Black Forest Labs
An AI image generation company known for its Flux series of models, which employ flow matching technology to achieve efficient and low-cost image generation.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
FLUX.1-schnell is a fast distilled version of the FLUX series released by Black Forest Labs, typically generating images in 1–4 steps, under the Apache 2.0 license.
The FLUX.2 series was launched by Black Forest Labs; the klein version has about 9B parameters and uses a rectified flow and MMDiT architecture.
In July 2025, European business leaders published an open letter requesting that the European Commission pause the EU AI Act for two years; signatories included Arthur Mensch, CEO of France's Mistral AI, and Robin Rombach, CEO of Germany's Black Forest Labs.
The FLUX.2 [dev] version is a 32B parameter model capable of outputting 4-megapixel images; the [klein] 4B version can perform inference on consumer-grade hardware such as the NVIDIA RTX 3090.
FLUX.1 can be accessed either via Black Forest Labs' hosted API or deployed locally.
FLUX.1 and Kontext, two models released by Black Forest Labs, use flow matching instead of traditional diffusion models for image generation and editing.
FLUX is a series of image generation models launched by Black Forest Labs, known for its text rendering and detail representation.
Flux 2 Klein is a distilled variant of the Flux series released by Black Forest Labs that accelerates static image generation through a flow matching framework and reduced sampling steps.
When BFL released Flux 3 Action, it simultaneously released the base version of the model.
Black Forest Labs has launched Flux 3 Action, an action world model with 7 billion parameters.
