Hello everyone.
I’m the Co-founder and CTO of Krea. We’re excited because we wanted to release the weights for our model and share it with the HN community for a long time.
My team and I will try to be online and try to answer any questions you may have throughout the day.
Any plans to get into working with the Flux 'Kontext' version, the editing models? I think the use cases of such prompted image editing is just wildly huge. Their demo blew my mind, although I haven't seen the quality of the open weight version yet. It is also a 12B distill.
Hi. Thanks for this. What is your goal of doing so? From a business standpoint. Or is it purely altruistic?
Haha-classic!
It’s simple: hackability and recruiting!
The open-source community hacking around it and playing with it PLUS talented engineers who may be interested in working with us already makes this release worth it. A single talented distributed systems engineer has a lot of impact here.
Also, the company ethos is around AI hackability/controllability, high-bar for talent, and AI for creatives - so this aligns perfectly.
The fact that Krea serves both in-house and 3rd-Party models tells you that we are not that bullish on models being a moat.
I can say that it's definitely working on me! I hadn't heard of Krea before, and this is a great introduction to your work. Thanks for sharing it.

I need model for other language than english
Regarding the P(.|photo) vs P(.|minimal) example, how do you actually decide this conflict? It seems to me that photorealism should be a strong default "bias".
My reasoning: If the user types in "a cat reading a book" then it seems obvious that the result should look like a real cat which is actually reading a book. So it obviously shouldn't have an "AI style", but it also shouldn't produce something that looks like an illustration or painting or otherwise unrealistic. Without further context, a "cat" is a photorealistic cat, not an illustration or painting or cartoon of a cat.
In short, it seems that users who want something other than realism should be expected to mention it in the prompt. Or am I missing some other nuances here?
