AI image model · 2025–2026
Flux 2 (FLUX.2) is the 4MP, production-grade AI image model family from Black Forest Labs – built for realistic faces, clean hands, sharp details and legible typography. Inside Stratboost, Flux-style models are used to create campaign visuals, ads, thumbnails and Signature Models scenes that look like brand assets, not generic AI art.
You tell Stratboost what you need – product shots, avatars, thumbnails, ad creatives – and your brand brain keeps the look consistent while Flux 2-level image models handle the pixels behind the scenes.

Questions

Stratboost is designed to connect to a range of pro-grade image models, including Flux-level engines, via APIs. The exact models in use can evolve over time as providers release new versions. The goal is to protect your workflows and brand brain while upgrading the engines behind them.
Yes. You can bring in your own product shots, brand elements and avatar references, then use Stratboost tools to generate new variations, scenes and composites while respecting your original assets and rights.
Stratboost is built for legitimate brand work. You’re expected to use assets and references you own or have the rights to, and to avoid infringing on logos, characters or individuals you don’t control. We encourage clear AI labelling and responsible, non-deceptive use of generated visuals.
As new image engines become available, Stratboost’s goal is to adopt them behind the scenes where they’re a good fit, without forcing you to rebuild content, prompts or workflows. Your brand brain and system stay consistent even as the underlying models evolve.
