V2 is an alternative to V1 with sharper good quality images from 4 steps. This version merges Schnell + Finetuned Dev + Hyper using the same but refined formula of variable block ratios from V1. Check comparison images below!

Tested sampler/scheduler for low steps:

• ComfyUI: euler sampler, simple or beta scheduler.

• Forge: euler, flux realistic sampler. KL Optimal or beta scheduler.

This model doesn't take guidance parameter, like schnell.

The versions with AIO (All in one) in the name include UNET + VAE + CLIP L + T5XXL (fp8). Also known as Checkpoint or Compact version.

Using BNB NF4 & GGUF quants in ComfyUI requires installing custom nodes that add special model loaders:

• UNET GGUF: https://github.com/city96/ComfyUI-GGUF

• UNET NF4: https://github.com/DenkingOfficial/ComfyUI_UNet_bitsandbytes_NF4

• AIO NF4: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_bitsandbytes_NF4

For using UNET versions, you also need to have the TEXT ENCODERS and VAE.

If you don't have them, download them from here:

• TEXT ENCODERS: https://huggingface.co/comfyanonymous/flux_text_encoders/tree/main

• VAE: https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell/tree/main/vae

Place the model in "models/unet", both text encoders in "models/clip" and vae in "models/vae" folder.

In ComfyUI, use the standard flux workflow or add 'Load Diffusion Model', 'DualClipLoader' and 'Load VAE' nodes to replace the checkpoint loader and complete the setup.

In Forge, set the option "Diffusion in low bits" to "bnb-nf4"
