Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
image/krea/krea-2/medium
Access
Documented native route; enabled API workspace, Bearer token and separate USD balance required.
Regions
Not established
Authentication
Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN; JSON generation requests.Source for Authentication (opens in a new tab)
Billing basis
API-token calls use a separate workspace USD balance. Only completed jobs are billed; failed or cancelled jobs are not. In-flight jobs finish if funds run out, but new requests return HTTP 402.Source for Billing basis (opens in a new tab)
Processing workflow
Poll GET /jobs/{id} until completed, failed or cancelled. Pending includes backlogged, queued, scheduled, processing, sampling and intermediate-complete. DELETE /jobs/{id} can cancel queued or processing jobs.Source for Processing workflow (opens in a new tab)
Request quotas
Concurrency, backlog and request quotas depend on plan; current guide gives no numerical universal limits. Excess concurrent submissions enter the account backlog.Source for Request quotas (opens in a new tab)
Style visibility
API identity and app identity have separate style visibility unless styles are shared with the workspace.Source for Style visibility (opens in a new tab)

Aspect ratios
1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 2.35:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16Source for Aspect ratios (opens in a new tab)

Includes 3:4, which is absent from the reviewed Fal enum.

Prompt expansion
Default low. raw disables expansion; low, medium and high select expansion strength.Source for Prompt expansion (opens in a new tab)
Reference guidance
Up to 10 image_style_references, each with url and strength 0–1, default 0.5. One moodboard UUID with strength 0–1, default 0.23.Source for Reference guidance (opens in a new tab)
Source-image conditioning
Optional image_url and strength 0–1, default 0.99. Zero preserves the source; one ignores it. Strength has no effect without an image.Source for Source-image conditioning (opens in a new tab)
Style controls
styles entries require id and strength from −2 to 2. No explicit maximum list length in this native schema.Source for Style controls (opens in a new tab)
Creative controls
Intensity, complexity and movement each accept integers −100 to 100, default zero; independent of prompt expansion.Source for Creative controls (opens in a new tab)
Reference media access
Reference URL fields accept external URLs, uploaded assets or base64 data URIs, but the schema caps each string at 1024 characters. Larger inline payloads conflict with that limit; prefer uploaded or public URLs.Source for Reference media access (opens in a new tab)
Configuration discrepancy
Current API schema permits only 1K. API pricing page advertises 1.5K native output. Use the documented endpoint enum until the contract is reconciled.Source for Configuration discrepancy (opens in a new tab)
Training controls
POST /styles/train model=k2; required name and urls; Style/Object/Character; optional trigger_word; max_train_steps 1–2000. No image-count limit is established by this API schema.Source for Training controls (opens in a new tab)

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Krea documents a hosted variant with post-training and additional style/prompt systems, alongside downloadable RAW and Turbo checkpoints. Exact hosted-checkpoint equivalence and private-weight status remain unresolved. This record captures the managed service contract and does not count as an independently proven private base model.
