Black Forest Labs’ FLUX 3 moves from video generation into robot control

Nathan Benaich points readers to an Air Street Press write-up on FLUX 3, the new multimodal backbone from Black Forest Labs.
The article says the same model that can generate 20-second videos with audio is being tested for industrial manipulation at Audi Production Lab. A robot arm using Mimic’s control stack corrected failed grasps and completed the task, suggesting the scene-prediction backbone may also support real-world robot control.
