Black Forest AI (Black Forest Labs) is a cutting-edge laboratory focused on generative AI, with core products including the FLUX-series image generation models and the Black Box AI programming assistant, aiming to drive innovation in visual intelligence and programming efficiency through open models and commercial services.
The FLUX series mainly includes two generations: FLUX.2 and FLUX.1. FLUX.2 offers versions such as Pro, Flex, and Dev, providing different options from closed-source commercial licensing to open-source licensing. FLUX.1 includes Pro, a development edition, and the lightweight Schnell version.
Users can try it via the official Playground online, or access API services from partners such as Replicate, fal.ai. Developers can also download open-source weights from Hugging Face and integrate them into local workflows like ComfyUI.
Cloud-based generation with FLUX models is cost-effective. For example, FLUX Pro can generate about 33 images for around $1, and FLUX Schnell about 333 images for around $1; actual costs vary by version and resolution.
The Black Box AI programming assistant provides code generation and auto-completion, comment generation, test-case writing, and integrates real-time web search to provide technical information, along with plugins for VSCode and JetBrains for easy IDE integration.
Running the open-source FLUX models requires a relatively high-end setup, such as about 23GB for the model size and nearly 24GB of GPU memory; RTX 4090 or higher is recommended. Cloud API services don't require local hardware.
Flux AI绘影 is an AI image and video generation platform developed by the founding team of Stable Diffusion, integrating advanced models such as Flux.1 Kontext to help creators efficiently generate images, perform precise editing, and produce videos.
Flux AI is a free online platform for AI image and video generation, built on advanced text-to-image models to help users quickly create high-quality, business-grade visuals.
