# Krea-R-Turbo
## Try Krea-R-Turbo in SPACES!
[](https://huggingface.co/spaces/realrebelai/Krea-R-Turbo)
Full Weight and GGUF quants of custom merge of Krea-2-Turbo and 2 of my style LoRAs at specific strength values. Displays a heavy focus on photorealistic portraits to achieve high grade aesthetics while also retaining Krea-2s sharp detail!
This is a **derivative** of [`krea/Krea-2-Turbo`](https://huggingface.co/krea/Krea-2-Turbo):
LoRA-merged, then quantized. It is not the original checkpoint.
## Quants
Pick by how much VRAM you can spare for the diffusion model (leave room for the text
encoder + VAE). Sizes are approximate — see the **Files** tab for exact numbers.
| File | Type | ~Size | Notes |
|------|------|-------|-------|
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q8_0.gguf` | Q8_0 | ~14 GB | Near-lossless. For 16 GB+ cards or offload. |
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q6_K.gguf` | Q6_K | ~11 GB | Excellent quality, hard to tell from Q8. |
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q5_K_M.gguf` | Q5_K_M | ~9.4 GB | Great quality/size balance. |
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q4_K_M.gguf` | Q4_K_M | ~8.0 GB | **Recommended all-rounder.** 12 GB cards, or 8 GB with offload. |
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q3_K_M.gguf` | Q3_K_M | ~6.4 GB | **Best pick for 8 GB VRAM.** Small quality trade. |
| `Krea-R-Turbo-Q2_K.gguf` | Q2_K | ~5.5 GB | Tightest fit. Visible degradation but usable. |
On an 8 GB card (e.g. RTX 3070), Q3_K_M or Q2_K fit most comfortably alongside the VAE
and text encoder. Larger quants still run via ComfyUI's `--lowvram` / block-swap
offload — just slower.

## Usage in ComfyUI
**Place the files:**
| File | Folder |
|------|--------|
| `Krea-R-Turbo-QX.gguf` (this repo) | `ComfyUI/models/unet/` (or `diffusion_models/`) |
| `qwen3vl_4b` text encoder | `ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/` |
| `qwen_image_vae.safetensors` | `ComfyUI/models/vae/` |
The text encoder (Qwen3-VL 4B) and VAE (Qwen-image VAE) are the standard Krea 2 companions
and can be pulled from the ComfyUI repack:
[`Comfy-Org/Krea-2`](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Krea-2).
**Wire it up:** load the GGUF with the **Unet Loader (GGUF)** node,
feed it the Qwen3-VL text encoder and Qwen-image VAE, and sample as normal Krea 2 Turbo.
### Recommended sampling
Krea 2 Turbo is a distilled, few-step model:
- **Steps:** ~8
- **Guidance:** CFG-free — set CFG to `1.0` (no negative prompt), or guidance `0`
- **Sampler / scheduler:** `er_sde` + `simple` works well (or `euler` + `simple`)
- **Resolution:** up to 2048², 1024–1280 sweet spot on 8 GB
No positive/negative CFG split is needed; this checkpoint was distilled without it.

## Requirements
- ComfyUI (recent build with Krea 2 support)
- [RealRebelAI/ComfyUI-GGUF_KREA-2](https://github.com/RealRebelAI/ComfyUI-GGUF_KREA-2) custom node
- Qwen3-VL 4B text encoder + Qwen-image VAE (from [`Comfy-Org/Krea-2`](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Krea-2))
This repo contains the **diffusion model (transformer) only** — it will not generate
anything on its own without the VAE and text encoder above.
