FLUX 3 is our new multimodal foundation model. It jointly learns from images, videos, and audio within a unified architecture, because what it needs to learn is not any one of these elements in isolation. Instead, a model must learn a representation of the world: how objects hold together, how things move, and how events sound.
No single modality provides a complete description. Each is a projection of the same underlying reality, captured by different sensors, each of which loses some information in the process. Images capture spatial structures and relationships at a specific point in time. Videos restore the dimension of time and reveal temporal dynamics and physical laws. Audio reveals causal relationships between mechanical phenomena and acoustics that vision alone cannot detect. Language links these perceptions to goals, abstractions, and instructions.
Learn from one and you get a good model of that projection. Learn from all of them at once and their mutual constraints tell you more: the sound has to match the impact, the motion has to obey the mass, the future has to follow from the past. The modalities stop being separate and start being evidence about one underlying reality.
