Prior to founding Black Forest Labs, Andreas was a generative AI researcher at LMU Munich, NVIDIA and StabilityAI, where he made significant contributions in the field of image- and video-generation. He is the co-inventor of Latent Diffusion, a generative modeling technique that led to the famous open-source text-to-image AI system Stable Diffusion, which he co- developed. Today the Latent DIffusion technique powers cutting edge AI models for visual media such as FLUX, Midjourney and OpenAI’s DALL-E3 and has been adopted in a variety of related fields such as audio generation, medical imaging and more.
