| Summary | Chroma is an open-weight, Apache 2.0-licensed text-to-image foundation model from lodestones, built as a de-distilled derivative of FLUX.1 [schnell] with 8.9B parameters. It is designed as a neutral, unaestheticized base model intended for fine-tuning rather than direct end-user image generation. | Balanced Claude model for coding and agents. |
