[AINews] Black Forest Labs FLUX 3 - Multimodal Flow Models that beat Seedance 2.0, Gemini Omni and Grok Imagine, and FLUX-mimic video-action robotics model
A HUGE win for BFL!
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 image, video and audio models behind a common inte

New study confirms 2024 "momentum flux theory" on how angular momentum of water flows drives rotation.
OpenAI's big launch — and bigger departure
GPT-5.6 impresses the critics, but Fidji Simo's exit leaves OpenAI's focus — and its org chart — in flux. PLUS: Meta plays catch-up, and the "AI 2027" authors present "AI 2040."

Audi’s 1,001 PS Nuvolari is its fastest car ever, and it’s not electric
Audi has revealed the Nuvolari, the fastest and most powerful production vehicle in its history. The hybrid supercar produces 1,001 PS (736 kW) from a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo paired with three axial flux electric motors. Only 499 will be built, starting at €600,000. The V8 alone delivers 800 PS and revs to 10,000 rpm, territory […] This story continues at The Next Web
Adafruit Pauses Blog After Demand Letter From Flux.ai's Lawyers
Longtime Slashdot reader Matt_Bennett shares a blog post from Adafruit: Adafruit received at 10:38 p.m. ET on May 22, 2026 a letter from former FBI chief of staff, Jonathan F. Lenzner, and partner at Fenwick & West LLP, counsel for Flux, demanding, among other things, that Adafruit refrain from publishing an article addressing what the letter characterizes as false and potentially defamatory claims about Flux, including statements about Flux's intellectual property, commercial traction and user
Black Forest Labs' new Self-Flow technique makes training multimodal AI models 2.8x more efficient
To create coherent images or videos, generative AI diffusion models like Stable Diffusion or FLUX have typically relied on external "teachers"—frozen encoders like CLIP or DINOv2—to provide the semantic understanding they couldn't learn on their own. But this reliance has come at a cost: a "bottleneck" where scaling up the model no longer yields better results because the external teacher has hit its limit. Today, German AI startup Black Forest Labs (maker of the FLUX series of AI image models)
Enterprise finance platform Stacks raises €19 million to streamline reporting and month-end workflows
Stacks, a British agentic platform for enterprise finance, has raised a €19 million ($23 million) Series A – introducing their new reporting and analysis suite, at the core of which sits their new offering; AI Flux Analysis. The round was led by Lightspeed, with EQT Ventures, General Catalyst, and S16VC doubling down. The round comes […] The post Enterprise finance platform Stacks raises €19 million to streamline reporting and month-end workflows appeared first on EU-Startups .
