Black Forest Labs and Krea AI have released FLUX.1 Krea [dev], an open text-to-image model designed to generate more realistic images with fewer of the exaggerated, AI-typical textures. The model is based on FLUX.1 [dev] and remains fully compatible with its architecture. It was built for flexible customization and easy integration into downstream applications. Model weights are available on Hugging Face, with commercial licenses offered through the BFL Licensing Portal. Partners like FAL, Replicate, Runware, DataCrunch, and TogetherAI provide API access.
Today we are releasing FLUX.1 Krea [dev] – a new state-of-the-art open-weights FLUX model, built for photorealism.
Developed in collaboration with @krea_ai, this model is focused on images with unique aesthetics. No “AI look”, no blown-out highlights, just natural detail. pic.twitter.com/0YCUyO6BbI-
