Krea 2: Krea's first from-scratch foundation image model
Krea released Krea 2, its first foundation image model trained from scratch, built over six to seven months by nearly half the company. It focuses on aesthetic diversity, style control with up to 4 reference images, and moodboard-driven workflows, generating images in roughly 15 seconds. Co-founder and CEO Victor Perez joined the show to walk through it.
Krea open-sources a 14B real-time video generation model
Krea AI open-sourced a 14-billion-parameter real-time video model, with weights on Hugging Face. It joins the week's clear trend of generative video racing toward live, interactive experiences rather than offline rendering.
