ATTENTION: The LoRA version is NOT a checkpoint, but a LoRA for local gen.
UPDATE2: Not much change in γ, still working toward keeping the look i like but correcting small quirks.
UPDATE: β is a less "white sticky fluids glazed" version of α 😁

μKrea2 (mu - Krea2) is my own final Krea2 mix based on several trained LoRAs (including nKrea) and some extracted LoRAs made as an experiment of hacking sd_mecha and learning how to unquantize INT8-ConvRot checkpoints (because undoing stuff is the best way to learn of to make stuff).
And since both the following events happened:
I finally found out how to convert stuff to INT8-ConvRot (via convert-to-quant),
stable-diffusion.cpp is now compatible with INT8-ConvRot,
here it is for your enjoyment!
I am releasing it as Early Access at low Buzz price to avoid immediate scraping.
Since this is Krea2 checkpoint, nothing special on usage, here is just some info on how i use it (for the showcase pictures for example):
ER_SDE/Smoothstep (aka Beta)
CFG 1 - 8 Steps
VAE: HDR VAE by @Felldude (basically the best FP32 VAE for WAN2.1/ANIMA/Krea2/Qwen Image)
All pictures made using stable-diffusion.cpp version master-874-656a135-2-g2ea8aff, commit 2ea8aff, compiled from source on ubuntu 26.04 with CUDA 13.2 with an RTX 3060 - 12GB. Each 960x1440 px pictures generated in around 60s (including decode).
Command line used (to start server):
./sd-server -l 0.0.0.0 -p "" -n " " --sampling-method er_sde --scheduler smoothstep --steps 8 -W 960 -H 1440 -b 1 --cfg-scale 1 -s -1 --clip-skip -1 -t 0 --rng cuda --sampler-rng cuda --diffusion-model muKrea2-INT8-convrot.safetensors --vae finalcut_vae.safetensors --llm Qwen3VL-4B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf --vae-tile-overlap 0.5 --vae-tile-size 32x32 --offload-to-cpu --vae-tiling --fa --eager-loadAll pictures batched using a small custom sd-client that talk to the server using the API endpoint (i'll release it if someone wants it).
./sd-client --help
Usage: sd-client [-s "832x1216"] -o output.png -p "A picture of a cat"Thanks for reading!
Special thanks (for the great pictures they make that helped me find a direction for this):

New toy right in time for my latest workflow round 👍
💜
Great checkpoint, very good images!
Thank you! 💜
🛡️ Passed the official BSS (Bullshit Screening Service) inspection with flying colors. Zero slop detected. Must-download! :3
Thank you! <3
DesireX is also such a great model, the showcase pictures are perfect <3
wow, testing now very nice results, :)
Thank you!
Quote perfect, just a bit wet
Oh yes, that it is 😂
I may have gone overboard when doing my training 🤔😅
argh.. told myself to stop collecting models for sake of my SSD.. But couldn't resist. thanks for the great model.
I can always propose a LoRA version on top, this could save some space, Krea2 is rather... invasive in term of storage 😭
There is now a "LORA VERSION" which a 128 dim LoRA extract of this model against Krea2 Turbo. It will not be "the same" but still, ~900MB vs 13GB, that could help saving your SSD :D
Amazing quality, thanks for sharing!
With Early access ending, the model turned to a 100 Buzz paying price for a few hours. Sorry, it was not my intention, it was done automatically. It is now free for everyone :D
