ABOUT KREA
Full job description
ABOUT KREA At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools. We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2 https://www.krea.ai/blog/krea-2-image-model, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.
