Black Forest Labs' open-weights image model FLUX 3 Image Klein runs on consumer GPUs with just 8 GB of VRAM

Most image generators run in the cloud, but open weights let people run them on their own computer. Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3 Image Klein, a model with 5.6 billion parameters that outputs 4K pictures, edits them at the pixel level and can take up to ten reference pictures. A lower-precision build fits on an 8 GB graphics card, drawing an image in under nine seconds on an RTX 4070.
