Krita AI Diffusion

DESIGN
Velocity5.0

Stable Diffusion plugin for the Krita digital painting application - inpainting and image generation.

Krita's AI plugin races to integrate every new diffusion model -- Krea 2, Anima, ERNIE, Flux 2

Current state
Krita AI Diffusion, the generative-AI plugin for Krita, ships fast point releases whose defining feature is rapid integration of the newest open image models — Flux 2, Z-Image, Anima, ERNIE Image, and now basic Krea 2 support — alongside edit/inpaint/region/control tooling and a managed installer. The window is a steady mix of new-model support, control features (control layers for Anima, ROCm for AMD), and connection/install bugfixes.
Where it's heading
The plugin's identity is being the fast on-ramp for every promising open diffusion model inside Krita, with control modes, regions, and custom ComfyUI workflows layered on top. Expect continued model additions (Krea 2 moving from basic to full support, more Anima control modes) and broader hardware coverage as the main threads.
Prediction
Next releases will likely deepen Krea 2 and Anima support — more control modes, full generation — and keep chasing new open models as they drop, with recurring managed-install fixes across platforms.
