# 🔮 Cryptid Cannon

A deliberately silly [Build Small](https://huggingface.co/build-small-hackathon)
toy. Press the button, summon a random absurd cryptid — a marshmallow golem mid-
sneeze, a Victorian frog detective drinking tea — rendered by **FLUX.2 [klein]
4B** (4 billion parameters, Apache 2.0, ~1s per image on the Space GPU).

Leave the box empty for pure chaos, or whisper your own creature.

This is a quick smoke-test of the deploy pipeline — not a serious competition
entry. Built on the [klein starter](https://huggingface.co/spaces/stephenbtl/klein-build-small-starter).

**Model:** [`FLUX.2-klein-4B`](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-4B)
· well under the hackathon's 32B cap (and under 4B-badge territory).
