Artificial Analysis tested Krea 3's new highest-thinking mode Ultra (with default Fast mode) via the Krea API at 2K resolution.
- 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.
- It ranks top-7 on 6 of 7 editing actions, best on Composition & Framing (#3); the largest gap vs Fast is on Reasoning-Based Edits (#4 vs #20) — edits requiring scene inference rather than literal instruction-following.
- Weakest action: Scene & Style Edit (#17).
Krea 3, released October 15, is Krea's first model on the image editing leaderboard.
