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.

Popularity · adoption

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.

PRIVATE IMAGE EDITING · COMFYUISOURCE-LINKED SETUP

Edit images locally with FLUX.3 Image Klein

Place three files, open the official edit template, load your photo as the reference and describe the change. The template shows the original and the edit side by side so you can check what changed.

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.

THE WORKFLOW

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.

Download ComfyUI Desktop Official FLUX.3 Klein ComfyUI guide
02

Accept the license on Hugging Face

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.

black-forest-labs/flux-3-image-klein-comfy FLUX Kommunity License
03

Download the three 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 edit templates do not use the prompt upsampler, so it is not needed here. If you already set up the text-to-image guide, you have all three.

04

Open the “FLUX 3 Image Klein Distilled: Image Edit” 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: Image Edit, 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.

Download the workflow JSON Template details in the ComfyUI guide
05

Load your photo and write the edit

Click the Load Image node and choose your photo. It is wired to Set Reference Multi Latent, where your first image is called <ref_image_0>. Describe the finished picture and the change, naming the reference, as in the example below. Keep the template’s 4–16 steps (the template default), CFG 1, and the 1024 × 1024 canvas set in Empty Flux 2 Latent; change that size to match your photo’s shape if it is not square.

Example promptIn <ref_image_0>, change the colour of the jacket to deep red. Keep the face, pose, background and lighting the same.
Edit prompt guidance
06

Queue the edit and compare it with the original

Click Queue (Run). The Image Compare node shows your photo and the edited result side by side; drag the slider to check that only the jacket changed. Black Forest Labs notes edits can also alter areas outside the requested region, so look at the face and background closely. To keep the result, right-click it and choose Save Image, or add a Save Image node so it is written to Documents\ComfyUI/output.

03
SUCCESS CHECK · FLUX.3 Image Klein Distilled · int8

An edit you checked against the original

Image Compare shows your photo and the edited version; the requested change is there and the face, pose and background are unchanged or only slightly altered, and you saved the result.

Up to 10 reference images are supported; this guide uses one. Template names, files and settings come from the official ComfyUI guide, checked November 9, 2026. YouRunAI has not run this setup.

When it doesn’t go to plan

Downloads return 401 or 403.

Sign in to Hugging Face and accept the license on the flux-3-image-klein-comfy page, then download again in the same browser.

The template is missing or nodes are red.

Update ComfyUI to 0.41.0 or later and restart it. Check the filenames exactly match the listed files.

The whole picture changes, not just the requested part.

Name the reference as <ref_image_0>, say what must stay the same, and keep CFG at 1. Try another seed; Black Forest Labs notes references anchor content but do not lock structure.
