About FLUX by Black Forest Labs
FLUX is a family of generative models from Black Forest Labs, a German AI research company. As of October 2026 the family includes FLUX 3 Image, FLUX 3 Video, which makes clips up to 20 seconds with audio, FLUX 3 Action, a model for robotics, and FLUX Tools for editing tasks.
You can try the models in the web playground, call them through the API, or download open weights from Hugging Face and GitHub to run yourself. Pricing is usage based, with a cost per generated image that varies by model and resolution, and there are no seat fees. Commercial licences come in tiers for developers, product teams, agencies and enterprises, and open weights carry their own licence terms that you should read before commercial use.
Black Forest Labs lists partners that include Adobe, Microsoft, Mistral and Picsart, so FLUX models often appear inside other products.
Our take
- Good for
- image models you can run yourself or reach through an API, from Black Forest Labs.
- Skip it if
- you want to use its more capable open model commercially without a licence.
- The catch
- licence terms differ by model: the small open model allows commercial use, the larger open one needs a separate licence, and the hosted models come with usage rights, so check the exact model.
