Krea 2's Muse realism model, generating in 8-step turbo mode

Stable Yogi tuned this Muse realistic model on Krea 2, V1.5 Photoreal. It’s positioned as fast, versatile, and looking real—turbo only needs 8 steps, plug-and-play with Krea 2’s TE and VAE. The dev says it’s good at realistic portraits and full body, various characters, fashion editorial style, and life scenes, with strong prompt adherence and natural skin and faces.

Downloads come in a few versions: Q8 GGUF is recommended, Q4 GGUF for low VRAM, plus an fp8 compatible version—remember to load the TE and VAE together. The official params are 8 steps, CFG 1, Euler, Simple, native resolution. That 8-step CFG 1 setup is the typical distilled turbo config, speed is its selling point. The V1 experimental version the author says is an early release still gathering feedback, so if you want stability go with V1.5. Anyone who’s run realistic on Krea 2, share your thoughts on how the images look.

8 steps CFG 1 for realism, speed is insane, but detail quality is pure luck.

Q4 GGUF saved my old GPU.

Krea 2’s ecosystem is really taking off, more and more models popping up.

You really gotta test skin naturalness yourself—realistic models mess up faces the easiest.

realism trips up most on face and skin, turbo’s fast sure, but the face will probably need a separate touch-up pass anyway
