1.58-bit FLUX is an advanced text-to-image generation model that quantifies the FLUX.1-dev model by using 1.58-bit weights (i.e., values in {-1, 0, +1}), while maintaining comparable performance for generating 1024x1024 images. This method does not require access to image data and relies entirely on self-supervision of the FLUX.1-dev model. In addition, a custom kernel was developed, optimized for 1.58-bit operations, achieving a 7.7-fold reduction in model storage, a 5.1-fold reduction in inference memory, and improving inference latency. Extensive evaluations in GenEval and T2I Compbench benchmarks show that 1.58-bit FLUX significantly improves computational efficiency while maintaining the quality of the generation.
