FLUX.2 [klein]

### TL;DR

FLUX.2 [klein] is a family of advanced image generation and editing models designed for real-time performance. They unify generation and editing in a single compact architecture, delivering state-of-the-art quality with end-to-end inference times under a second. Built for applications requiring real-time image generation without sacrificing quality, these models run on consumer hardware with as little as 13GB VRAM.

Key Insights & Metrics

Key Features

• Sub-second inference: Generate or edit images in under 0.5s on modern hardware.
• Photorealistic outputs and high diversity, especially in the base variants.
• Unified generation and editing: Supports text-to-image, image editing, and multi-reference generation in a single model.
• Runs on consumer GPUs: The 4B model fits in approximately 13GB VRAM (RTX 3090/4070 and above).
• Developer-friendly & Accessible: Apache 2.0 on 4B models, open weights for 9B models, full open weights for customization and fine-tuning.
