What FLUX.2 klein is

FLUX.2 klein 4B is the small FLUX model from Black Forest Labs, released in January 2026. It has 4 billion parameters and finishes an image in 4 steps. Black Forest Labs says it needs about 13 GB of graphics memory on a PC. OGAM runs a quantized build that fits an iPhone with 12 GB of memory.

OGAM 0.0.122 (4 November 2026) added it to the Image tab, next to the Core ML Stable Diffusion models iPhones already had.

Which iPhones can run it

Apple doesn’t print memory on the box, so here’s the list. These iPhones have 12 GB:

  • iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max
  • iPhone Air
  • iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

The iPhone 17, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro have 8 GB. FLUX.2 klein (Light) needs about 6.4 GB to run, and an 8 GB iPhone can’t spare that, so OGAM doesn’t show FLUX on those phones.

  FLUX.2 klein 4B (Light) FLUX.2 klein 4B
Download About 5.3 GB About 7.1 GB
iPhone memory 12 GB 12 GB, right at the limit
Quantization Q4_0 Q8_0

Each download includes the Qwen3 4B text encoder and the FLUX.2 VAE.

Start with the Light build. The full build only just fits inside the memory OGAM allows on a 12 GB iPhone, so it’s more likely to stop when other apps are open.

Phone support is new. FLUX.2 klein runs on Mac today.If it fails on yours, the Core ML models in the same tab are the proven choice.

Make your first FLUX image

  1. Install OGAM from the App Store, or update it to 0.0.122 or later.
  2. Tap Models in the bottom bar, then the Image tab.
  3. Type FLUX in Search models.
  4. Tap FLUX.2 klein 4B (Light) and download it. Use Wi-Fi, because it’s about 5.3 GB.
  5. Open a chat and ask for a picture: “draw a neon sign reading OPEN LATE in a rainy alley”. OGAM sees it’s an image request and sends it to your image model.
  6. To make every message a picture, tap Chat options next to the message box and set Image to ON. Auto lets the app decide.

If you have more than one image model, choose FLUX in the model picker’s image tab before you send. FLUX draws readable lettering, so a short word on a sign or a label is a good first test.

The style row above the message box works with FLUX too. Tap Photoreal or Anime before you send, or tap Restyle under a finished picture to draw it again in another look.

Once it’s downloaded, turn on airplane mode and ask for another picture. It still works, because nothing leaves the phone.
