.1 Dev and FLUX.2 Dev relate to their Pro counterparts. Black Forest Labs has confirmed that faster, open-weight versions of FLUX 3 will ship later in 2026, continuing the company's commitment to open access alongside its hosted API. FLUX 3 Dev trades a small amount of peak fidelity from the flagship FLUX 3 model for meaningfully lower latency and cost, making it well suited to rapid iteration, prototyping, and high-volume generation workloads where turnaround speed matters more than maximum quality.
