The frontiers of pixel generation

At RAAIS 2025, Andreas Blattmann, co-founder of Black Forest Labs, shared a deep dive into FLUX.1 Kontext, the startup’s newly released generative model for controllable image and video generation. The talk gave a rare look under the hood of one of the most technically ambitious and commercially relevant AI-first companies to emerge in Europe.Andreas is no stranger to the field. He was among the original researchers behind Stable Diffusion and later worked with Stability AI before striking out on his own to build the model he always wanted: a unified, fast, and open infrastructure for pixel generation, whether from text, images, or combinations of the two.
