Vercel has updated its AI SDK, specifically the @ai-sdk/black-forest-labs package, to improve cost reporting for FLUX 3 video generations. This change, noted in releases @ai-sdk/black-forest-labs@2.0.22 and @ai-sdk/black-forest-labs@1.0.51 on August 5, addresses a previous limitation where the initial submission response could only estimate costs or return no cost at all, particularly when the final price was contingent on the completed video.

- Previously, the submit response could only estimate costs or return no cost for FLUX 3 video generations.
