Q4 7.2GB technically fits but image gen overhead and quality tradeoffs make it not viable for 10GB. Offloading too slow.

About FLUX.1 Dev

FLUX.1 Dev (12B) is a image gen model. State-of-the-art image generation. Significantly better prompt adherence and image quality than SDXL. 12B parameter transformer model (not diffusion UNet). FP16 requires 24GB VRAM, but Q4 quantization brings it to 8GB GPUs. Non-commercial license.
