# Flux2
Flux.2 is the recent series of image generation models from Black Forest Labs, preceded by the [Flux.1](./flux.md) series. It is an entirely new model with a new architecture and pre-training done from scratch!
Original model checkpoints for Flux can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs). Original inference code can be found [here](https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux2-dev).
> [!TIP]
> Flux2 can be quite expensive to run on consumer hardware devices. However, you can perform a suite of optimizations to run it faster and in a more memory-friendly manner. Check out [this section](https://huggingface.co/blog/sd3#memory-optimizations-for-sd3) for more details. Additionally, Flux can benefit from quantization for memory efficiency with a trade-off in inference latency. Refer to [this blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/quanto-diffusers) to learn more.

> [Caching](../../optimization/cache) may also speed up inference by storing and reusing intermediate outputs.
