The latest AI news and updates of Black Forest Labs — Frontier AI lab building visual intelligence and the open-weight FLUX image generation models. Covering Black Forest Labs's latest launches and product updates from the past 90 days.
Black Forest LabsSep 10Black Forest Labs launched FLUX Video Edit, a text-prompt tool for modifying existing video clips. The API supports adding, removing, or replacing objects, backgrounds, text, and dialogue with lip sync while preserving source length and framing. It processes 10-second clips in about 50 seconds at $0.03 per second of output, with 720p resolution.
Black Forest LabsAug 22Black Forest Labs released FLUX Video Upscale, a tool that regenerates video at up to 4K resolution with sharper faces and cleaner textures. It offers two modes: Precise for consistent identity and Creative for enhanced detail. The tool supports 1.5x, 2x, and 3x upscale factors and is available now through the Black Forest Labs API and playground.
Black Forest LabsAug 11Black Forest Labs reports that its FLUX 3 Video model reached the second spot on the Video Arena leaderboard with 1496 points. To mark the milestone, the company offers free access to the model in its playground until Sunday, August 16, at 11:59 PM PT. Upcoming updates include 4K resolution, video editing, and support for multiple reference inputs.
Black Forest LabsAug 4Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3 Video, a multimodal model generating 20-second clips at 1080p with native audio. The model supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and multilingual dialogue with lip-syncing. It introduces a Draft mode for fast previews at $0.06 per second, with full-quality rendering available at $0.17 per second. 2K, 4K, and open-weight versions are planned for future release.
Black Forest LabsJul 23Black Forest Labs introduced FLUX 3, a unified multimodal model trained across image, video, audio, and action prediction. FLUX 3 Video is now available in early access, generating 20-second clips with native audio at 720p. Additionally, the model’s action-prediction capability is already deployed on robots through a partnership with mimic robotics, currently tested at Audi.
Black Forest LabsJul 5Black Forest Labs launched a Dev Playground for testing FLUX models. The interface enables side-by-side comparison of model outputs using identical prompts, direct adjustment of API parameters, and evaluation of quality, latency, and cost. The platform launches with the latest FLUX models and will receive ongoing updates as new versions become available.
