Krea 2 Turbo (+ Identity Edit) — GGUF build
8-step distilled text-to-image and identity-preserving instruction editing — ≈35 s per 1024² image on an RTX 5090, guidance-free.
What this repo is: the Krea 2 Turbo Edit denoiser (identity LoRA baked in) as GGUF at three quant tiers plus a scaled-FP8 build, with the Qwen3-VL-4B text encoder and Qwen-Image VAE it needs — weights only, not a retrain. The settings below are the values these weights are actually run with day to day.
Supported modes: txt2img, img2img, edit (identity-preserving, 1–2 reference images)
Samples
Identity Edit
The signature mode. One reference image plus a plain-language instruction — the subject's identity, pose, lighting and scene survive; only the instruction changes. No mask, no inpainting region.
img2img
Conventional strength-based restyling also works. One source (generated by this same build), three prompts, identical settings.

Notes and gotchas
guidance 1.0is correct. This is a fully guidance-distilled build; the text conditioning arrives through the Qwen3-VL encoder, not CFG. Raising guidance is not the lever for prompt adherence.- The identity LoRA is baked into this denoiser (
turbo_editweights). There is no separate LoRA file to apply; plain txt2img and img2img use the same weights. - Edit mode wants an instruction, not a description —
put a red beanie on his head, nota man wearing a red beanie. Both reference identity and scene survive the edit (verified: same face, same window, same shirt across edits at seed 7). - Upstream base model: Krea 2 Turbo Edit (Krea AI), Qwen-Image family architecture
