Chroma is an 8.9B text-to-image model based on FLUX.1-schnell for creators and developers who want local image generation. The original model repository is deprecated; its maintainer recommends Chroma1-HD, Chroma1-Base or Chroma1-Flash instead. Those are separate successor checkpoints.

The original model card documents a ComfyUI workflow with a Chroma checkpoint, a T5 XXL text encoder and a FLUX VAE. Quantized alternatives can reduce memory requirements, but the exact setup depends on the selected checkpoint and runtime. The original card lists Diffusers support as work in progress, so use the documented ComfyUI route or check current runtime compatibility before deployment.

The weights are distributed in Safetensors format and use Apache 2.0, which permits use, modification and redistribution under its terms. The model is designed to generate unrestricted content and carries a sensitive-content designation; it may produce images unsuitable for all audiences.
