Black Forest Labs has expanded its visual intelligence model, FLUX 3, to control robots on Audi's production lines. The model, known for generating realistic video, now includes a variant called FLUX-mimic, which can learn new factory tasks in just 30 minutes of demonstration data. This advancement significantly reduces the time required to train robots, which traditionally takes over 30 hours. The integration of FLUX 3 into robotics underscores the increasing role of AI in industrial automation, offering a glimpse into the future of manufacturing.
