FLUX 3 Max Launches with Top-Tier Video Performance and Lower Cost
fal has released FLUX 3 Max, a post-trained version of FLUX 3 that ranks #2 on AA-Video-I2V v1.1 (statistically tied for first) and #4 on AA-Video-T2V v2.1. The model generates 5-20 second, 720p videos with native audio from text or images, achieving high speed (under 12 seconds for a 10-second clip). It offers significantly lower pricing than the base FLUX 3 ($10.20/min vs $17.40/min) and excels in physics simulation and marketing use cases.

FLUX 3 Max from @fal, a post-trained version of @bfl_ai's FLUX 3, ranks #2 on AA-Video-I2V v1.1 (statistically tied for #1) and #4 on AA-Video-T2V v2.1, ahead of the base FLUX 3 on both
FLUX 3 Max generates 5 to 20 second, 720p videos with native audio from a text prompt or a starting image. fal reports that it generates a 10 second video in under 12 seconds. We benchmarked it at the high reasoning level.
FLUX 3 Max ranks #2 on AA-Video-I2V v1.1 and #4 on AA-Video-T2V v2.1, statistically tied with Dreamina Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3 (768p) on both, and ahead of its base model FLUX 3. On AA-Video-T2V v2.1, it scores highest of any model in the Physics capability, and in the Marketing & Advertising and Live-Action Film use cases.
fal prices FLUX 3 Max at 17.40/min for FLUX 3, and 5.40/min for MiniMax H3 (768p) on Image to Video. For the first three weeks of launch, fal is offering 75% off, at $2.55/min.
Congratulations to @fal on the release!
