Summary
FLUX 3 is a new multimodal foundation model that is currently operational on robots. The collaboration with mimic robotics has led to the development of FLUX-mimic, enhancing video-action model capabilities through their expertise in robot learning and deployment.
Key Takeaways
- FLUX 3 is a multimodal foundation model capable of generating audio-visual content and predicting actions, developed in collaboration with mimic robotics for use in robots deployed at Audi.
- Video prediction accounts for over 95% of the compute costs in training FLUX 3, requiring the model to learn complex physical interactions such as contact, motion, and cause and effect.
- Incorporating action prediction into FLUX 3's training initially reduced video generation quality by up to 10%, but the model regained its performance after 3500 steps while also learning to predict actions.
- FLUX 3 operates on a single backbone that supports both video generation and action prediction, allowing for a unified approach to content creation and Physical AI applications.
