Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

FLUX.1 [schnell] Redux
FLUX.1 [schnell] Redux combines the low-step, speed-oriented FLUX.1 Schnell model with Redux image-reference guidance. It is intended for rapid visual iteration, allowing creators to test compositions and art direction quickly while retaining the FLUX family’s ability to construct coherent subjects, lighting, materials, and stylistic treatment.
Supply a reference whose composition, palette, or aesthetic should guide the variation, then use the fast result for alternate treatments and concept branching. This route is most valuable during exploration and high-volume generation, before a slower model is chosen for demanding final-detail work.
Highlights
- Fast reference variation. Combines Schnell’s rapid generation path with visual direction extracted from a source image.
- Composition and palette transfer. Carries high-level structure, color relationships, and aesthetic cues into a new result.
- Low-step creative branching. Produces multiple related directions efficiently for mood boards and campaign exploration.
- Fresh reinterpretation. Changes content and rendering while keeping the new image visibly connected to its reference.
Pricing
| Configuration | Billing unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base generation | Per request | $0.025 |
When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The project needs this exact generation or editing route | The intended task belongs to video, audio, or 3D media |
| Available references match every required local field | Required source assets or rights are unavailable |
| The brief can specify composition, color, and finish | Output must be deterministic at pixel level |
| Supported dimensions and formats fit final placement | Delivery requires unsupported canvas specifications |
| An asynchronous generated image fits production | A 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.
