- The DecoderNewsBlack Forest Labs releases open-weights FLUX 3 Image Klein that runs on 8 GB of VRAM
AIBlack Forest Labs has released FLUX 3 Image Klein, a 5.6-billion-parameter open-weights model for text-to-image generation, editing, and generation from up to ten reference images. The company says it scores highest among open models in internal testing, and an INT8 build runs on NVIDIA GPUs with 8 GB of VRAM, generating an image in under 9 seconds on an RTX 4070. The weights ship under the FLUX Kommunity License, free for companies earning under $5 million annually.

The quoted Black Forest Labs post describes it as open weights with 5.6B parameters that runs on a single consumer GPU, supporting native 4K output, bounding boxes, and pixel-perfect editing.
fal@falOfficialFLUX 3 Image Klein by Black Forest Labs is now available on falAIfal announces that FLUX 3 Image Klein from Black Forest Labs is now available on its platform. The model supports text-to-image generation and editing, letting users draw a box to set exact layouts, place objects from reference images, edit within boxes, transfer styles, and render text. Klein and Klein Base variants are offered.

AIfal posts links to Black Forest Labs' FLUX.3 Klein models for text-to-image and image editing, including base versions of each. The post lists four fal.ai model pages for users to try the models today.
Black Forest Labs@bfl_aiOfficialBlack Forest Labs offers enterprise licensing for FLUX 3 Image KleinAIBlack Forest Labs says enterprises can run open-weights FLUX 3 Image Klein on their own infrastructure and customize it to their visual language. The company offers forward deployed research support for custom fine-tuning on proprietary data, deployment help, and custom latency optimizations. Commercial rights to the larger FLUX 3 Image model, including weights for self-hosted deployment, are also available.
- Black Forest Labs@bfl_aiOfficialPickBlack Forest Labs releases FLUX 3 Image Klein, optimized for NVIDIA GPUs
AIBlack Forest Labs says FLUX 3 Image Klein was trained on NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 and optimized with NVIDIA. It reports about 0.55 seconds per image on NVIDIA GB300 using NVFP4, and about 4 seconds on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 using INT8. The post says it runs on RTX GPUs and laptops with 8 GB VRAM.
- Black Forest Labs@bfl_aiOfficialFLUX 3 Image Klein beats Qwen Image 2.1 in Black Forest Labs' internal evals
AIBlack Forest Labs says FLUX 3 Image Klein scores higher than Qwen Image 2.1, the current open-weights leader, in text-to-image and multi-reference generation in its internal evals. The company says the model costs less and sits on the Pareto frontier for quality and speed at a smaller model size.
- Black Forest Labs@bfl_aiOfficialPickBlack Forest Labs releases open-weight FLUX 3 Image Klein for consumer GPUs
AIBlack Forest Labs announces FLUX 3 Image Klein, an open-weight image model with 5.6B parameters that runs on a single consumer GPU. The company says it offers native 4K output, bounding box support, and pixel-perfect editing, and describes its quality as comparable to large frontier models.
- Hugging Face BlogOfficialPickHugging Face introduces FLUX.3 Image Klein in Diffusers
AIBlack Forest Labs released FLUX.3 Image Klein, a single model for text-to-image and multi-reference image-to-image generation that adds bounding-box layout control. The post says the distilled checkpoint generates a 1024 × 1024 image in about 2 seconds on an H100, and that NVFP4 and FP8 weights load for smaller GPUs. Diffusers ships LoRA training scripts for both tasks.
