Black Forest Labs publishes FLUX 3 Image Klein, the compact tier of FLUX 3
Klein is BFL's small image tier, aimed at fast local generation. Parameter count and licence are not in the source text, so check the blog and model card before running it in ComfyUI on a 16 to 32 GB card.
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next runs at IQ3_S with 131k context on 12GB VRAM plus 32GB RAM
An IQ3_S quant of an abliterated GSQ-RCO build hits 40-50 tok/s decode and 1300-1500 tok/s prefill at 131k context, using a custom Strata fork. The poster claims about 99% of BF16 is retained; unverified.
Qwen releases Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, a 7B image model with 8-step generation
7B-parameter diffusion model generates 2K images and does natural-language edits in just 8 denoising steps, with open weights on Hugging Face (licence listed as other, check terms). Fast enough for a single consumer GPU in ComfyUI.
Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, a 740M multimodal embedding model
740M parameters (270M text, 170M vision, 300M audio encoders) map text, images, video and audio into one 768-dim space, under Apache 2.0. Small enough for a consumer GPU, and it even runs in a browser tab via WebGPU.
