Krea 2 Medium debuts at #6 on the Artificial Analysis Text to Image Leaderboard, trailing only models from OpenAI, Google, and NVIDIA! Krea 2 is @krea_ai's first image model family trained entirely from scratch (Krea 1 was developed in collaboration with Black Forest Labs). Krea 2 is available in two variants: Krea 2 Medium, and Krea 2 Large, which is more comparable to FLUX.2 [pro] in our arena. Notably, Krea 2 Medium outranks the larger, more expensive Krea 2 Large in our arena. Krea describes Medium as smaller and faster, with extensive post-training that makes its outputs especially stable and consistent across generations. While Large is positioned as the more capable model, our leaderboard results align with Krea's view that Medium "handles the broadest range of use cases reliably." Both models generate at 1K resolution and share a distinct set of generation controls via the API: ➤ Style transfer: Krea can extract the style of up to 10 reference images, with each image being able to be weighted in terms of importance ➤ Creativity Setting: A configurable API parameter (raw, low, medium, high) that sets how closely the model follows the prompt versus reinterpreting it ➤ Moodboards: A collection of images that can be collected in the application to apply a style transfer onto the image (separate from individual style reference images) At $30 per 1k images via Krea's API, Krea 2 Medium is priced below comparable models such as Nano Banana Pro at $134/1k images or grok-imagine-image-quality at $50/1k images. Krea 2 Large is priced at $60 per 1k images, and both models' prices increase with the use of the Style Transfer and Moodboard features. Both models are available in the Krea app, via Krea's API, and on official third-party launch partners. Congratulations to @krea_ai on the launch!
