FLUX.2 klein base 4B is an Apache-2.0 licensed image-to-image model from black-forest-labs. It is a 4 billion parameter rectified flow transformer that unifies image generation and editing in a single compact architecture and supports multi-reference editing. It is an undistilled, full-capacity foundation model intended for flexibility, fine-tuning, LoRA training, research, and custom pipelines. The model card states it can run on consumer hardware with as little as 13GB VRAM and is available via ComfyUI and Diffusers.

FLUX.2 klein 4B is a 4 billion parameter rectified flow transformer model from black-forest-labs, licensed under Apache 2.0. It is an image-to-image pipeline and also supports text-to-image and multi-reference editing. The model card describes it as the fastest image model in the FLUX.2 family, unifying generation and editing in a single compact architecture, with end-to-end inference in as low as under a second. It is built for interactive workflows, production deployments, and latency-critical applications, and can run on consumer GPUs with as little as 13GB VRAM. It supports English language input and is available via BFL API, ComfyUI, and Diffusers. The official model card notes limitations around factual information, text rendering accuracy, bias, prompt following, and certain out-of-scope uses.
