What is Flux 2 Klein? Compact FLUX.2 for Real-Time Image Creation

Flux 2 Klein (FLUX.2 [klein]) is the fastest FLUX.2 family, distilled for real-time use without losing text rendering and spatial reasoning. It unifies generation and editing in a single checkpoint and runs on consumer hardware.

Klein 4B: Open and Lightweight
Open-weight under Apache 2.0. Fits in about 13GB VRAM, so it runs on cards like RTX 3090/4070 while staying fast.
Klein 9B: Higher Capacity, Still Fast
Non-commercial license. Around 29GB VRAM footprint and tuned for higher capacity and quality while keeping low latency.
Distilled for 4-Step Inference
Distilled variants run in 4 steps for real-time results. Base variants use a 50-step schedule for fine-tuning workflows.
