🖼️ Krea 1 Just Killed the "AI Look"  Open Model, Pro Aesthetic

Krea and Black Forest Labs have launched FLUX.1 Krea, an open-weight image model built to eliminate waxy skin, blurry bokeh, and washed-out textures. It's trained on a carefully curated dataset to reject typical AI flaws while preserving realism and detail. 

The Shift:

1. Built to avoid the AI giveaway - The model was trained with a focus on removing waxy skin, blurry backgrounds, and oversaturated colors, using selective data curation and calibration to fix the “AI look” at the root. 

2. Quality that rivals premium closed models - FLUX.1 Krea is being positioned as SOTA among open-weight models. In human preference tests, it performs on par with top-tier closed systems like BFL’s own FLUX 1.1 Pro. The output aesthetic is opinionated, coherent, and built to satisfy real user taste.

3. Plug-and-play for the entire FLUX.1 dev ecosystem - The release is fully compatible with FLUX.1 [dev]. Developers can start generating on-brand, post-edit quality images with minimal setup. 

4. Curated post-training > scale-only pretraining - The model uses a two-stage post-training process: Supervised Finetuning (SFT) with handpicked images, followed by RLHF using opinionated human preference data.

This proves open models can now match premium systems in quality, realism, and taste. Visual AI is no longer just about prompt accuracy; it’s about style, bias, and trust. And with tools like FLUX.1 Krea, creatives finally get defaults that don’t need fixing.

🚨 Run GPT-4o-Level AI on Your Laptop (Offline!)

Qwen just dropped a 30B model that rivals GPT-4o, and you can run it locally. No API. No cost. Just raw power on your machine.

Here’s how to get started in 2 minutes:

Step-by-Step:

1. Install LM Studio: Download LM Studio for your OS (Mac, Windows, or Linux).
   

2. Search for the Model: Inside LM Studio, search: Qwen3 30B A3B 2507

Pick the one marked UD by Unsloth (e.g. Q4_K_XL Qwen3 30B A3B Instruct 2507 UD) for max efficiency.

3. Load and Configure
   

   • Go to the Chat tab

   • Select the model you downloaded

   • Set these parameters in the sidebar:
     • Temp = 0.7
     • TopP = 0.8
     • TopK = 20
     • MinP = 0

   • Adjust context length if needed

That’s it. You’re now running GPT-4o-quality intelligence, locally. 🔥 No internet. No tokens. Full control.

🚀 Enterprise LLM Wars: Anthropic Takes Lead as Spend Doubles

Menlo Ventures’ new LLM market report reveals a major shift in enterprise AI. Spending has doubled to $8.4B in 6 months, with Anthropic overtaking OpenAI as the top provider. Code generation is now the leading use case, while open-source adoption stalls and vendor loyalty grows.

The Shift:

1. Enterprise LLM spend hit $8.4B, doubling in 6 months - Surveying 150 technical leaders, the report shows rapid acceleration from the $3.5B level just half a year ago. Most of that spend is moving toward inference and real-world deployment.

2. Anthropic leads with 32% share, beating OpenAI and Google - OpenAI’s share fell from 50% in 2023 to 25%, while Anthropic surged ahead. Claude’s rise was driven by strong developer tools and new model releases. Google holds 20%, with Meta and DeepSeek trailing far behind.

3. Code generation dominates; vendor switching is rare - Claude owns 42% of the code gen market, twice OpenAI’s 21%, powering tools like IDEs and agents. 66% of companies stick with their original vendor and upgrade within the ecosystem. 

The LLM market is consolidating fast around closed systems with proven speed, quality, and developer UX. Code generation has become the lead use case, and platforms like Anthropic are winning because companies rarely switch once embedded. In this new era, model loyalty and performance define the winners.
