FLUX 3 Released: Black Forest Labs Turns Its Image Model Into a Multimodal Video, Audio and Robotics Engine
Black Forest Labs launched FLUX 3 on July 23, 2026, in Early Access. Unlike FLUX 1 and FLUX 2, which generate images, FLUX 3 is a single multimodal flow model trained jointly on images, video, and audio — and even robot actions. It generates video with native audio up to 20 seconds, and an early version already powers FLUX-mimic, a video-action robotics model deployed at Audi. Here is what FLUX 3 does, what is still preliminary, and what the rollout plan covers.
