Krea 2 Turbo LoRA reduces minimum steps to 4

A new LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) checkpoint has been released for Krea 2 Turbo, designed to reduce the minimum usable step count from 8 to 4. This LoRA is trained specifically for Krea 2 Turbo and functions as a distillation method, improving prompt adherence and reducing the gap compared to a full 8-step teacher model. The latest checkpoint, trained against an int8 teacher, shows a 13% smaller held-out gap and is available on Hugging Face. AI
