What Krea2-realism is

Krea2-realism-V2 Model description Headline: V2 is finally here! Things got a little wild (in the best way possible) 🚀 What's changed? I’ve put a lot of work into making this version feel more "real." You'll notice much better textures, lighting, and composition. I also focused heavily on the faces—no more "death stares!" Everything feels way more natural now. It also plays very nicely with other character LoRAs. How to prompt: It works with any style, but it really shines when you use natural language. Try writing a short paragraph (4–5 sentences) describing the scene. If you have something specific in mind, put it in the prompt; if not, let the LoRA surprise you! You can copy a few of my prompts and give your LLM as reference to produce similar prompts. Workflow: Easy setup: Use your V1 workflow and just swap out the LoRA. A note on NSFW: Yes, this version does NSFW! However, since I used a lot of "regular" high-quality photos to fix the skin and expressions, it's a bit more subtle. Avoid one-liners if you're going for NSFW; give it some detail (4–5 sentences) to get the best results. Strength: You can hit 1.0 with a good prompt, but I personally prefer 1.5–2.0 for that extra punch.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys krea2-realism for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (krea2-realism below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"krea2-realism","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
