FLUX.2 Klein 4B: edit a photo with reference images, license checked

How to pick the Klein model you're allowed to use, write the edit with your reference photos, and spot changes you never asked for.

The short version

I use this guide to pick the permitted Klein model, write an edit with reference photos, and spot changes you never asked for. FLUX.2 Klein generates and edits images in one model and accepts more than one reference image. The distilled 4B model uses four inference steps and its weights are Apache 2.0. The 9B models use a non-commercial license.

I checked the official instructions and license, but I have not run this model myself yet, so the bag edit below is a plan for your own photos, not a result.
