Krea 3
Krea's third-generation image-editing model: 2K edits in under 8 seconds at $0.06 per image, with bounding-box control and LoRA fine-tuning.
Why it matters
First editing model marketed as LoRA-trainable on a specific product or person for brand consistency, at roughly 10x the speed and a third of the per-image price of GPT Image 2 per Krea's numbers.
What you could build with it
An indie print-on-demand seller could fine-tune Krea 3 with a LoRA on their hero product, then batch-generate hundreds of consistent lifestyle packshots and ad variants in minutes instead of booking photo shoots.
Does it hold up?
Promising but vendor-reported: Krea claims second place on CPI-Bench (4.81/5) behind GPT Image 2.5 and sub-8s 2K edits; no independent production-pipeline verification yet.
