We just open-sourced Krea 2, our text-to-image image model.

We at Krea are striving to build with the community, so we figured we would do an AMA!

Feel free to ask us questions on how we trained the model, what’s coming next, what you want to see, etc and we will answer!

Hey everyone,

We're the team behind Krea, and today we're launching Krea 2, our new text-to-image model. Krea 2 is the most aesthetic open-source image model available. On quality, Krea 2 is the #1 text-to-image model from an independent lab on Artificial Analysis.

We are releasing Krea 2 as two variants:

Krea 2 Raw. CFG-guided, built for control and fidelity and training.

Krea 2 Turbo. Distilled and few-step, so it's fast, and it renders up to 2K.

A few things worth knowing:

It's tuned for natural language. Prompt it the way you'd describe an image to a person. Long, specific prompts give the best results, but short ones work fine too.

To render text in an image, wrap the words in quotes, like a sign that reads "open late".
There's a growing set of style LoRAs, and you can load any Krea 2 LoRA by its Hugging Face path.
Try it today:

AMA: We're doing an AMA right here today at 10 AM PT. Ask us anything: how we trained it, the LoRAs, prompting, limitations, what's next. The krea team will be in the comments.

Livestream: we are also doing a livestream with the ComfyUI team at 3PM PT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31jiUhCEjJ4

Thanks for taking a look. We'd genuinely love your feedback, rough edges included.
