Foundation models, generation platforms, papers and tools — things shipped, not just started

Krea 2 technical report

Krea 2

2026 · Krea

Open-weights text-to-image foundation model trained from scratch. Contributed to the style-conditioning system — ranked second worldwide on style fidelity — and co-led the Krea 2 Editing model training.

Realtime Video Generation Calculator

Realtime Video Generation Calculator

2026 · Interactive tool

First-principles compute estimator for diffusion and AR streaming video models — tweak the parameters and see when generation becomes realtime.

XLabs FLUX LoRA collection

XLabs FLUX LoRAs

2024 · XLabs

The first style adapters for FLUX, open-source together with the training and inference framework. The top adapter reached 500k downloads in its first month.

ESQA

ESQA: Event Sequences Question Answering

2024 · Kandinsky Labs

Adapting LLMs to event-sequence data — transactions, logs, user histories — solving multiple downstream tasks with little or no finetuning.

Kandinsky 4.0

Kandinsky 3.0 / 3.1 / 4.0

2023–2024 · Kandinsky Labs

A family of text-to-image and text-to-video foundation models. Co-author of the 3.0 technical report and of the Kandinsky 3 framework paper at EMNLP 2024. Also led the Kandinsky 3 inpainting model end-to-end and a ControlNet-based editing model trained on 256+ GPUs — shipped to fusionbrain.ai and inside GigaChat.

Task Discovery

Task Discovery

2022 · NeurIPS · VILAB, EPFL

Discovering the tasks on which neural networks generalize well — by optimizing an agreement-score objective.

Simple Control Baselines

Simple Control Baselines for Evaluating Transfer Learning

2022 · VILAB, EPFL

An evaluation standard for transfer learning: control baselines, practices and metrics for a calibrated comparison of self-supervised models.

Deep Learning Course

Deep Learning Course

2022 · Teaching

A full deep learning course prepared and taught in a team of two: neural networks, sequences, computer vision, RL, generative models.

Fast Line Search for Multi-Task Learning

Fast Line Search for Multi-Task Learning

2021 · Paper

Step-size line search in the latent representation space instead of the parameter space — faster convergence for multi-task models, validated on MNIST, CIFAR-10 and Cityscapes. With Daniil Merkulov.
