What GPU do I need to run black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-dev?
32.2B parameters, published in BF16. View on Hugging FaceGated
Set up FLUX.2-devFLUX.2-dev is published by black-forest-labs on Hugging Face, with 608,892 downloads and 2,139 likes to date. It's a unlisted-architecture model built for image-to-image, published natively in BF16, and gated: you'll need to accept the model's terms on Hugging Face before downloading weights.
VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit
Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for KV-cache, activations, and fragmentation. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.
A GPU is only matched to a row if its hardware supports that precision, and the primary recommendation is always a single-GPU fit when one exists.
INT4 requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
Cheapest way to run FLUX.2-dev at its published (BF16) precision: 1× A100 on runpod, at $1.19/hr per GPU ($1.19/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
