What do these scores mean?+
Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.
Freshness · release age
A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.
Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

CURRENT SETUP
FLUX.3 Image Klein Distilled · int8 · official
Black Forest Labs says the int8 files are meant for 8 GB GPUs such as the RTX 3070 and for cards without FP8 support; ComfyUI offloads what does not fit. 16 GB is a more comfortable estimate at 1024 × 1024. Above 24 GB you can switch to the bf16 files in the same repository.

Set up FLUX.3 Image Klein Distilled · int8 on your machine
Choose your computer first, then its GPU path. Follow the visual setup and import the linked workflow.
CHOOSE YOUR SETUPWindows
Other operating systems
Mac: These int8 (convrot) files target NVIDIA GPUs, and neither Black Forest Labs nor the official ComfyUI guide documents running them on Apple Silicon. On a Mac, choose the MLX 8-bit (Mac) package instead; it runs with mflux. Compatibility source
01
Install or update ComfyUI Desktop
Download ComfyUI Desktop for Windows with an NVIDIA GPU and install it. If you already have it, update it: the FLUX.3 Klein templates need ComfyUI 0.41.0 or later. Desktop asks where to keep your models; this guide assumes the default Documents\ComfyUI folder.
The files are in a gated repository. Sign in to Hugging Face, open the repository below and choose Agree and access repository. Without this step every download link returns an error. The FLUX Kommunity License allows non-commercial use, and commercial use of outputs for individuals and companies under US$5M annual revenue; read it before using images commercially.
Download the four model files into the right folders
While signed in to Hugging Face in your browser, download each file and move it into the matching folder under Documents\ComfyUI/models. Keep the exact filenames. The template runs the prompt upsampler to expand short prompts; Black Forest Labs says to keep it on.
Put these files in Documents\ComfyUI/models/4 required files
Open the “FLUX 3 Image Klein Distilled: Text to Image” template
Restart ComfyUI so it sees the new files. Then either open Templates and search for “FLUX 3 Klein” and choose FLUX 3 Image Klein Distilled: Text to Image, or download the workflow JSON below and drag it onto the canvas. These are two ways to load the same graph; use one. If nodes are red or the template is missing, your ComfyUI is older than 0.41.0.
Enter a short prompt in the positive prompt box. Keep the template’s 16 steps and CFG 1, and a 1024 × 1024 square. enable_prompt_upsampler is on by default and expands a short prompt before sampling. Turn it off only if you want your exact wording.

Queue the image and find the saved file
Click Queue (Run). When it finishes, the image appears in the Save Image node and is written to Documents\ComfyUI/output as a PNG. Open that file to check it: the fox, the suitcase and the lighting should match the prompt. Change the seed to get a different image with the same settings.

SUCCESS CHECK · FLUX.3 Image Klein Distilled · int8
A saved FLUX.3 image
ComfyUI finishes the queue and a PNG matching your prompt appears in the output folder. Re-run with a new seed to confirm the setup is repeatable.
Files, folders, template names and settings come from the official ComfyUI guide and Black Forest Labs’ repository, checked November 9, 2026. YouRunAI has not rendered with this setup.
