alt Hacker NewsHi HN, we're releasing weights for our latest text to image model and publishing this writeup on how we trained it in quite a bit of depth.
I hope there is something in the report for everyone, we included a fair bit on the actual training and data infrastructure usually not written about much, that I think will be interesting to people here. There's more that didn't fit, happy to answer questions!

What is Krea's approach to content such as pornography and gore? It's been frustrating to see all of the leading models take a very hard line on excluding vice content, even when it is perfectly legal, in the name of safety.
Neat! Between Ideogram4, Flux2, Qwen-Image, ZiT, and Krea - there's been a lot of positive movement in the open-weights space.
The original Flux.1 Krea is actually in my GenAI Showdown benchmark site from all the way back in July of last year (which feels like a lifetime in this space), so I’m looking forward to putting this new one through its paces.
This is a massive technical report for an open weights image gen model. As someone who has followed this space closely, it’s really cool to read about the behind-the-scenes experimentation and effort that went into the final product. I hope you will release some of the find tuning tools so the community can experiment with them as well and really push what the model’s capable of.
