What is Flux.2 Dev Turbo?

Flux.2 Dev Turbo is a fast LoRA adapter for the FLUX.2 [dev] model that cuts image generation down to just 8 steps while keeping near identical or better quality than the full model.

Is Flux.2 Dev Turbo completely free?

Yes, the weights are freely downloadable on Hugging Face for non-commercial use, though commercial applications require a paid license through fal.ai's API.

How much faster is it compared to regular FLUX.2 [dev]?

It achieves 6x faster inference by reducing steps from ~50 to 8, making generation significantly quicker on the same hardware.

Does it support image editing or only text-to-image?

It supports both text to image generation and image editing, fully compatible with Diffusers pipelines when properly configured.
