Missing image run for Krea 2 Raw
The official demo offers the Raw checkpoint. On November 2, 2026, its default configuration required more allowance than anonymous daily access provided, and a security challenge blocked free sign-up. Local license eligibility remains unresolved. No exact Raw API route through fal.ai, Together or BFL was established on November 3. Krea 2 Large and its “raw” prompt option are not substitutes for the Raw model. Resolve regular account access and license eligibility, then test the exact Raw checkpoint with sufficient allowance.
