FLUX.2: Frontier Visual Intelligence

💬 HackerNews Buzz: 56 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 Flux 2 vs. Nano Banana • Model performance & quality • Comparison to competitors
💬 "Flux 2 definitely has better prompt adherence than Flux 1.1, but in all cases the image quality was worse/more obviously AI generated.""Flux 2 Pro is on par with Nano Banana, and adding an image as an input pushes the cost of Flux 2 Pro higher than Nano Banana."
