Today, we’re sharing results from our 3rd-party evaluation of emerging risks. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our mitigations before, during, and after each release, with FLUX models having >10x fewer vulnerabilities than other popular open-weight AI models. Black Forest Labs is pushing the frontier of visual intelligence. Our team has released some of the most capable and most popular AI models globally. As we grow, we're taking steps to combat the misuse of AI—and to show that high performance, open innovation, and sensible safeguards go hand in hand. Link to post in comments.

FLUX.2 [flex] is now 3x to 4x faster ⚡ Working with Black Forest Labs, we accelerated one of their top-ranked image model to ~5s per image generation and ~10s per image edit, making it the de facto standard for typography-heavy image generation. The results: - On one H200: ~4x faster - On four H200s: ~3x faster - Image generation in 13s/5s on single/multi-gpu - Image edits from in 28s/10s on single/multi-gpu - Leads the Pareto front for speed vs quality Perfect for designers and teams who need fast iteration on typography-heavy visuals without compromising quality. This is what AI efficiency looks like when done right: efficiency without quality loss! Read our blog: https://lnkd.in/eXekgRBZ Try the official accelerated endpoint: https://lnkd.in/dKmc3uEq

Our best model for text and typography, FLUX.2 [flex], is now up to 3x faster. Use it to rapidly experiment with product UIs, packaging design, custom brand assets, and making presentations more beautiful. We worked with Pruna AI to make it up to 3x faster. Link to try it in the comments.
