Krea-2 users question Turbo mode's dominance over creative Raw base model

Users on Reddit are questioning why new merges of the Krea-2 image generation model predominantly use the 'Turbo' version instead of the 'Raw' base model. The 'Turbo' mode is noted for its speed but is criticized for having limited creativity, while the 'Raw' version is considered more creative and can achieve similar speeds with a Turbo LoRA. There is a call for creators to release merges based on the 'Raw' model to offer more creative options. AI
