Re:Releasing Open Weights for FLUX.1 Krea on Thursday July 31, 2025 @04:17PM (#44749671)
hey hn! I'm one of the founders at Krea.

we prepared a blogpost about how we trained FLUX Krea if you're interested in learning more: https://www.krea.ai/blog/flux-krea-open-source-release

how will this change with ai though?
Re:Real-time image editing using latent consistency models on Friday November 10, 2023 @06:04PM (#38225773)
it would be interesting to play with LCM-LoRAs and AnimateDiff and see how much much this technique can speed up video generation.

not sure if it's possible to just plug-and-play it or if we would need an extra LCM-LoRA for the motion module.

once we have these sort of models producing frames in milliseconds we should be able to do something similar to this demo but with videos.

Re:Real-time image editing using latent consistency models on Friday November 10, 2023 @05:59PM (#38225719)
indeed; we're able to make it work with SDXL thanks to a new technique that got released yesterday called LCM-LoRA.

with LCM-LoRA you can turn models like SDXL into LCMs without need for training and you can add other style LoRAs like the ones you find on civit.ai

in case you're interested, here's the technical report about LCM-LoRA: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.05556

Re:Real-time image editing using latent consistency models on Friday November 10, 2023 @03:19PM (#38223986)
it uses a new technique called "consistency" that lets latent diffusion models to predict images in much fewer steps.

Re:What is ControlNet and how does it work? on Friday February 17, 2023 @03:01PM (#34839702)
Here's a brief explanation of ControlNet, a new method that can be used to control large diffusion models in arbitrary conditions, such as image edges, human poses, or segmentation maps.
really cool! that must have been a lot of work. Here's another great site for references: https://proximacentaurib.notion.site/proximacentaurib/parrot...
Good question. All the generations in the dataset were generated with version 1.3.
yup! btw, if you want compressed generators you'll enjoy this discussion https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/decoding-latents-to-rgb-wit...
in krea.ai you can create collections of images with their prompts by pressing the "+" button in an image.

you also have access to all the different components that create each prompt, and you can search similar ones by clicking them.

Stable Diffusion was released just a month ago and look at the amount of applications and improvements that have been developed, it feels like a year!

Open-source is the way to get the most out of this tech. We plan to keep building all the features that are to come at krea.ai in this way.

We're living some crazy times! A truly AI summer.

If you enjoy thinking about how the future of this field might look like, I highly recommend watching the interview between Yannic Kilcher and Sebastian Risi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xpGve9QEE).

I was mind-blown after hearing it. It was a long time since I didn't hear such an interesting conversation. It's crazy how Risi's ideas correlate so well with the way how complex systems emerge in nature (optimizing locally), and the idea of self-organizing systems is just amazing.

You can use the code in https://github.com/krea-ai/prompt-search to do so. You first want to compute the CLIP embeddings of each prompt, index them using something like K-Nearest Neighbors (so you can get search for similarities fast), and then, given an input prompt, you will be able to find other indexed prompts that share their semantics.
fixed!

thanks for spotting the issue :)

Thanks! Great work with Lexica.

We also released a free API https://devapi.krea.ai/ if anyone wants to check it out.

It will soon have endpoints with custom image generation features.

Thanks! Prompts can be hard to create, we hope that having access to these kinds of datasets we will be able to create tools and conduct studies that help us create better images and understand better the possibilities of AI models like stable diffusion.
I wonder how CLIP search would work for finding errors in the dataset.

For now, a workaround is to create your own "glitch" collection in krea.ai and store there images with artifacts.

If you end up doing it we will add a "download all" button right away :)

And all the prompts from each collection could also be added to Open Prompts for sure.

The source (Stability AI Discord) is the same, but I don't know how Sharif gathered his data.
We do not have a continuous system, the data is a mix between our own crawled generations and the dataset published by Dave Caruso (https://github.com/paperdave). With our crawler, we were able to get about 100k generations per day.

Show HN: Open Prompts – dataset of 10M Stable Diffusion generations

https://github.com/krea-ai/open-prompts

Open Prompts is the dataset used to build krea.ai. The data comes from the Stability AI Discord and includes around 10M images from 2M prompts. You can use it for creating semantic search engines of prompts, training LLMs, fine-tuning image-to-text models like BLIP, or extracting insights from the data—like the most common combinations of modifiers.
