This is a BF16 conversion of [`black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-small-decoder`](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-small-decoder), converted using `diffusers` and `safetensors`. Weights cast from FP32 to BF16; `bn` statistics preserved as-is.
`FLUX.2 Small Decoder` is a distilled VAE decoder that serves as a **drop-in replacement** for the standard FLUX.2 decoder. It delivers faster decoding and lower VRAM usage with minimal to zero quality loss. The encoder remains unchanged.
# **Key Features**
1. **~1.4x faster decoding** compared to the full decoder.
2. **~1.4x less VRAM** at decode time, enabling higher resolutions without running out of memory.
3. **~28M decoder parameters** (vs ~50M in the full decoder) thanks to narrower channel widths (`[96, 192, 384, 384]` vs `[128, 256, 512, 512]`).
4. **Minimal quality loss** — images are almost identical.
5. Available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Compatible with all open FLUX.2 models:
- [FLUX.2-klein-4B](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-4B)
- [FLUX.2-klein-9B](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-9B)
