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:
NF4 + Lora support: https://github.com/bananasss00/ComfyUI_bitsandbytes_NF4-Lora
(outdated) NF4 UNET: https://github.com/DenkingOfficial/ComfyUI_UNet_bitsandbytes_NF4
(outdated) NF4 AIO checkpoint: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_bitsandbytes_NF4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:
T5XXL - CLIP L: https://huggingface.co/comfyanonymous/flux_text_encoders/tree/main
GGUF T5XXL: https://huggingface.co/city96/t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-gguf
VAE: https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell/tree/main/vae
Place the model in "models/diffusion_models" or "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"

FAQ
Comments (22)
I have uploaded model only versions, which don't include CLIP or VAE for smaller size. In comfy you'd need to use the 'Load Diffusion Model' node instead.
Would it be possible for you to upload the NF4 BNB version pls
Hi, I am looking into that, but no ETA for now
Personally would rather Q5_1, i guess were yet to figure out easy way to quantize
Good news! NF4 is ready and uploading. Will look into other quant types aswell.
@Anibaaal thanks a lot
nf4 is outdated
Does the FP4 version support LoRA? This merge looks very good.
Not tested yet, but it should work if your generator supports lora with other nf4/fp4 models.
Can I use this model in Forge?
Only the all in one versions as far as I know, but I don't use forge, I could be wrong... I will upload a nf4 all in one version shortly.
Edit: AIO version is up! tested and working in forge.
@Anibaaal Thank You
Added NF4 All-In-One version compatible with Forge and Comfy's official Checkpoint Loader NF4. GGUF next
nf4 is outdated and the worst version if you need 4bit better use q4
@mirek190 and why complain? gguf q4, q5 and q8 are also available. Some people still want nf4
thank you for your work (gguf)
@Anibaaal why?
You have already q4.
Your answer has no sense.
@mirek190 as I said, some people still want NF4. And if you ask me I think it looks better than Q4 too.
I don't get why you care about NF4 being available, just ignore it if you don't want it, please move on :)
@cafelait you are welcome!
@Anibaaal Every test clear shows that nf4 is worse and loosing a lot of details comparing to q4.
