Interview: Black-Forest-Labs-Gründer: „Ein Wettlauf mit der größten KI-Firma der Welt ist einschüchternd“

In Tübingen, a hub for artificial intelligence (AI) research, ten young scientists founded the start-up Black Forest Labs (BFL). As one of the founders, Axel Sauer, a 32-year-old researcher, discussed the company's recent achievements and future plans at an interview at the Cybervalley in Baden-Württemberg. BFL, valued at 3.25 billion dollars, has developed cutting-edge AI technology that goes beyond mere image generation.

The company's latest model, Flux 3, can create not only photorealistic images but also videos. Sauer, who is proud of the company's success, shared his excitement over the advancements. However, the researcher also acknowledges the intense competition with the world's leading tech giants and the challenge of merging top-notch research with a sustainable business model.
