FLUX.2 Klein 9B is Black Forest Labs’ larger FLUX.2 [klein] sibling—built for detail-rich, reference-guided 1K drafts. On Cinel the billing registry still lists 0 credits and includes 9B in CINEL_FLUX_UNLIMITED_MODEL_IDS (same FLUX fair-use accounting family as 4B) (observed cinel-pricing). However, the model is internal: true—kept for billing/history and hidden from the public picker after pea delist (observed). It is not today’s public free-queue CTA. For live 0-credit runs, open FLUX.2 Klein 4B (observed public wall). Older “from 2 credits” copy is wrong and must not return.

Registry: 0 credits / FLUX fair-use · Availability: internal (not on public free picker) · Public free queue = /flux-2-klein-4b · Not “2 credits.”
Examples
See FLUX.2 Klein 9B in action
Fresh 9B-oriented stills—not borrowed GPT / Nano Banana cards. Each figcaption states the detail/control job: food texture, linear UI type, or tactile 3D wood.
Night-market yakitori detail — charcoal skewers, glossy glaze, rising steam, ember light. Shows texture/oil/smoke readability at 1K—not a ramen or macaron shot.
Linear boarding-pass / itinerary card — short readable fields, ticket stubs, clean rules. UI/type lane—not a circular infographic, not NB2 “WEEKLY REACH” dashboard.
Articulated wooden mannequin in a miniature set (paint-flecked wood, cloth scrap, soft key). Tactile figurine lane—not vinyl toy, not human headshot farm.
