Black Forest Labs made the video generation part of its FLUX 3 model generally available through its own programming interface and selected partners. The model produces clips of up to 20 seconds with sound and dialogue created alongside the picture, starting from text, a still image, keyframes or a few seconds of existing footage. A cheaper draft mode returns a quick preview before a full-quality render. Image generation and an open-weight version are still to come.
