Krea 2 Text-to-Image Model

This is the Krea 2 Raw checkpoint, its not recommended for inference use. Its a good base for finetuning or post-training for your own needs and domains. For example, one use-case is to train LoRAs on midtrain and directly use them on Krea 2 Turbo. See our collection of in-house trained LoRAs trained on Raw and meant to be used with Turbo: Krea-2 LoRA Collection

Inference with the official codebase

Setup the official Krea 2 codebase
Download raw.safetensors in this repo

export OSS_RAW=<path-to-raw.safetensors> Run inference:

uv run inference.py "a fox walking in the snow" \
 --checkpoint oss_raw --steps 52 --cfg 3.5 --width 1024 --height 1024

Inference with diffusers

Install diffusers from source (for Krea2Pipeline):

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers.git

import torch
from diffusers import Krea2Pipeline

pipe = Krea2Pipeline.from_pretrained("krea/Krea-2-Raw", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")
image = pipe("a fox in the snow", num_inference_steps=52, guidance_scale=3.5).images[0]
image.save("krea2.png")

Inference with SGLang

Install SGLang from source (https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang)

From the CLI:

sglang generate --model-path krea/Krea-2-Raw \
    --prompt "a red fox sitting in fresh snow, golden hour, photorealistic" \
    --num-inference-steps 52 --height 1024 --width 1024 --guidance-scale 3.5 --save-output

Capabilities and Intended use

Krea 2 is a text-to-image diffusion model that generates images from natural-language text descriptions. The model is designed to support creative, commercial, developer, and research use cases, including image generation, concepting, design exploration, visual production workflows, and integration into applications and creative tools.

Out-of-Scope Uses

This model is not intended or designed for uses that violate applicable law or regulations, infringe or misappropriate third-party rights, generate or facilitate unlawful or harmful content (including CSAM, NCII, harassment or defamation), or support fully automated decision-making that adversely affects legal rights of individuals. This summary is non-exhaustive. Use of Krea 2 is subject to the Krea 2 Community License Agreement and must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. In the event of any conflict, the Krea Acceptable Use Policy and Krea 2 Community License control.

Training Data

This model was developed using a combination of publicly available data, data licensed from third-party providers, and synthetic data generated through proprietary methods. The training data includes images and their associated captions or text descriptions.

Prior to training, data was filtered to remove certain categories of harmful content and reduce low-quality, duplicative, or irrelevant data. Krea also used curated and synthetic training data selected to improve prompt following, visual quality, and alignment with intended use cases.

Safety Measures

We implemented safety measures across the full model development lifecycle. We applied targeted fine-tuning techniques to reduce the model's susceptibility to generating harmful content in response to both direct and adversarial prompts, and we conducted multiple rounds of internal and external safety evaluation before release.

For Krea's hosted products incorporating Krea 2, we deploy input and output classifiers using a combination of proprietary and third-party detection tools to flag or block policy-violating prompts and generated images.

Because this is also an open-weights release, Krea does not control downstream deployment of the model. Under the Krea 2 Community License, deployers are required to implement content filtering measures or equivalent review processes to prevent the generation or distribution of unlawful or policy-violating content appropriate to their use case. Deployers who fail to implement required safeguards are in breach of the license. See the license for details.

We conducted multiple rounds of internal and external safety evaluations before release, including adversarial testing designed to assess the model's resilience to attempts to elicit harmful or policy-violating outputs. Testing covered sexually explicit content, non-consensual intimate imagery, child-safety risks, and other high-risk content categories. Based on these evaluations, the release checkpoints demonstrated high resilience against violative inputs across the tested risk categories.

Krea maintains reporting channels for harmful, illegal, or policy-violating outputs at safety@krea.ai. Reports involving potential CSAM are escalated to NCMEC as required by law. Krea reserves the right to update model weights or revoke access in response to identified misuse patterns.

Risks and Limitations

Krea 2 is a new technology and there are risks associated with its use. Testing conducted to date has not covered, nor could it cover, all possible scenarios. The model's potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance and may, in some instances, produce inaccurate, objectionable, or otherwise undesirable outputs.

This model is not intended to provide factual information. The model may fail to generate output that matches the prompt, and prompt following may be influenced by prompt style, specificity, language, and phrasing.

Before deploying any application using this model, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific application and must implement safeguards required by the Krea 2 Community License.

License and Outputs

Krea does not claim copyright or other intellectual property rights over content generated by users of this model. Users are solely responsible for their outputs and any subsequent use of those outputs. As with other generative tools, the nature of a user's inputs influences the outputs produced, and prompts may produce images that implicate third-party rights. Users are solely responsible for assessing and addressing those risks. See the Krea 2 Community License for more information.
