Black Forest Labs
FLUX image models; ex-Stable Diffusion founders
Black Forest Labs, founded by the original Stable Diffusion / latent-diffusion researchers, builds the FLUX family of open and pro image-generation models that became a leading alternative to Midjourney and DALL-E in 2024-2025. It powered xAI's Grok image generation and represents Europe's strongest position in generative media models.
