Black Forest Labs
Black Forest Labs appears in Open Source Wins, AGI Is Here, and Scorsese’s AI Toolkit with CEOs of Cerebras & Black Forest Labs through CEO Robin Rombach. Rombach describes the company as based in Freiburg in the Black Forest and San Francisco, built by people who worked on Stable Diffusion and latent diffusion.
The source presents Black Forest Labs as more than an image-model company. Its known open-source model family is Flux, but Rombach frames the broader direction as multimodal visual models trained on images, video, and audio, then extended toward action prediction, robotics, and world models.
The episode also makes Black Forest Labs part of the creative-workflow and rights branch. Martin Scorsese used the company’s tools for visual ideation, and Rombach says the company works with some IP holders on models that can enable protected or licensed creative work.
