Standard MFlux quantization uses MLX affine quantization (8-bit) across the text encoder, transformer and VAE. The quantization level is stored in the weights, so no --quantize flag is needed.
Usage
Install MFlux
uv tool install --upgrade mflux
Generate an image using Krea-2-Turbo Q8:
mflux-generate-krea2 \
--model mflux-community/krea-2-turbo-mflux-q8 \
--base-model krea-2 \
--prompt "A puffin standing on a cliff" \
--width 1024 \
--height 1024 \
--seed 42 \
--output image.png
The weights are downloaded from this repo on first use. To keep a local copy instead:
hf download mflux-community/krea-2-turbo-mflux-q8 --local-dir ./krea-2-turbo-mflux-q8
then pass --model ./krea-2-turbo-mflux-q8.
