API README

Flux 2 Klein 9b

Flux 2 Klein 9b exposes the FLUX.2 Klein 9B capability for compact image generation. The step-distilled model is built for low-latency inference while retaining strong visual quality.

Use this 9B route when a stronger quality-to-speed balance and more complex visual understanding matter. Write a detailed narrative prompt because Klein does not depend on automatic prompt upsampling.

Highlights

  • FLUX.2 Klein 9B architecture. Uses the compact step-distilled 9B model for fast visual synthesis.
  • Detailed image generation. Creates coherent photographic and designed imagery from narrative prompts.
  • Expanded visual capacity. Uses the larger Klein variant for more complex concepts and a stronger quality-speed balance.
  • Multi-reference composition. Combines multiple visual concepts while retaining responsive generation.

When to Use

✅ Good fit❌ Consider alternatives
The project needs this exact generation or editing routeThe intended task belongs to video, audio, or 3D media
Available references match every required local fieldRequired source assets or rights are unavailable
The brief can specify composition, color, and finishOutput must be deterministic at pixel level
Supported dimensions and formats fit final placementDelivery requires unsupported canvas specifications
An asynchronous generated image fits productionA live frame-synchronous response is mandatory

Prompt Guide

Write a complete visual brief: identify the subject and references, define composition and viewpoint, describe lighting, palette, materials, typography, and finish, then list exact preservation constraints. FLUX.2 Klein does not rely on prompt upsampling, so use clear descriptive sentences rather than sparse keywords.

{
  "prompt": "A photorealistic editorial composition with precise subject placement, controlled lighting, exact colors, and clean typography",
  "seed": 1,
  "aspect_ratio": "21:9",
  "output_format": "jpeg"
}
