Black Forest Labs has expanded its generative AI offerings with the release of the FLUX 3 model family. Initially, the company launched FLUX 3 Image Klein, a 5.6-billion-parameter open-weights model designed for text-to-image generation and image editing. This model supports up to 10 image references, bounding-box layout control, and resolutions up to 4K. It is optimized for consumer hardware, with quantized versions capable of running on GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM.

Following the image model release, Black Forest Labs and fal.ai introduced FLUX 3 Max, a video generation model. This model produces 10-second clips in approximately 12.45 seconds and utilizes post-training techniques to enhance visual quality and prompt adherence. The video model supports various input modes, including text, image, and keyframe-based control.
