Krea 2 Turbo — the libwaifu package

Krea 2 Turbo, converted to the package format libwaifu reads. The same weights drawing the same pictures; a different file layout and a narrower dtype.

By downloading these files you agree to the Krea 2 Community License Agreement, a copy of which is distributed here as LICENSE.pdf, and to the Acceptable Use Policy. Commercial use is permitted only under the revenue threshold in §2.3 of that agreement, and §4.2 requires a deployment of these weights to carry content filtering.

This is a modified copy — see NOTICE for what was changed — and it is not an official Krea product and is not endorsed by Krea. The original weights are at krea/Krea-2-Turbo.

What is here

Either one carries the whole model: the denoiser, the language half of the Qwen3-VL text encoder, the Qwen-Image autoencoder, and the tokenizer. Nothing else has to be fetched to draw.

Drawing with it

waifu draw -m krea2-turbo.yaml

or from Rust:

let manifest = Manifest::open("krea2-turbo.yaml")?;
let model = Krea2::from_manifest(Device::Cuda, Residency::Device, &manifest)?;
let image = model.generate("a red fox sitting in fresh snow", &options)?;

It is distilled for eight steps at no guidance. The package says so in its suggested: block, and the thirty steps at guidance five that SDXL likes give a burnt picture here for four times the work.

How close it is to the original

Measured against diffusers' Krea2Pipeline on the same weights, with every input taken off one real eight-step trajectory rather than from torch.randn:

For the float16 package those are what the two float types disagree by and little else: the reference's own float16-against-bfloat16 run moves the same denoising step by 3.51e-2, and at full width on the processor the autoencoder agrees with the reference to 1.9e-6.

The fp8 package is not free. It costs about five times the error in the text encoder, and its eight-step trajectory ends somewhere measurably different — the same scene, drawn a little differently. Take it when the card is the constraint, not when the picture is.

docs/krea2.md in the libwaifu repository has the full table, the control each number is read against, and what is easy to get wrong in this architecture.
