Can you point to a URL with the tests you’ve done?
Also, FWIW, this model focus was around aesthetics rather than strict prompt adherence. Not to excuse the bad samples, but to emphasize what was one of the research goals.
It’s a thorny trade-off, but an important one if one wants to get rid of what’s sometimes known as “the flux look”.
Re: Wan 2.2 I’ve also been reading of people commenting about using Wan 2.2 for base generation and Krea for the refiner pass which I thought was interesting.
The Image Showdown site actually does have Flux Krea images but they're hidden by default. If you open up the "Customize Models" dialog you can compare them against other Flux models (Flux.1 Dev and Kontext).

Agreed - whereas these tests are really focused on various GenAI image models ability to follow complicated prompts and are not as concerned with overall visual fidelity.
Regarding the "flux look" I'd be interested to see if Krea addresses both the waxy skin look AND the omnipresent shallow depth of field.
