Black Forest Labs, a German artificial intelligence research lab, is testing its first model that can be used in robots, expanding the business from photo-level image generation to the field of physical AI. The company's Flux 3 model can learn from images, video, and audio, and predict next steps based on what it sees, enabling it to compete in the field of “visual intelligence.” Black Forest Labs has collaborated with Mimic Robotics AG to develop an action model called Flux-Mimic and is testing it with manufacturing partners, including Audi.
