FLUX 3

What it does

FLUX 3 is a multimodal foundation-model family from Black Forest Labs, trained jointly on images, video and audio. The first offering, FLUX 3 Video, is in early access and generates video with native audio from text and visual references. The announcement describes clips of up to 20 seconds and support for workflows using reference images, keyframes and source video or audio. Its Image, Action and Dev variants are announced separately and are not confirmed generally available.

FLUX 3 Video is in early access. Black Forest Labs describes multilingual dialogue, reference-driven generation and chaining clips into longer sequences among its video capabilities. The company has also announced Image, Action and an open-weight Dev backbone, but these are planned releases and should not be treated as currently available options. Its early evaluations are preliminary, and access depends on the relevant release and approval process.

It suits developers, product teams and enterprises evaluating video generation for their products and production work. Start by checking the current early-access process and which FLUX 3 capabilities are enabled for your account. The general Black Forest Labs dashboard and pricing pages also cover other models; an API key alone does not establish FLUX 3 access. Confirm availability, usage charges and licensing before planning a deployment.

What it can do

• Text-to-video and image-to-video generation with native audio, up to 20 seconds per clip
• Video-to-video and video-audio continuation from reference clips
• Keyframe-to-video and chaining clips into longer multi-shot sequences
• Image generation and editing with multilingual text rendering — announced, not generally available
• Action prediction for robotics via partners such as mimic — announced, not generally available

Example workflows

Short video clip with audio

For approved early-access users. Input: a text prompt and optional reference image. Steps: submit to the FLUX 3 Video API, choose style and aspect ratio, review the result. Output: a clip up to 20 seconds with generated speech, effects and ambience.

Multi-shot sequence with a consistent character

For approved early-access users. Input: a character reference image and scene descriptions. Steps: generate individual clips using the reference, then chain them. Output: a longer multi-shot sequence.

Before you choose

• Developers must have rights to submitted inputs, including people's likenesses and audio, and bind end users to compatible terms
• Open weights and enterprise use need a separate licence or sales contact
