The FLUX.2 family
Black Forest Labs announced FLUX.2 in November 2025 with Pro, Flex, Dev and Klein models, and released the compact Klein models in January 2026 [2]. Every version supports text to image plus single- and multi-reference editing [1].
- Dev — 32B open weights, the quality/price sweet spot.
- Klein 4B / 9B — small and fast; Base versions are undistilled for fine-tuning.
- Pro, Flex, Max — hosted versions for higher fidelity and typography.
Drafting cheap, finishing high
Because Dev and Klein cost 3 credits and sit on the free plan, a common workflow is to explore ideas there, keep the seed and prompt you like, and re-run the final on Flux 2 Pro, Max or Seedream 5.0 Pro.
