FLUX 3 Image now available on AI Gateway
Vercel’s AI Gateway now integrates Black Forest Labs’ FLUX 3 Image model, enabling text-to-image generation and image editing without requiring a separate account.
Vercel has integrated Black Forest Labs’ FLUX 3 Image model into its AI Gateway, allowing users to generate images from text prompts or edit existing images using a single API key. The integration eliminates the need for a separate Black Forest Labs account, simplifying access to advanced image generation capabilities. Users can leverage the model’s features directly through Vercel’s platform, streamlining workflows for developers and creators.
FLUX 3 Image supports up to ten reference images for editing tasks such as combining subjects or altering compositions. The model offers five resolution tiers ranging from 768 × 768 pixels up to 4K, with support for square, portrait, and landscape aspect ratios. This flexibility enables users to tailor output to specific use cases, whether for social media, print, or digital applications.
To use FLUX 3 Image, developers must set the AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY environment variable and specify the model ID as bfl/flux-3-image in AI SDK 7 or later. The process involves calling the generateImage function with a text prompt for generation tasks, or passing an image and instruction for editing. Vercel provides examples for both workflows to guide implementation.
FLUX 3 Image is accessible not only through the AI SDK but also via the AI CLI using the same API key and model ID. Users can experiment with the model in Vercel’s model playground or consult the image generation guide for detailed instructions. The integration aims to provide a unified, developer-friendly experience for image generation and editing tasks.
