Krea 2
Image GenerationOpen-source frontier image generation model — Krea 2 Raw for LoRA training and Krea 2 Turbo for 2-second inference at 2K resolution.
About Krea 2
Krea 2 is Krea AI's first foundation image model built completely from scratch, featuring a 12-billion-parameter Diffusion Transformer trained on billions of real images with no synthetic data in the pretraining mix. It ranks #1 among independent lab text-to-image models on Artificial Analysis and #6 globally on the text-to-image leaderboard. Released as open weights under a custom license, Krea 2 ships as two complementary checkpoints: Krea 2 Raw (undistilled mid-training checkpoint for LoRA training and research) and Krea 2 Turbo (8-step distilled inference engine that runs LoRAs at 2K resolution in just 2 seconds). Both versions support style references, moodboards, and LoRA fine-tuning.
Key Features

✓ Pros
- +Ranked #1 text-to-image model by independent lab (Artificial Analysis)
- +Open weights — no vendor lock-in, full transparency
- +Turbo variant generates images in 2 seconds — among fastest available
- +Raw and Turbo work together for efficient LoRA training workflows
- +Style references and moodboards provide superior creative control
- +No synthetic data in pretraining ensures authentic output quality
✕ Cons
- −Enterprise license required for firms with 50+ seats
- −Mandatory content filtering — deployers must implement safeguards
- −Turbo sacrifices some style fidelity for speed (Medium/Large still stronger)
- −New model family — limited community ecosystem vs. Stable Diffusion
- −Custom license terms may restrict some commercial use cases
