Flux 2 feels too big on purpose

Anyone else feel like Flux 2 feels a bit too bloated for the quality of images generated feels like an attempt to get everyone to just use the API inference services instead of self-hosting?


Like the main model for Flux 2 fp8 is 35 GB + 18 GB = 53 GB for mistral encoder FP8. Compare that to Qwen edit fp8 which is 20.4 GB and 8GB for the vision model FP8 = 29 GB total


Feels like I'll just waiting for nunchaku to release its version before switching to it or just wait for the next qwen edit 2511 version, the current version of which seems basically same performance as flux 2
