Flux 2 Klein Vs Flux 3 Klein

After these tests, I’m confused, and I don’t understand why the Flux 3 Klein model exists or why it turned out the way it did.

Key points

  • Flux 2 Klein (9B) (Distill) (BF16)
  • I took equivalent models for comparison, Flux 3 Klein Distill and Flux 2 Klein (9B), and it’s more correct and fair to compare exactly these two with each other.
  • Still, I decided to add Flux 3 Klein (Base) to understand what this model is capable of overall in its maximum configuration.
  • Images 1-3: complex prompts with lots of details and different poses.
