Krea 2: Open-Source Image Model Lands
Krea AI just released the full inference code and weights for Krea 2 — an open-source image generation model that ranks first on Artificial Analysis' text-to-image benchmark, available in a Raw variant for fine-tuning and a fast Turbo variant that generates in 8 steps.
Official inference code and open weights for Krea 2, a text-to-image model trained from scratch by Krea AI. The repo ships two checkpoints: Raw (the full-capacity base model suited for fine-tuning and LoRA training) and Turbo (a distilled variant that generates images in just 8 steps). Artificial Analysis ranks it first among text-to-image models as of June 2026.
Why a vibe-coder should care
Having the actual model weights means you can run Krea 2 locally, fine-tune it on your own visual style, or plug it straight into ComfyUI — no API waitlist, no per-image fees. The Apache 2.0 license makes commercial use straightforward.
