FLUX-2-klein-9b

by Black Forest Labs

FLUX-2-klein-9b is a 9 billion parameter rectified flow transformer released in January 2026 as a middle ground between the lightweight 4B variant and the flagship FLUX-2-dev. It pairs a 9B flow model with an 8B Qwen3 text embedder and is step-distilled to 4 inference steps, delivering more nuanced prompt adherence and quality than the 4B variant while still running on consumer and professional GPU hardware. FLUX-2-klein-9b supports text-to-image generation along with single-reference and multi-reference editing, enabling character consistency and product visualization at fast inference speeds. Available under the FLUX Non-Commercial License, it suits developers who want more sophisticated output than the 4B model without the heavier compute of the 32B FLUX-2-dev, with a separate undistilled 9B Base model available for fine-tuning.
