Black Forest Labs
Black Forest Labs ingests prompts or datasets to generate images, video and audio using the FLUX model family. You can call hosted APIs or download open model weights to self-host. Outputs include generated media and models that can be fine-tuned or run locally under the vendor’s licensing terms.
The site documents a pay-as-you-go video rate ($ 0.17 / second) and licensed package tiers (Builder, Platform, Professional, Enterprise, Synthetic Data) where enterprise and some tiers require purchase or contacting sales; numeric recurring plan prices are not listed for those licensed packages.Is Black Forest Labs right for you?
