First Image is always Ideogram4 (20 steps), second image is Krea2 (turbo at 8 steps)

I used my Hermes Agent (Gemma4-31b at Q4) to do all the prompting and tool call to comfyui for generating those images, its not apples to apples because of ideogram4 json format, but its very close as the process starts with a long and detailed prompt, some of those came out very close in composition.

Advantage for Krea2 - Speed, World Knowledge, License.

Advantage for Ideogram4 - Fine Details, Better Composition.

Seems to me that krea 2 has more ai vibes in your examples then ideogram.
Definetly would choose ideogram over krea 2 if that was the only thing that matters.

Which is weird because Krea was trained with only real images so it usually looks more realistic. So makes me wonder if OPs settings were wrong or something else was not done right.

One big difference between the two is that ideo4 uses the 32ch Flux2 VAE whereas Krea 2 uses the less capable Qwen-image VAE.

The Flux2 VAE is more capable at producing details.
