About Black Forest Labs
Founded 2024 ยท Freiburg, Germany
Black Forest Labs was founded in August 2024 by Robin Rombach, Patrick Esser, Andreas Blattmann and Dominik Lorenz, the team that created Latent Diffusion at LMU Munich and Stable Diffusion at Stability AI. Headquartered in Freiburg, Germany, the lab raised a $31M seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz and has since released the FLUX.1 family and FLUX 1.1 series. FLUX 1.1 [pro] (released October 2024) and the higher-resolution FLUX 1.1 [pro] Ultra (released November 2024) are the flagship commercial tiers, available only through the Black Forest Labs API and partner platforms such as Replicate, fal.ai and Together AI.
