Krita AI Diffusion

DESIGN
Velocity0.0

Stable Diffusion plugin for the Krita digital painting application - inpainting and image generation.

github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion ↗

Krita's AI plugin moves to Krita 6 and drops support for Krita 5 in its next release.

◆Current state
The plugin tracks the open image-model ecosystem closely. Version 1.53.0 added Anima segmentation control and CUDA 13 while removing Nunchaku and insightface, which forced some users to redownload models. The 1.54.0 pre-release on October 3 migrates to Krita 6 and Qt6, stops working with Krita 5.x, adds Qwen Image 2.1, and is known to perform poorly on macOS.
◆Where it's heading
Each release moves the floor: first the model set and server stack, now the host application itself. Users who stay on Krita 5 will be left on 1.53.
◆Prediction
A stable 1.54.0 should follow once the macOS performance problem is fixed; the timing is unclear from a single pre-release.

    1.54.0-pre: Krita 6 required, Qwen Image 2.1 added

    The 1.54.0 pre-release moves the plugin to Krita 6 and Qt6 and drops Krita 5.x, while adding Qwen Image 2.1. It continues the plugin's habit of raising its requirements, this time for the host application.

    Anima segmentation control; Nunchaku dropped, CUDA 13 upgrade

    Adds segmentation control for Anima and lifts the managed server to CUDA 13, PyTorch 2.13 and current ComfyUI, while dropping Nunchaku and insightface — a breaking change for anyone running Nunchaku model variants. Cloud output also gains AI-generated metadata and, in the EU, an invisible service watermark.

    Basic Krea 2 support, region support for Anima, and Flux Klein 9B expand in edit mode, plus a fix for the broken auto-update that forced a manual install. Another step in Anima's steady accumulation of control features.
