According to TheRundownAI, Scorsese’s FLUX storyboard demo ignited industry criticism over training data ethics and artist livelihoods, per BBC.

According to TheRundownAI, Martin Scorsese used Black Forest Labs’ FLUX to storyboard one scene in preproduction, avoiding generated actors, sets, or footage.

According to DeepLearning.AI, Germany’s Black Forest Labs has launched three advanced text-to-image AI models—FLUX.1 Kontext max, pro, and dev—that are engineered to maintain character consistency while allowing for changes in backgrounds, poses, or artistic styles. These models leverage a combination of convolutional image encoder-decoder architecture and transformer training, targeting content creators, digital artists, and businesses in need of automated, high-quality character imagery across diverse visual scenarios. This innovation addresses a major challenge in generative AI by enabling scalable, brand-consistent visual asset creation, and opens up new opportunities in sectors such as gaming, marketing, and e-commerce, where consistent character depiction is crucial (source: DeepLearning.AI, June 13, 2025).
