FLUX 3 Image Klein released, a 5.6B open-weights model from $0.008 per image
FLUX 3 Image Klein is a 5.6B parameter version of FLUX 3 Image with open weights. It supports the same features: text to image, image editing, multi reference, and bounding boxes. Run it through the API, download the weights from Hugging Face, or load it in ComfyUI.
Key Features
- Same request as FLUX 3 Image:
prompt,images,aspect_ratio,resolution, and the bounding box format are unchanged. A FLUX 3 Image request runs on Klein by switching the endpoint - Two variants: Klein (Distilled) runs 16 steps at CFG 1 for fast inference. Klein Base runs 50 steps at CFG 3.5 and is the model for fine-tuning and LoRA training
- Open weights: both variants are on Hugging Face under the FLUX Kommunity License and run on consumer GPUs, down to an RTX 3090
- Up to 4K output:
resolutionfrom768sqto4k, with up to ten reference images per request - LoRA training: train on Klein Base with AI Toolkit (
arch: flux3) or Diffusers. The trained LoRA also loads into Klein (Distilled)
Pricing
Per image, by resolution. Text to image and image editing cost the same.
| resolution | Price | | - | - | | 768sq | $0.008 | | 1k | $0.009 | | 1.5k | $0.011 | | 2k | $0.014 | | 4k | $0.036 |
