Krea 3 Ultra lands at #5 on AA-Image-Editing v2.1, with quality similar to Nano Banana 2.1 and MAI-Image-2.6

Krea 3, released on October 15, is Krea's new image editing model and its first on our Image Editing leaderboard. Today Krea adds Ultra, its highest thinking mode, alongside the default Fast mode, and we tested both modes through the Krea API at 2K resolution.

Krea 3 Ultra is the highest-ranked image editing model from outside OpenAI, Google and Microsoft. It places in the top 7 in 15 of our 17 Image Editing categories. Its best results are in Animation & Gaming and Frontier, at #2 in both. Krea 3 Fast, the default mode, lands at #11.

On the Krea API, Krea 3 Fast costs $0.03 per 1K image, plus $0.02 per 1K reference image. Krea 3 Ultra supports 2K output only, and costs $0.27 for a 2K edit with one 1K reference image.

Krea 3 is available on Krea's API and through other 3rd party APIs.

Congratulations to @krea_ai on the release!
