Krea 2 Large (on the website and api) was trained with the FLUX 2 VAE, if you want to test it out and push realism. After working with both I think the flux VAE has a slight edge in learning realistic textures but it's smaller than you might think, the Qwen VAE was overall very good in ablations and good at learning to produce a diverse set of styles.
You can't be serious. What good is a model if the generations look always slightly out of focus? One easy task if it's as close as you say: Produce one sharp image that is not an illustration.
Edit: your account has unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines like this in other places as well (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48567675). Can you please fix this? I don't want to ban you, but we've already had to ask you this before.
Definitely encourage you to test the models. We tried to optimize for realistic focus and not over-sharpening, which leads to a "hyper" AI-look.
It's hard to benchmark because people generally prefer sharp, saturated orangish pictures all else equal, but I believe these are bad shortcuts for the model to learn realism.
Is my taste the problem, or am I simply holding it wrong? The qwen VAE's shortcomings are well documented, and Krea 2 produces the same blurry, airbrushed output as qwen image. Between the chaotic release and every interaction I've had with your team, I've grown to genuinely dislike your platform/company. Good luck.
There is a lot of discourse about it on Reddit. Check the AMA link I put in the comment above for learning more. The basics is it wasn’t released when we started and we use it for internal models and hope to do further open source releases.
Even taking into account all their fuckups majority of their content is accurate and well sourced. I dont know why people do this thing where they point to a few instances and then extrapolate that out.
They literally paused uploading videos because they had an insane amount of wrong data in their videos. It got better for a few months when they decided to slow down video releases but now they are back at it. I dont know why people do this thing where they ignore factual data because they like a creator.
Name a single aspect of something modern like the Transformer architecture or how it is trained, that is even indirectly attributable to Schmidhuber.
No doubt he'd be jumping up and down wanting to take credit for residual connections, but where was Schmidhuber in the ImageNet era when everyone else was discovering how to build deep neural nets? Why didn't Schmidhuber invent ResNets, but instead waited until someone else (Kaiming He) did, then claim credit for it?
I'll bet Schmidhuber isn't done with yet ... when someone eventually comes up with an architecture for AGI, Schmidhuber will come out of the woodwork and point to a note he made on a napkin in 1800 that predicted it all.
It's annoying but ok in general to verify age of your users. The problem for me is mainly how and what vendor they use. They picked the worst possibilities.
June 8: A Gulfstream G200 crashed while landing at La Romana International in the DR, it was on the way to pick up former MLB player Yadier Molina, but it had to make an emergency landing. Both pilots, the only occupants, died.
June 10: A Pakistan Army Aviation Mi-17 helicopter crashed near Muzaffarabad. All 22 on board perished.
June 11: Turkish Airlines Flight TK2430, a Boeing 777-300ER, collided with a ground radar antenna while taxiing to its gate after landing at Antalya Airport when the aircraft turned onto a taxiway too small for 777's. Despite the damage to the aircraft, only 1 of 267 souls aboard were injured.
June 11: United Airlines Flight 1275, a Boeing 737, was delayed after a swarm of bees stuck to its right wing. The pilots decided to take off with the insects still on said wing; they all cleared off once the aircraft got airborne. No bees entered the aircraft and no injuries were reported.

June 12: SriLankan Airlines Flight UL-606, an Airbus A330, had its engine struck by lightning just after takeoff from Colombo International; the plane landed safely and no injuries were reported.
June 13: Singapore Airlines Flight SQ114, a Boeing 737-800, suffered burst tires upon landing at Kuala Lumper International; the plane managed to stop on the runway, and no injuries were reported.
June 13: An Indian Air Force An-32 crashed while attempting to land Jorhat Air Force Base in Assam. 5 of the 6 people on board died, with the co-pilot, as of writing, claimed to have been the only survivor.
June 13: A US Marine Corp F/A-18 Hornet Crashed in Washington State near Rimlock Lake. The pilot safely ejected and survived.
June 14: Two helicopters collided mid-air over Brazil. All six people on board both helicopters perished, including American songwriter and rapper, Oliver Tree.

June 14: A Piper PA-28, N15564, crashed shortly after takeoff from Key West, Florida. Initially, 5 people were reported to be on board, but it was found out that only 2 people were; both survived.
June 14: Delta Airlines Flight 2905, a Boeing 737-900, collided with a catering truck at Seattle-Tacoma International; no injuries were reported.
June 15: A Russian Tu-22 bomber crashed in Siberia during a training flight. As of writing, everyone on board has been reported to have ejected and survived.
June 15: A Pakistan Air Force trainer aircraft crashed in Pakistan's Mardan district. As of writing, both of the pilots were killed, and at least three motorists were injured.
June 15: A Van's RV-3A crashed into a cow field about 15 miles north of Lakeland, FL. The pilot was killed.
There were some more in the last three days as well...
Looks like a lot. Is it always like that, or were the last two weeks really that special?
One thing that sticks out is that GA (small), but also military, planes' accidents usually end with deaths and big planes accidents usually end with everything being fine.
You’ll hear about deadly small plane accidents, and about accidents of large planes, but are unlikely to hear about harmless accidents with small planes. Just not interesting. But they happen all the time.
Wow, thanks a lot! I kind of knew things like that happen (one instance of a thing happening brings attention to other similar things), but didn't know it actually had a name.
Thank you. I really like knowing precise names for things, because it gives me a feeling of correctness and satisfaction.
