Black Forest Labs was co-founded by Robin Rombach, Andreas Blattmann, and Patrick Esser, a team whose prior research contributions span Stable Diffusion, Stable Diffusion XL, Stable Video Diffusion, VQGAN, Latent Diffusion, Rectified Flow Transformers, and Adversarial Diffusion Distillation. The company launched and shipped its first product, the FLUX.1 model suite, in August 2024.

Black Forest Labs raised a seed round of $31 million led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from General Catalyst and Mätch VC. The company subsequently announced a $300 million Series B at a $3.25 billion post-money valuation, co-led by Salesforce Ventures and AMP, with additional backing from NVIDIA, Temasek, Bain Capital Ventures, Northzone, Creandum, Earlybird Venture Capital, Canva, Figma Ventures, BroadLight Capital, Air Street Capital, and Visionaries Club.

Black Forest Labs's FLUX models have been adopted broadly across the creative-software industry. Adobe, Canva, Meta, and Microsoft have each built creative experiences on top of them, and the models are available through Azure AI Foundry via a collaboration with Microsoft on Azure training and inference. In 2024, xAI used FLUX technology to power the first image-generation feature inside Grok, though that partnership later ended. A FLUX model was also deployed through Akash Network's decentralized GPU marketplace for a Razer campaign. The company's advisory board includes Michael Ovitz, Matthias Bethge, and Martin Scorsese.
