Krea 2 GGUF
Krea 2 is a 12B diffusion transformer for high-fidelity image generation and design. It uses layerwise and refiner text-fusion blocks and is not based on Flux. This repository ships GGUF quants of the Raw and Turbo checkpoints.

Prompt: A seaside beach in the autumn from above. In the foreground there is a seagull flying. A text 'Krea2 GGUF'. Deep indigo and teal palette, minimalist surrealism, high-angle aerial perspective, atmospheric gradient, poignant isolation, liminal space

Model Input and Output
Checkpoints
| Checkpoint | Steps | CFG | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo | 4 to 8 | 0.0 | Distilled, no CFG. Fast. |
| Raw | 20 to 30 | 3.0 to 7.0 | Full CFG, more control, slower. |
Outputs
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Output | Image |
| Architecture | Single transformer, no unconditional component |
ComfyUI Setup
Load the model with the GGUF loader node from comfyui-gguf-reboot. The loader node gives the best performance. The plain city96 node pack does not support the Krea 2 architecture.
Dependencies
Place these files in the ComfyUI model folders before running a workflow. You also need the text encoder and VAE from the upstream Krea 2 release.
| Component | Folder |
|---|---|
| Diffusion transformer | models/diffusion_models/ or models/unet/ |
| Text encoder | models/clip/ or text_encoders/ |
| VAE | models/vae/ |
Krea 2 has no workflow files in this repository. Use the ComfyUI template from the upstream Krea 2 release and swap in the GGUF loader node.
