# Black Forest Labs Launches FLUX 3, Revolutionizing Image and Video Generation FLUX 3 can generate images, audio-video clips, and robotic vision with a single prompt. - **Source:** [VentureBeat](https://venturebeat.com) - **Published:** 2026-07-23 - **Topic:** [Data & AI](https://brifing.si/c/data-ai) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/dbfaef3f-9751-47f7-9589-08cc3028c999 ## Innovative Features of FLUX 3 Black Forest Labs is ushering in a new era with FLUX 3, capable of generating images and audio-video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt. The model also extends to robotic vision and actions. ## Multimodal Training FLUX 3 is trained across multiple modalities—image, video, and audio—rather than separately. This approach unifies different applications under what the company calls 'visual intelligence.' ## Early Access Program FLUX 3 Video and FLUX 3 Action are now part of an early access program. While applications are open, approval from Black Forest Labs is required. General availability is expected in the coming weeks. ## Open Source and Downloadable Weights FLUX 3 is not launching with downloadable weights or an open-source license. However, the company has announced that faster and open-weight versions will arrive later this year. ## Comparative Test Results FLUX 3 outperformed competitors in 10-second text-to-video tests, scoring 93% against Luma Ray 3.2 and 77% against Runway Gen-4.5. ## Comparison with Google's Gemini Omni Flash FLUX 3 showed similar performance to Google's Gemini Omni Flash. However, Omni Flash does not allow editing of uploaded videos in Europe, which could be an advantage for FLUX 3. ## Pricing and SLA Details Pricing and service-level agreements for FLUX 3 have not yet been disclosed, making it difficult for enterprise customers to calculate total cost of ownership. ## Significance of FLUX 3 Dev FLUX 3 Dev will offer open-weight access to a multimodal backbone, enabling content creation and action prediction. This represents a broader commitment than previous FLUX releases. ## Waiting Period for Developers Developers will have to wait for a locally deployable version of FLUX 3. This delay may be disappointing given the role open weights have played in FLUX's adoption so far. ## Enterprise Adoption of FLUX 3 While FLUX 3 scores higher than competitors, missing pricing and benchmarking details may slow enterprise adoption. Full benchmark results are expected to be published later. ## Importance for the European Market FLUX 3 allows editing of uploaded videos in Europe, giving it an edge over Google's Omni Flash. This could be a significant advantage for European enterprise customers. ## The Future of FLUX 3 FLUX 3 could be a major step forward in creative generation and robotics. However, the disclosure of pricing and benchmarking details will be crucial for accelerating enterprise adoption. ## Sources covering this story - https://venturebeat.com/technology/black-forest-labs-launches-flux-3-capable-of-generating-images-and-20-second-video-with-audio-but-in-limited-release-to-start — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
