About Black Forest Labs (FLUX)

AIWatch Data: Black Forest Labs (FLUX)'s reported uptime is 100.00%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it has maintained a clean record with zero incidents.

Black Forest Labs develops the FLUX family of image-generation models (FLUX.1, FLUX.1 Kontext, FLUX.2) and provides API access at api.bfl.ai for text-to-image generation, editing, and finetuning. FLUX is widely used in creative tools, design apps, and content-generation pipelines.

AIWatch Insight: Black Forest Labs publishes per-model-tier status (FLUX.1 [pro]/[dev], Kontext, FLUX.2) on its Atlassian status page. AIWatch scopes the badge to the developer-facing API surface and the overall image-generation group, so a single model-tier blip does not flip the service status unless the API or the whole image group degrades.

When FLUX is down, apps generating or editing images via api.bfl.ai will fail. Creative pipelines and design tools that integrate the FLUX API lose their generation capability until service recovers.

This page provides real-time status, uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
