# FLUX 3: Multimodal AI Model The next-gen AI model combining image, video, and audio now in early access. - **Source:** [Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com)](https://brifing.si/source/13c923cd-6d99-442b-9b8b-1181f4d8cd91) - **Published:** 2026-07-24 - **Topic:** [Data & AI](https://brifing.si/c/data-ai) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/8b19e4bd-2c5a-484b-896a-ff5d1b78381d ## What is FLUX 3? FLUX 3 is a new multimodal foundation AI model that integrates image, video, and audio. Designed to understand the world more holistically, it combines information that individual modalities cannot provide alone. ## Technological Foundation FLUX 3 is built on an approach called Self-Flow, which aims to efficiently align multimodal generation and understanding within the same architecture. This allows the model to learn different data types simultaneously. ## Video Generation FLUX 3 can generate videos up to 20 seconds long with audio. The model can create diverse videos using text, image, or video references, supporting various visual styles and aspect ratios. ## Image Processing FLUX 3 can synthesize and edit images across a wide range. Its ability to handle complex prompts has significantly improved, and it excels in multilingual text generation. ## Action Prediction FLUX 3 extends its world understanding to action prediction. It is being developed for use in physical AI tasks by collaborating with specialized models in robotics. ## Future and Potential FLUX 3 is seen as a significant step towards real-world intelligence. Currently in early access, the model shows promising potential in content creation and physical AI applications. ## Sources covering this story - https://bfl.ai/blog/flux-3 — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
