Robots Can Now Learn High-Dexterity Factory Tasks From Videos
Flux 3 learns from images, video and audio to predict next actions, as Black Forest Labs expands into physical AI and unstructured factory automation.
- On Thursday, Black Forest Labs, a German artificial intelligence research lab, unveiled FLUX 3, a multimodal model that learns from images, video, and audio to expand the company's focus into physical AI.
- Founded by researchers involved in Stable Diffusion, the $3.25 billion company struck a $140 million deal with Meta Platforms Inc last year and is betting on a single, unified architecture across data types.
- Collaborating with Mimic Robotics, the startup developed FLUX-mimic, a system that learns complex industrial tasks using as little as 30 minutes of robot demonstration data, according to the companies.
- Audi is testing the technology to automate high-dexterity tasks involving flexible materials, aiming to reduce engineering effort compared to traditional, manually programmed workflows, according to Black Forest Labs.
- This development positions the Freiberg-based startup to compete in what Chief Executive Officer Robin Rombach calls "visual intelligence," as the industry shifts toward models understanding cause and effect.

Robots can now learn high-dexterity factory tasks from videos
Swiss physical AI company Mimic Robotics has unveiled FLUX-mimic, a next-generation Video-Action Model developed with Black Forest Labs that enables robots to learn complex, high-dexterity industrial tasks from video demonstrations. The company said the system requires only a fraction of the demonstration data used by existing approaches, making robot training faster and more efficient for factory environments, including deployments at Audi. FLU…
Black Forest Labs launches FLUX 3 capable of generating images and 20-second video with audio — but in limited release to start
Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with today's launch of FLUX 3, a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions.The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate i…
Black Forest Labs Unveils FLUX 3, A New Multimodal Frontier Model For Visual Intelligence
Jointly trained across image, video, audio, and action prediction modalities within a unified architecture, FLUX 3 brings a coherent understanding of the real world to every kind of visual creation-from generative media to robotics and beyond
Black Forest Labs Unveils First Model for Robotics in Shift to Physical AI
Black Forest Labs, a German artificial intelligence research lab, is trialing its first model that can be used in robotics as the company expands beyond photorealistic image generation into the fast-growing field of physical AI.The Flux 3 model learns from images, video and audio and can be adapted to predict what should happen next based on what it sees, Black Forest Labs said in a statement on Thursday. That positions the Freiberg-based startup to compete in what Chief Executive Officer Robin
Stop Guessing, Start Directing: AI Video Control with Visual References
The AI video space has been moving at an almost unsettling pace over the past eighteen months. Nearly every week brings a new model promising Hollywood-grade visuals from a sentence or two. Yet anyone who […] The post Stop Guessing, Start Directing: AI Video Control with Visual References appeared first on Film Daily.
