What is Krita AI Diffusion?

Krita AI Diffusion is becoming the canonical desktop on-ramp for new open diffusion models, Flux 2 and Z-Image first.

Krita AI Diffusion is on a roughly bi-weekly release cadence focused on three threads: adding new diffusion models, overhauling inpaint/selection behavior, and growing the custom-workflow node surface. The arc across 1.46 → 1.50 took Flux 2 klein and Z-Image from experimental preview to managed install plus cloud availability, gained Z-Image Tile and Lite controlnets, reshaped selections from Grow to Feather+Blend, and added Anima (anime 2B) and ERNIE Image (8B) as new preview models. The custom-workflow API keeps gaining capability (selection crops, output naming, mask outputs, parameter defaults).

What is Moqups?

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

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

K2.5

Krita AI Diffusion is becoming the canonical desktop on-ramp for new open diffusion models, Flux 2 and Z-Image first.

◆ Current state

Krita AI Diffusion is on a roughly bi-weekly release cadence focused on three threads: adding new diffusion models, overhauling inpaint/selection behavior, and growing the custom-workflow node surface. The arc across 1.46 → 1.50 took Flux 2 klein and Z-Image from experimental preview to managed install plus cloud availability, gained Z-Image Tile and Lite controlnets, reshaped selections from Grow to Feather+Blend, and added Anima (anime 2B) and ERNIE Image (8B) as new preview models. The custom-workflow API keeps gaining capability (selection crops, output naming, mask outputs, parameter defaults).

◆ Where it's heading

The product is settling into a clear role: the canonical Krita-side surface for whatever new open diffusion model lands. The preview → official-managed-install graduation pattern (Flux 2 klein and Z-Image followed it) sets up the next round — Anima and ERNIE are next in line if they stabilize. Cloud (Interstice.cloud) is being kept in sync with local managed installs, so users opting in to either path get the same model catalog. Inpaint/selection internals are being reworked toward a single coherent Feather+Blend mental model.

◆ Prediction

Anima and ERNIE Image graduate from preview to managed install within the next 1–2 minor releases. Expect one more edit-capable model addition and continued inpaint/selection polish — the Feather+Blend reshuffle is not yet fully landed across all model paths.

5.0

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

◆ Current state

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

◆ Where it's heading

Each release sets up the next: Resize Constraints existed in part so the UI kits would survive scaling, by the team's own admission. The product is being positioned as the lowest-friction wireframe-to-mockup tool for teams who find Figma too heavy — comparison posts (Figma alternatives, all-in-one vs specialized) reinforce that frame on the marketing side. Prototyping fidelity and collaborative editing are the two visible investment areas.

◆ Prediction

Expect more first-party stencil kits (web/Android variants are a natural next step) and continued small prototyping improvements layered on the new transform primitives. The Figma-alternative content cadence will keep pace with the release cadence.
