# FLUX.1-schnell Mirror (A.I.M.I)

Mirror of [FLUX.1-schnell](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell) plus companion GGUF quantizations, re-hosted for stable URLs inside the [A.I.M.I](https://aimi.app) desktop product. Contents are unmodified.

FLUX.1-schnell is A.I.M.I's **default image generation model** — fast, commercial-safe (Apache 2.0), 1024×1024 native, typically 4 steps for a good image on RTX 5090.

| File | Upstream | Size | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `flux1-schnell-Q5_0.gguf` | [city96/FLUX.1-schnell-gguf](https://huggingface.co/city96/FLUX.1-schnell-gguf) | ~7.7 GB | FLUX.1-schnell base weights (Q5_0 GGUF) |
| `ae.safetensors` | [second-state/FLUX.1-schnell-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/second-state/FLUX.1-schnell-GGUF) | ~320 MB | Autoencoder (VAE) — decodes latent to pixels |
| `clip_l.safetensors` | [comfyanonymous/flux_text_encoders](https://huggingface.co/comfyanonymous/flux_text_encoders) | ~240 MB | CLIP-L text encoder |
| `t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-Q4_K_M.gguf` | [city96/t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-gguf](https://huggingface.co/city96/t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-gguf) | ~2.7 GB | T5-XXL text encoder (Q4_K_M, default for 16 GB tier) |
| `t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-Q8_0.gguf` | [city96/t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-gguf](https://huggingface.co/city96/t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-gguf) | ~4.8 GB | T5-XXL text encoder (Q8_0, higher-tier quality upgrade) |

Total: ~16 GB. Download either the Q4 or the Q8 T5 encoder depending on tier — both present for flexibility.
