To use Flux-2-Klein-9b, install the OpenAI SDK (any language), point base_url at https://api.aigateway.sh/v1 with an sk-aig-... key, and set model="black-forest-labs/flux-2-klein-9b". That's it — no provider account, no separate billing. Black Forest Labs's model is served through AIgateway's OpenAI-compatible endpoint so every existing OpenAI integration (Cursor, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK) works unchanged.
Sign in at aigateway.sh with GitHub or Google, open the dashboard, and copy an sk-aig-... key. No credit card required to claim a key — the free tier is 100 requests/day on Kimi K2.6 so you can test end-to-end before you upgrade.
Every OpenAI client library ships with a base_url (Python) or baseURL (Node) field. Set it to https://api.aigateway.sh/v1 and drop in your sk-aig-... key. Nothing else in your application code needs to change — the request and response schemas are OpenAI-identical.
On your chat.completions.create call (or images, embeddings, audio — whichever endpoint matches the image modality), pass model="black-forest-labs/flux-2-klein-9b". AIgateway handles provider auth, billing, retries, and transformation so Black Forest Labs-specific quirks don't leak into your code.

console.log(img.data[0].url);No. AIgateway provides a unified sk-aig-... key that routes to Black Forest Labs on your behalf. You only need an AIgateway account.
Flux-2-Klein-9b does not support tool calling natively. Use it for generation; route tool-calling prompts to a model like Claude Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-5.4.
Context window details for Flux-2-Klein-9b are on the spec page at /models/black-forest-labs/flux-2-klein-9b.
AIgateway's free tier gives 100 requests/day on Kimi K2.6. Other models (including Flux-2-Klein-9b if it isn't Kimi K2.6) require a $5 top-up, then pass-through pricing.
Yes — anything that speaks OpenAI's API shape works. Set base_url to https://api.aigateway.sh/v1, paste your AIgateway key, and set the model string. Cursor, Cline, Continue, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK all supported.
