The evidence file for this verdict

4 receipts: 2 support the claim, 0 contradict it, 2 add context. 4 figures on the record, 1 traced to a quoted receipt.

Call resolution, recorded 6 Oct 2026

Inconclusive. Checked 6 Oct 2026: the Black Forest Labs organisation on Hugging Face (huggingface.co/api/models?author=black-forest-labs) lists no FLUX 3 Dev or FLUX 3 Video weights. Its newest FLUX 3 repositories, added 22 Sep 2026, are FLUX 3 Action robotics models (flux-3-action-base, -so101, -droid) under the FLUX Kommunity License, a different product from the video model this call is about. So no video weights by the due date, consistent with 'Q4 at the earliest'; the call's 60-day HOLDS and end-of-2026 BS conditions remain open, so this stays unresolved until then.
