Unfortunately, nobody wants to read the report, but what they are really after is to download the open-weight model.
So they can take it and run with it. (No contributing back either).

"FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]
Open-weights, distilled variant of Kontext, our most advanced generative image editing model. Coming soon" is what they say on https://bfl.ai/models/flux-kontext
Distilled is a real downer, but I guess those AI startup CEOs still gotta eat.
The open community has a done a lot with the open-weights distilled models from Black Forest Labs already, one of the more radical being Chroma: https://huggingface.co/lodestones/Chroma
I don't doubt that people can do nice things with them. But imagine what they could do with the actual model.
I agree that gooning crew drives a lot of open model downloads.
On HN, generally, people are more into technical discussion and/or productizing this stuff. Here, it seems declasse to mention the gooner angle, it's usually euphemized as intense reactions about refusing to download it involving the words "censor"
