Black Forest Labs releases FLUX.2 [klein]: compact flow models for interactive visual intelligence. Black Forest Labs releases FLUX.2 [klein], a compact image model family that targets interactive visual intelligence on consumer hardware. FLUX.2 [klein] extends the FLUX.2 line with sub second generation and editing, a unified architecture for text to image and image to image, and deployment options that range from local GPUs to cloud APIs, while keeping state of the art image quality. From FLUX.2 [dev] to interactive visual intelligence. FLUX.2 [dev] is a 32 billion parameter rectified flow transformer for text conditioned image generation and editing, including composition with multiple reference images, and runs mainly on data center class accelerators. It is tuned for maximum quality and flexibility, with long sampling schedules and high VRAM requirements. FLUX.2 [klein] takes the same design direction and compresses it into smaller rectified flow transformers with 4 billion and 9 billion parameters. These models are distilled to very short sampling schedules, support the same text to image and multi reference editing tasks, and are optimized for response times below 1 second on modern GPUs. Model family and capabilities. The FLUX.2 [klein] family consists of 4 main open weight variants through a single architecture. * FLUX.2 [klein] 4B * FLUX.2 [klein] 9B * FLUX.2...
