Name: Flux 2 Klein 9b
Author: BFL

Flux 2 Klein 9b is BFL's advanced text-to-image AI model. Create photorealistic images, illustrations, and concept art from natural language descriptions with exceptional detail and prompt adherence.

Input

Prompt(string)

The prompt to generate an image from.

Number of Inference Steps(integer)

The number of inference steps to perform. Range: 4 to 8.

Output Format(string)

The format of the generated image. Allowed values: jpeg, png.

Aspect Ratio(string)

Input Schema

5 parameters · 1 required · 4 optional

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`prompt`	string	Required	The prompt to generate an image from.
`seed`	integer	Optional	The seed to use for the generation. If not provided, a random seed will be used.
`aspect_ratio`	string	Optional	The aspect ratio of the generated image. · Options: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16 · Default: "16:9" 21:916:93:24:35:41:14:53:42:39:16
`output_format`	string	Optional	The format of the generated image. · Options: jpeg, png · Default: "png" jpegpng
`num_inference_steps`	integer	Optional	The number of inference steps to perform. · Min: 4 · Max: 8 · Default: 4

Output Schema

Field	Type	Description
`id`	string	Unique identifier for the generation task
`status`	string	Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout
`model`	string	Model used for the generation
`outputs`	array	Array of output items
`outputs[].url`	string	URL of the generated artifact
`outputs[].content_type`	string	MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4)
`error`	object \| null	Error details if failed, null on success
`error.type`	string	Machine-readable error type code
`error.message`	string	Human-readable error description

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, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response

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.

Pricing

Base generation	Per request	$0.015

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.

{
  "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"
}
