Find XO: Frontier Image Model Released, Moat Shifts from Model to Workflow (krea.ai)

- Krea AI released the 12 billion parameter image model Krea 2 as open weights on June 22. - The Turbo version can generate 2K images in about 2 seconds on consumer hardware. - A bigger change than rankings or speed is that you can run and adjust the weights yourself. - As the gap in generation quality narrows, the competition shifts to how deeply the solution integrates into customer workflows and how much unique data and distribution have been accumulated.
