# Kroma v0.2 — Krea 2 fine-tune (full model)

**Kroma** is a fine-tune of **Krea 2**. As of **v0.2** it is distributed as a **full
model checkpoint** — the v0.1 LoRA-delta packaging has been retired. v0.2 is more
training on top of v0.1, with **no LoRA delta compression**, and the **Krea 2 Turbo
delta merged in as a rank-512 LoRA** — a single file gives you the fine-tuned quality
at Turbo speed.

- **File:** `kroma-v0.2-turbo.safetensors` (full diffusion model)
- **Type:** full fine-tuned checkpoint (not a LoRA — no base model required)
- **License:** MIT

> **Upgrading from v0.1:** v0.1 was a LoRA + `.diff` deltas loaded on top of a Krea 2
> checkpoint. v0.2 replaces that entirely — load it as a normal diffusion model and
> drop the `LoraLoader` from your workflow.

## Running in ComfyUI

### 1. Requirements
- A recent **ComfyUI** with native **Krea 2** support (update to the latest master).
- The **Krea 2** text encoder and VAE (the diffusion model is this repo — no separate
  base checkpoint needed).

### 2. Files to download
Place these in your ComfyUI folders:

| What | Where | Notes |
|------|-------|-------|
| `kroma-v0.2-turbo.safetensors` | `ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/` | this repo |
| Krea 2 text encoder (Qwen3-VL) | `ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/` | load with CLIPLoader type `krea2` |
| Krea 2 VAE | `ComfyUI/models/vae/` | |

### 3. Sampling settings
The Krea 2 Turbo delta is merged in, so sample with **Turbo settings**:

| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| Steps | **8-12** |
| Guidance (CFG) | **1.0 – 1.5** |
| Shift (mu) | **1.15** |

> These are the settings the Turbo checkpoint was distilled for; keep them for best
> results.

### 4. Workflow
1. **Load Diffusion Model** → select `kroma-v0.2-turbo.safetensors`.
2. **Load CLIP** → the Krea 2 text encoder, set type to **`krea2`**.
3. **Load VAE** → the Krea 2 VAE.
4. **KSampler** → steps / CFG / shift per the table above.
5. Prompt and generate.

**Minimal node chain:**
```
Load Diffusion Model (kroma-v0.2) ─► KSampler ─► VAE Decode ─► Save Image
Load CLIP (krea2) ─────────────────► (clip)       ▲
Load VAE ───────────────────────────────────────┘
Empty Latent / prompt ────────────────────────────►
```

### 5. Tips
- If the output looks off, confirm the text encoder is loaded with type **`krea2`**
  (Krea 2 expects a 12-layer Qwen3-VL stack) and that you're on a current ComfyUI.

## Provenance
v0.2 was produced by continued full fine-tuning of the K2 (Krea 2) checkpoint behind
Kroma v0.1 — without the rank-256 LoRA delta compression used for the v0.1 release —
followed by merging the **Krea 2 Turbo delta** in as a **rank-512 LoRA**.

## License
**MIT** — see `LICENSE`. Note that **Krea 2** is governed by its own license; this
fine-tune does not grant any rights to the base weights.
