About

Krea 2 is the first foundation image model built entirely from scratch by Krea, launched May 27, 2026. It is a 12.9-billion-parameter diffusion transformer deliberately tuned away from the generic polished look toward expressive, raw, and experimental aesthetics, giving users precise control over the look, feel, and creative direction of each image.

It ships in two variants: Krea 2 Raw, undistilled for fine-tuning, and Krea 2 Turbo, an 8-step distilled variant that renders 2K images in about 2 seconds. The model is open source and available to developers through fal as an official launch API partner, with Medium-tier generations starting at $0.030 per image. Verify the exact license on the model card before commercial self-hosting.
