Hey there, developers! Welcome back to another episode of the Ollama podcast. I'm your host, and wow, do we have some exciting stuff to unpack today from the world of AI image generation. Grab your coffee because we're diving into some really cool updates that landed on January 19th.
So the big story today is all about making image generation better, faster, and more accessible in Ollama. Jeffrey Morgan has been on fire with three merged pull requests that really show the evolution of this feature.
Let's start with the headliner - support for FLUX.2-klein model. Now, if you're not familiar with FLUX models, they're pretty impressive for image generation and editing. Jeffrey added preliminary support for FLUX.2-klein, and I love his honest approach here. He's calling it "not fully optimized" and has a clear…
The implementation is substantial too - we're talking over 3,000 lines of new code across 20 files. He's built out the entire FLUX.2 architecture with components like the transformer, VAE encoder-decoder, rope positioning, and scheduler. It's like watching someone build a complex machine piece by piece. The fact…
But here's what I really appreciate - Jeffrey didn't just add the…
