- text: A small, dark-colored cat is captured mid-stride, walking down the center
    of a narrow, abandoned street. The street is paved and appears cracked and worn.
    On either side of the street are tall, dilapidated buildings with visible brickwork
    and windows. A street lamp stands on the right side. The entire image is rendered
    in a monochromatic blue, with a distinct halftone dot pattern overlaying the scene,
    giving it a retro or printed appearance. The focus is soft, and the lighting is
    diffused, creating a hazy, atmospheric effect. The perspective is from ground
    level, looking down the length of the street, which narrows into the distance.,

    a young boy and a dog in an abstract indoor setting. The boy, with short brown
    hair and wearing a white t-shirt and dark shorts, is seated at a light-colored
    table. He is leaning over the table, looking down at papers or books. His face
    is rendered with a soft, somewhat blurry effect. To the right of the table, a
    tan, long-haired dog with large ears is lying on a red surface, possibly a rug
    or blanket. The dog''s head is resting on the surface, and its eyes are closed,
    suggesting it is asleep. Its face is also rendered with a soft, somewhat distorted
    effect. The background features reddish-pink walls and a hint of a window or doorway
    on the left, with a hazy, abstract purple area. Scattered around the scene are
    various pixelated elements: a blue floppy disk icon, a yellow star icon, a green
    star icon, a blue thumbs-up icon, and a small black pixelated object near the
    boy''s feet. The overall style is reminiscent of early computer graphics or video
    games, with a limited color palette and a focus on simple, blocky shapes. The
    composition is somewhat chaotic, with elements overlapping and a lack of clear
    spatial depth. The lighting is artificial and creates strong shadows, particularly
    on the table and the boy., low-poly 3D models'

    composition as the character leans forward, one leg raised high. The jester wears
    a classic multi-pointed hat with bells, a ruffled collar, puffed sleeves, harlequin-patterned
    shorts in muted gold and dark brown, and striped tights in alternating shades
    of purple, blue, and chartreuse. A heavily textured, flowing cape billows outward
    to the left, decorated with abstract, fluid patterns of saturated purples, greens,
    and iridescent hues resembling oil slicks or marbled paper. The figure's face
    is completely obscured, appearing as a smooth, faceless, pale mauve mask with
    a single, glowing bright white point of light in the center. In its right hand,
    clad in a grey-blue gauntlet, the jester grips a massive, ornate sword with a
    wide, glowing, ethereal white blade, its crossguard intricately sculpted. Lighting

## Model Overview

- **Model Name:** Krea 2
- **Version:** v1.0
- **Release Date:** June 22, 2026
- **Model Type:** Text-to-image diffusion model
- **Architecture:** Diffusion Transformer with 12 billion parameters
- **License:** Krea 2 Community License
- **Release Format:** Open-weight release and Krea-hosted product integrations
- **Model Developer:** Krea.ai, Inc.

## Model Family and Release Checkpoints

This model card covers the Krea 2 model family, including the following release checkpoints:

- **Krea 2 Raw:** Base release checkpoint, prior to additional post-training and fine-tuning.
- **Krea 2 Turbo:** Post-trained release checkpoint with additional fine-tuning and distillation.

## 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.

## Reporting

To report harmful, illegal, or policy-violating outputs generated by this model:
