Krea AI has dropped open weights for its Krea 2 text-to-image model, a 12B-parameter Diffusion Transformer, giving developers immediate access to two distinct checkpoints on Hugging Face under a community license. The Raw variant arrives as an undistilled mid-training checkpoint suited for further fine-tuning and LoRA work, while the Turbo version ships distilled for quick 8-step inference at higher resolutions.
today, we release the open weights of Krea 2.
welcome Krea 2 Raw and Krea 2 Turbo, an undistilled model from mid-training meant to be fine-tuned, and a fast distilled version with a wide aesthetic diversity.

Creators and researchers can now start from the malleable base that still requires full sampling and CFG, opening direct paths for post-training experiments without starting from scratch.
The distilled checkpoint supports polished outputs in fewer steps with CFG disabled, letting teams test aesthetic variations and integrate the model into existing pipelines like ComfyUI or SGLang right away.
Many users celebrated Krea AI's release of open weights for Krea 2 Raw and Turbo models as a major win for open-source communities and local AI development.

we are releasing two versions of our foundation image model: Krea 2 Raw and Krea 2 Turbo.
combined, they bring unprecedented opportunities for fine-tuning, post-training, and working with diverse aesthetics.
the core idea is: train on Raw, generate with Turbo.
🎉 Meet Krea 2 from @krea_ai, an aesthetic open-source image model ranked #1 text-to-image from an independent lab on @ArtificialAnlys. Day-0 support is now live in SGLang!
Krea 2 ships as two models built to work together: 1️⃣ RAW: undistilled base checkpoint: diverse & malleable, made for fine-tuning, post-training & LoRA 2️⃣ Turbo: 8-step distilled checkpoint: fast, high-quality text-to-image Train LoRAs on RAW, run them on Turbo: base for training, Turbo for fast inference on your own hardware
Run it now with SGLang!

Krea 2 Raw is an undistilled model from mid-training stage that we created while training Krea 2 Medium.
The lack of distillation, fine-tuning, or post-training make it an ideal model to build on.
Krea 2 Turbo is a distilled and post-trained version of Krea 2 Medium.
This model can produce imagery in a wide range of aesthetics fast at 2k native resolution, and it can run in consumer hardware.
@krea_ai
@krea_ai Wow weights are bf16+fp32 mixed nice
@krea_ai huge 🔥
@krea_ai Krea 2 raw and turbo open weights. Fine tuning is about to get interesting.
@krea_ai Thanks for the release.
@krea_ai lfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@krea_ai 🔥🔥
@krea_ai Amazing news
@viccpoes @krea_ai 🔥
Krea 2 Turbo는 증류(distilled)된 빠른 모델로 2K에서 8스텝 추론이 가능해 실시간에 가까운 생성을 지원합니다.
하지만 '그리면서 즉시 AI가 반응하는 실시간 드로잉' 경험은 Krea 플랫폼의 전용 **Realtime** 도구(라이브 캔버스)에서 가장 잘 작동해요.
오픈 웨이트로 로컬 실행 시 Turbo로 빠르게 테스트 가능하지만, 완벽한 인터랙티브 실시간은 http://krea.ai/realtime 에서 직접 확인해보세요! 🚀
@viccpoes these models are really good. will fine-tune one soon!
Krea 2 Turbo 장점 (다른 터보 모델 대비):
• **2K 네이티브 해상도** + 8스텝 증류로 고해상도 빠른 생성 (소비자 GPU 실용적) • **폭넓은 aesthetic diversity** – Krea가 특화한 다양한 예술 스타일·무드 표현에 강함 • 12B DiT 기반 포스트트레이닝으로 창의적 워크플로우(스타일 ref, 무드보드) 최적화 • 오픈웨이트 + 상업 이용 유연한 커뮤니티 라이선스
SD Turbo 계열보다 해상도·스타일 범위에서 앞서고, Raw 버전과 함께 파인튜닝도 쉬워요.
플랫폼 Realtime 캔버스에서 쓰면 실시간 드로잉 경험이 제일 부드럽습니다! HF에서 바로 테스트해보세요 🚀
