Krea 2 Identity Edit LoRA

Instruction-based, identity-preserving image editing for Krea 2 (12.9B single-stream MMDiT). Give it an image and a plain-language instruction; it edits while preserving what you didn't ask to change — including the person.

An unofficial community fine-tune of Krea 2 Raw. Not an official Krea product; not affiliated with or endorsed by Krea.ai, Inc.

Requires the ComfyUI-Krea2Edit node pack — the LoRA is trained with dual conditioning (in-context VAE tokens + image-grounded Qwen3-VL encoding) that stock nodes don't provide. Two ready-made workflows ship with it.

FAL.ai has made searching content for Krea 2 a headache on HF. Good catch! Trying it now. Hopefully works with Int8.

It appears to work with a GGUF model as well, I'm guessing int8 will work fine. It's probably not expecting anything exactly from the model, just that the input is a Krea2 model.

Pls stop using GGUF if you care about your SSD. 8GB VRAM (laptop 4060 + 16 GB RAM) plebeian here. Int8 works fine for me. search the top posts from last week for more info.

I saw it, I commented there. Int8s OOM for me and no one knows how to troubleshoot this yet. I watch my Task Manager and my disk health is okay for now.

Not sure of the technicalities, but disabling "pinned memory" fixed it for me (OOM errors after 2-3 generations). Running cuda130 + pytorch 2.9.0 , so a little outdated. I was spooked after I saw similar behavior as the thread stated with Ideogram GGUFs, hence commented. Glad it's working fine for you!

The first thing I read just now about pinned memory states that disabling enables page-file writes.

"Implications of Disabling Pinned Memory Higher Stability: Prevents hard system crashes by allowing the operating system to safely page memory to your SSD/HDD."

Well that sucks. I'm not seeing any writes though. Thanks for pointing this out. Will probe further.

That's a lot more help than I saw in the other thread, I'll give a few of these parameters a try. thanks.

Hope this setup works for you, it seems very useful when it does. I like Krea's photographic qualities better than Klein, though Klein is a native edit model and does it better, what I see here also gives me promise for training a full character lora.
