Running FLUX Locally on an RTX 4070 with Quantization

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer shares a workflow to run FLUX, a 34GB image generation model, on an RTX 4070 with 12GB VRAM using 4-bit NF4 quantization. The method leverages a Google Colab notebook and LoRA fine-tuning to train the model on personal images. This enables local AI art generation without expensive hardware.

Meridian48 take
Practical guide shows that with quantization, high-end consumer GPUs can handle large models, but the process still requires technical know-how and patience.
