MFlux versions of ideogram-4-fp8

Converted on 2026-08-21.

Standard MFlux quantization uses MLX affine quantization (3-bit) across the text encoder, transformer and VAE. The quantization level is stored in the weights, so no --quantize flag is needed.

Usage

Install MFlux

uv tool install --upgrade mflux

Generate an image using ideogram-4-fp8 Q3:

mflux-generate-ideogram4 \
  --model mflux-community/ideogram-4-mflux-q3 \
  --base-model ideogram-4-fp8 \
  --prompt "A puffin standing on a cliff" \
  --width 1024 \
  --height 1024 \
  --seed 42 \
  --output image.png

The weights are downloaded from this repo on first use. To keep a local copy instead:

hf download mflux-community/ideogram-4-mflux-q3 --local-dir ./ideogram-4-mflux-q3

then pass --model ./ideogram-4-mflux-q3.
