⚡ FLUX.2 Klein 9B — the highest-quality Klein tier, pre-quantized. Text-to-image and reference-based editing at 2x–11x with the QuantFunc plugin.
The larger 9B Klein model for maximum fidelity, shipped as distilled (4-step) + base (28-step) transformers across three GPU tiers (50x FP4 · 40x INT4+FP8 · 30x-below INT4+INT8).
Pre-quantized FLUX.2 Klein 9B model series by QuantFunc, Lighting backend. Text-to-image and reference-based image editing.
✨ Both the distilled AND the non-distilled (base) model are supported, and the series ships three GPU tiers so every card gets the best path it can run:
50x (Blackwell, FP4) · 40x (RTX 40 / Ada & Hopper, INT4 + FP8) · 30x-below (RTX 30 and below, INT4 + INT8).
Overview
FLUX.2 Klein is Black Forest Labs' Flux.2 family. The 9B variant (the larger, higher-quality variant, transformer K=4096). QuantFunc ships, pre-quantized:
Base / non-distilled transformer — the full 28-step model with classical CFG (--guidance-scale 4.0), highest quality.
…each in 3 hardware tiers (below). Distilled and base share the same base-model — only the transformer file differs.
Hardware tiers (pick by GPU)
FP4 needs Blackwell (SM120); FP8 needs Ada (SM89) or Hopper (SM90) — e.g. RTX 40 / L40 / H100 / H200; INT4/INT8 run everywhere (Ampere/Turing, e.g. RTX 30/20, A100). So:

--auto-optimize picks the VRAM/attention/compression strategy for your GPU. The ComfyUI Lighting plugin auto-selects the matching tier + precision-config.
