# FLUX.2-klein 9B FP8 Edit Master

## Summary

Best current `FLUX.2-klein` image-edit master for your setup.

This is built from the official `9B distilled` template because it matches your `9B fp8` preference while still leaning toward practicality rather than the heavier `base` route.

## Status

- `best-current`
- `tested-on-chris-box`

## Workflow asset

- `workflow.json`

## Built from

- `models/flux2klein/image-edit-9b-distilled/`

## Why this is the current master

- Matches your default family: `FLUX.2-klein 9B fp8`
- Official Comfy template is a safer foundation than community pages with weak provenance.
- Distilled is the most sensible first optimization bias for a `3070`.
- The 2026-08-27 smoke test on this box produced another clean full-body white-background reference, which keeps this as the current practical master.

## What I intentionally kept

- official Comfy node layout
- official `9B fp8` model path
- official text-encoder pairing
- speed-first distilled route

## What I intentionally did not add yet

- community `GGUF` ideas
- KV-cache experimentation
- extra custom-node edits with unclear payoff
- a fake outpainting claim before we prove it on your machine

## Change Record

Fill this out whenever the master is materially updated so we can see exactly what changed, not just that something changed.

- Positive prompt: not recorded yet
- Negative prompt: not recorded yet
- CFG: `1`
- Steps: `4`
- Sampler: `euler`
- Scheduler: not recorded yet

- Checkpoint / model: `models/diffusion_models/flux-2-klein-9b-fp8.safetensors`
- VAE: `models/vae/full_encoder_small_decoder.safetensors`
- Text encoder(s): `models/text_encoders/qwen_3_8b_fp8mixed.safetensors`
- LoRAs: none recorded yet
- ControlNets / guidance nodes: none recorded yet
- Masks / inpaint settings: not recorded yet
- Node-level graph changes: aligned both saved diffusion-model widgets to the real `flux-2-klein-9b-fp8.safetensors` filename and kept the shared `full_encoder_small_decoder.safetensors` VAE; the 2026-08-27 single-image smoke held cleanly at `4` steps, `cfg 1`, `1536x864`, with `euler` and noise seed `26416064315367`
- Smoke test: `2026-08-27`, `4` steps, `cfg 1`, `1536x864`, output `benchmarks/flux2klein/runs/2026-08-27T02-08-31-134Z-single-smoke/cases/case01/01-flux2klein-overnight-smoke_00002_.png`
- Why this change was made: keep the master aligned with your `9B fp8` preference and the actual saved model filenames while staying more practical than the heavier base route

## Required models

- `models/diffusion_models/flux-2-klein-9b-fp8.safetensors`
- `models/text_encoders/qwen_3_8b_fp8mixed.safetensors`
- `models/vae/full_encoder_small_decoder.safetensors`

## Required custom nodes

- none beyond current official Comfy support for the template nodes

## Monday test checklist

- Confirm the model paths line up with your local layout.
- Test a plain edit, then an expand-canvas outpaint attempt.
- Compare `9B distilled` behavior against any `4B distilled` outpaint workflow you already trust.

## Next optimization candidates

- clone this into a dedicated outpaint master if the graph behaves well
- borrow only proven community prompt or graph hygiene improvements
