What is Krita AI Diffusion?

Krita's AI plugin stays first to support every new open image model, from Flux 2 to Anima.

Krita AI Diffusion is a mature, fast-moving ComfyUI-backed plugin shipping near-monthly. Each release pairs support for the latest open diffusion models with steady refinement of the inpaint/selection pipeline and cross-platform install handling across CUDA, ROCm, and macOS.

What is Gamma?

Gamma is doubling down on being the AI-native presentation surface — for humans and for agents.

Gamma has spent six months reinforcing two lanes in parallel. The AI lane: Nano Banana Pro / HD for image generation, smarter Claude and ChatGPT connectors, AI animations as a generative media source. The editor lane: six-column layouts, gradient cards, syntax-highlighted code blocks, adaptive-theme logos. The Generate API going GA in November opened a programmatic surface that the recent connector improvements now build on.

Krita AI Diffusion vs Gamma: editorial side-by-side

K5.0

Krita's AI plugin stays first to support every new open image model, from Flux 2 to Anima.

◆ Current state

Krita AI Diffusion is a mature, fast-moving ComfyUI-backed plugin shipping near-monthly. Each release pairs support for the latest open diffusion models with steady refinement of the inpaint/selection pipeline and cross-platform install handling across CUDA, ROCm, and macOS.

◆ Where it's heading

Across these releases the plugin absorbed Flux 2, Z-Image, Qwen, ERNIE, and Anima, wiring each into Krita's selection, control-layer, and custom-workflow machinery. The direction is clear: be the fastest on-ramp for new diffusion models inside a real painting app, while smoothing the rough edges of local install and editing.

◆ Prediction

Anima is still in training and preview; expect it to graduate to official support with the full set of control modes, and for the project to keep absorbing new open models as they land. The just-added ROCm path suggests further AMD/hardware-support polish ahead.

6.3

Gamma is doubling down on being the AI-native presentation surface — for humans and for agents.

◆ Current state

Gamma has spent six months reinforcing two lanes in parallel. The AI lane: Nano Banana Pro / HD for image generation, smarter Claude and ChatGPT connectors, AI animations as a generative media source. The editor lane: six-column layouts, gradient cards, syntax-highlighted code blocks, adaptive-theme logos. The Generate API going GA in November opened a programmatic surface that the recent connector improvements now build on.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is splitting into two related surfaces — a human-facing editor that keeps gaining visual polish, and an AI/agent-facing layer where presentations get generated and modified through chat connectors or API calls. The May connector update plus the earlier API GA point at a deliberate move to be the default deck-generation backend for agentic workflows, not just a destination tool that users open in a browser.

◆ Prediction

Expect tighter agent loops next: deck editing as a callable tool inside Claude and ChatGPT (not just one-shot generation), and a paid programmatic tier targeted at agent-builders shipping deck-export features.
