Agreed. I find myself alternating between Qwen Image Edit 20B, Kontext, and now Flash 2.5 depending on the situation and style. And of course, Flash isn't open-weights, so if you need more control / less censorship then you're SOL.

Has there been a sufficient indication to conclude these weights will not (now or ever) be released?

[vunderba]

Are any of Google's generative models besides Alphafold open weight? (Veo, Imagen, etc.)

I don't think we can really answer the question if Flash will ever be released.

It’s good but holy shit is it censored! Try generating any kind of scene on a beach…
