AI NewsFLUX 3: Black Forest Labs' One Model for Video, Audio & Action
FLUX 3, released July 23 2026, is Black Forest Labs' first multimodal model to generate video, audio, and robot actions from one set of weights, built on the Self-Flow method. FLUX 3 Video produces up to 20-second clips with native audio and led human-preference tests over Luma Ray 3.2 (93%) and Runway Gen-4.5 (77%), tying Seedance 2.0 and Gemini Omni Flash at 52%. Access is gated: video and action first, image next, open weights last.
