FLUX 3 tops Physics-IQ benchmark for video physical understanding

AISummary

Black Forest Labs says its FLUX 3 model ranks first on Google DeepMind's Physics-IQ benchmark, which tests whether video models can predict what happens next in real filmed physical experiments.

The company says FLUX 3 outperforms Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, and Cosmos3 in most cases, and that pairing it with a physics verification layer scores even higher.

FLUX 3 is #1 on Physics-IQ, @GoogleDeepMind's benchmark for physical world understanding in video models.

How Physics-IQ works: given the start of a real filmed experiment, can a model predict what physically happens next? Tests span fluid dynamics, optics, solid mechanics, magnetism and thermodynamics, covering how liquids flow, light behaves and objects interact.

In most cases, we substantially outperform all other frontier models, Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2, Cosmos3.

The FLUX 3 base model outperforms all other foundation models, while FLUX 3 paired with a physics verification layer scores even higher.

The FLUX 3 backbone, with its strong physics understanding, gives FLUX 3 Action it’s strong action prediction for robotics, while also giving FLUX 3 Video physically accurate motion when you’re creating content, making ads, films and product shots.
