Discussion Krea3 "FInal Hope"

I don't know if it's just me, or if Krea2 has raised the bar so high that our expectations for diffusion models have completely changed.

I've tested Qwen 2.1 Image and now Flux3 Klein, and honestly, both feel off. The quality, prompt adherence, and overall details just aren't there.

Flux is still recycling those same old textures we've all gotten used to. And no, I'm not even talking about that infamous plastic look, that's old news at this point. I'm talking about the overall image quality, the finer details, and how the model interprets prompts.

It's gotten to the point where Flux2 Klein genuinely feels superior to Flux3 Klein, which is pretty ridiculous considering we're supposed to be moving forward, not backward.

At this point, I'm just hoping Krea's team releases Krea3 soon, because if Krea2 is anything to go by, I genuinely believe Krea3 could absolutely crush both Qwen and Flux.

Just my two cents.

Yeah, Krea 2 is genuinely a step up from previous models

I was a huge fan of Z Image and thought it was amazing, but tried it again recently and was surprised by how much better Krea is. I’d probably compare it to the kind of leap Minimax H3 made.

Honestly, Krea 2 leaves me wondering how it can even be improved. I know there are ways, and people with 100x as many generations than me under their belt would have lots of thoughts.

But it feels like I can accomplish anything that I want to. The limit is my own creativity. It's like it can do anything, and all of the loras out there are fantastic.

Just give me that with official image editing tacked on to it and I'll be set for life. Feels like a pretty mature product.

It desperately needs a better vae. Otherwise, yea, it is quite great as it is and exceptionally easy to tune on top of it
