fal says FLUX 3 Max achieved 1,139 Elo on a third-party benchmark, entering the top tier of frontier image-to-video models based on independent human preference evaluations. The model was launched through a collaboration between fal Research and bfl_ai. Earlier reports said that through dedicated post-training and inference optimization, the model tied for first place in image-to-video quality on an independent third-party benchmark, generating a 10-second 720/768p video in about 12 seconds; other reports said it scored 1,139 on the Artificial Analysis image-to-video index, with generation speeds up to 22 times faster than Seedance 2.5. fal Research says it is continuing to post-train the model and will subsequently improve quality and performance.

fal claims FLUX 3 Max scored 1,139 Elo in third-party evaluations, ranking in the top tier of image-to-video
fal states that FLUX 3 Max achieved 1,139 Elo in third-party benchmark evaluations, entering the top tier of frontier image-to-video models based on independent human preference assessments. The model was launched through a collaboration between fal Research and bfl_ai; earlier introductions said its image-to-video quality tied for first in independent third-party benchmarks, and it can generate 10-second, 720/768p videos in about 12 seconds. fal Research says it is continuing post-training of the model and will subsequently improve quality and performance.

fal Research and Black Forest Labs Launch the FLUX 3 Max Video Model
fal Research, in partnership with Black Forest Labs, has launched the video model FLUX 3 Max. Through dedicated post-training and inference optimization, it is tied for first place in image-to-video quality on independent third-party benchmarks, generating a 10-second 720/768p video in about 12 seconds. fal says its latency is only a fraction of that of competing frontier models, and the model will be 75% off for the next three weeks.
