						From the Frontier Research Team at **Takara.ai** we present **Flux.1 Q_4_k**, a quantized GGUF model optimized for [stable-diffusion.cpp](https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp), enabling efficient image generation on lower-end hardware. This model was used to create the [Kurai Toori Dark Streets dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/takara-ai/kurai_toori_dark_streets). |

						## Features | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Optimized for lower-end hardware through 4-bit quantization | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- High-quality image generation despite compression | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Efficient performance with minimal quality degradation | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Wide-ranging capabilities beyond dark street scenes | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## Usage | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						1. Clone and set up stable-diffusion.cpp: | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   ``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   git clone https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp.git | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   cd stable-diffusion.cpp | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   # Follow setup instructions in the stable-diffusion.cpp README | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   ``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						2. Download the GGUF model file from this repository. | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						3. Run the model using stable-diffusion.cpp, pointing to the downloaded file: | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   ``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   ./sd -m path/to/flux.1-q_4_k.gguf -p "your prompt here" | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						   ``` | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## Performance Benefits | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Reduced memory usage compared to full-precision models | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Faster inference times on consumer hardware | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Runs on less powerful hardware without significant quality loss | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Ideal for experimentation and rapid prototyping | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## Technical Details | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						This model is a 4-bit quantized version of the FLUX.1-schnell base model from Black Forest Labs. The quantization process preserves the creative capabilities of the original model while dramatically reducing its memory footprint and computational requirements. | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						## Example Use Cases | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						
 | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Generating urban nightscapes and cityscapes | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Creating artistic interpretations for creative projects | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Rapid prototyping of visual concepts | 
					
					
						
						| 
							 | 
						- Accessible AI image generation on consumer hardware |
