How is Base different from the distilled klein 9B?

Black Forest Labs step- and guidance-distilled klein 9B to run in four steps. Base is the same 9B model without that distillation: its makers describe it as having higher output diversity and recommend it for fine-tuning and LoRA training. Here it took two to five times longer per image, gave softer, more film-like pictures. Their reference settings run Base at 50 steps against four for the distilled build.

Do LoRAs trained on the distilled klein 9B work here?

In our tests, yes: a pixel-art LoRA trained on the distilled 9B redrew the scene on Base, and unfiltered LoRAs trained on Base also loaded on the distilled build. FLUX.1 and klein 4B LoRAs ran without an error and changed nothing.

My LoRA loaded but nothing changed. Why?

Three causes in our tests: the file was trained for another model (FLUX.1 or klein 4B), it was saved in diffusers PEFT format (keys ending in .default.weight), or it is a style LoRA whose look the prompt already asks for. None of these raise an error. Compare the same seed with and without the file.

Should I use this or FLUX.2 Klein 9B LoRA?

Use Base to check a LoRA you trained on Base, or for a softer, more varied look. Use the distilled build when speed matters: it renders in about ten seconds and gives a more polished photographic finish.

Can I use uncensored LoRAs for NSFW images?

Yes. LoRA files are not reviewed and the output is not filtered. On its own Base tends to crop or soften NSFW content and tone down the Very strong level; unfiltered LoRAs trained on Base removed that in our tests.

Why did my LoRA request fail?

Usually the link needs a login (gated Hugging Face files answer with HTTP 401) or points to the repository page instead of the file. Use a public URL that downloads the .safetensors file itself. Failed requests are not charged.

Each endpoint has one flat price per image. The aspect ratio, 1k or 2k, the number of edit sources and loading LoRAs do not change it. Failed requests are not charged.

Key features & highlights

Same person, new place

A street portrait at a crosswalk moved into a glasshouse at dawn in a rust silk dress, with her face, curls and smile kept. An office portrait became a linen shirt and a watering can in a fern house, silver hair and stubble intact.

Two portraits, one scene

Two separate portraits became one inked illustration under a glasshouse dome, with both faces recognisable, from the prompt alone and without any LoRA.

LoRAs on real photos

A film-still or analog LoRA sets the grade of an edit. An unfiltered LoRA can change what is drawn, and a strong one at scale 1 replaced the framing and the person in one of our tests, so start lower on edits.

Pricing

$0.031 / image

Billed per image at one flat price. The number of sources, the size tier and loading LoRAs do not change the price.

Use cases

Testing a LoRA on real photos

See how a LoRA you trained on Base treats real people and places, with their faces, before you build a series on it.

Wardrobe and location changes

Change outfit and setting in one pass while keeping the person, for lookbooks, mood boards and character references.

Turning photos into illustration

Ask for an inked or dotted illustration in the prompt and the edit redraws the people and place in that medium while keeping who they are, with or without a style LoRA.

Prompt guide & pro tips

Protect first, then change

Name what must stay, such as face, hair, expression and pose, then the change: garment, place and light. Short, concrete instructions work best, and the result keeps the first source's shape unless you pick a ratio.

Watch strong LoRAs

An unfiltered LoRA at scale 1 replaced the framing and the person in one of our tests. Start around 0.6 on edits and raise it only while the face still matches the source.

Expect about half a minute

Edits took about 30 seconds at 1k and close to a minute at 2k in our tests. Work at 1k with auto while you settle the instruction, then pick a ratio and 2k for the final.

Content test

Is FLUX.2 Klein Base 9B LoRA uncensored? What we tested

We ran each level on our live setup and checked every clip frame by frame. A pass means the content was actually on screen, not just that the request went through.

How each mode behaves

All modes: Use LoRAs trained for FLUX.2 [klein] 9B, Base or distilled. FLUX.1 [dev] and klein 4B LoRAs loaded without an error and changed nothing in our tests, and so did a file saved in diffusers PEFT format. A link that needs a login or points to a web page fails the request. Up to three LoRAs, scale 0 to 4. There is no negative prompt and no step or guidance control; output is JPEG, one image per request.
All modes: There is no content filter. On its own the model holds back: in our tests it cropped results short of the Strong level, softened a request with a male subject, kept a Very strong scene implied, and in editing sometimes returned the source unchanged. With unfiltered LoRAs trained on Base loaded, every level we test rendered, Very strong included. A strong LoRA in an edit can replace the framing and the person, so lower its scale to keep the source.
All modes: It is slow next to the distilled klein 9B: about 20 seconds for a 1k image and 30 to 75 seconds for edits and 2k in our tests.
Image editing: Editing takes one to three sources. With auto the result keeps the first image's shape at about one megapixel; choose a ratio for the 1k or 2k tier.
All modes: Every person you describe or upload must be an adult. You are responsible for the lawfulness of what you generate and publish, including the rights of anyone shown in a source image. Generated media is retained for 14 days and then deleted.

Use cases

What to build with the FLUX.2 Klein Base 9B LoRA API

Checking your own LoRA
Train on klein Base 9B, then run the file here at full quality against the same seed without it, without hosting a GPU.
Varied, natural stills
Base gives softer light, natural skin and more variety from seed to seed than the distilled build.
Restyling photos
Editing keeps a person and changes clothes, place or medium, from a film grade to an inked illustration.
Your own LoRAs, unfiltered
Nothing is reviewed or filtered. Unfiltered LoRAs trained on Base are how you get the scenes the model holds back on its own.

Text to image
Emerald silk in the palm house
AnalogRedmAF, Analog. Dawn inside a Victorian palm house: giant fronds, curved glass streaked with condensation, white wrought-iron ribs overhead, mist hanging in the first light. A woman in her mid-thirties with dark brown skin and close-cropped natural hair stands among the palms in an emerald silk robe loosely tied at the waist, her hair damp from the misting system, an alluring look toward the camera. 35mm film photograph, soft green and gold tones, fine grain.
Why it works. An analog-photo LoRA at 0.8 with its trigger first, 2:3 at 2k. Compared with the same seed without it, the LoRA made the picture lighter and hazier with softer greens.

Denim to silk among the palms
Cinematic, Film Still. Keep the face, curly hair and smile of the woman in image 1. Move her into a glasshouse at dawn among huge palm fronds, condensation running down the glass, and change her outfit to a rust-coloured silk slip dress with a low back, her hair a little damp from the humid air. Soft golden haze.
Why it works. One street photo, auto shape, the film-still LoRA at 0.8. Her face, curls and smile stay; the denim becomes a rust silk dress, among palms at dawn.

First light in the lily house
First light in a round glasshouse built around a pond of giant water lilies, mist rising from the water, wrought-iron columns and beads of condensation on the panes. A man in his early forties with South Asian features, a salt-and-pepper beard and a white shirt open at the collar with the sleeves rolled up kneels on the stone rim, one hand trailing in the water, looking up at the camera with a quiet smile. Cinematic wide shot, 35mm lens, pale gold and jade palette.
Why it works. No LoRA, 16:9 at 2k: Base on its own, with soft gold light, mist on the water and a natural pose.

Get started

How to use the FLUX.2 Klein Base 9B LoRA API in three steps

Step 1
Test the LoRA you trained
Base is the build klein 9B LoRAs are usually trained on, so a file you trained runs here the way it was trained. Run the same prompt and seed with and without it; in our text-to-image tests a repeated seed gave identical pixels.
Step 2
Distilled LoRAs load too
A pixel-art LoRA trained on the distilled klein 9B redrew our test scene here. FLUX.1 and klein 4B LoRAs, and a file saved in diffusers PEFT format, ran without an error and changed nothing.
Step 3
Start the scale at 0.8 to 1
0.5 gave a lighter version of a style in our tests, 1 the full look, and 4 broke the picture into blocks. Unfiltered LoRAs can change framing and faces; lower them if that happens.
