I will add, for anyone who has not played with it, that I am pretty impressed with what little I’ve seen of FLUX.2. If you can run it, it’s got some pretty impressive output.
The downside is that it’s memory-hungry and compute-hungry. On a Framework Desktop, I can run the FP8 release with about 54 GB of VRAM. It takes about 290 seconds — a bit under 5 minutes — to generate a 20 iteration, 1280x720 image, which is much more compute-heavy than any other image generation model that I’ve run locally.
