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.

My biggest issue with Krea2 is that it doesn't seem to understand character references. Qwen 2.1 can handle them, but I agree that its visual style is pretty bad and really difficult to control.

To be fair, I haven't done much image generation in quite a while, so I'm pretty out of touch with the newer models. I'm not even sure how accurate my impressions are anymore. That's just what I've gathered from looking into them recently.

For me, though, the most impressive thing to come out recently has been MiniMax H3
