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.

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 2026-08-21 smoke test on this box produced a clean full-body white-background reference, which is good enough to keep 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

Why this change was made: keep the master aligned with your 9B fp8 preference while staying more practical than the heavier base route

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
