We raised a $300M Series B at a $3.25B valuation We started Black Forest Labs last year to build frontier models for pixels. Systems that understand intent and create what cameras can’t capture. Tools that make imagination real, whether you're a global enterprise or an independent artist. Today, millions of people are already making magic with FLUX: • Our open models are the most popular image models on Hugging Face. • Our enterprise models are powering production workflows across fal.ai, Replicate, and TogetherAI. • Partners including Adobe, Canva, Meta, and Microsoft are building on our models to create new visual experiences. With this round we welcome new investor Salesforce Ventures alongside Anjney Midha (AMP) as co-leads, while deepening our work with Andreessen Horowitz, NVIDIA, Northzone, Creandum, Earlybird Venture Capital BroadLight Capital and General Catalyst. The investment will accelerate our research and development, as we continue to push the frontier of visual intelligence.

Robin and the Black Forest Labs team built one of the most globally downloaded open source AI models from their hometown in Germany. After his PhD, Robin could have gone anywhere, but he chose Freiburg (the sunniest town in Germany, for what it's worth) to build with focus over hype. They recently released their next model family, Flux 2, capable of image synthesis, text-based editing, and for the first time, multi-reference image editing. This allows users to combine images from multiple sources and modify them with a single text prompt. Alexandre caught up with Robin at Slush to talk about training runs at 2am, why unconventional choices matter, and building outside the noise.
