Krita's AI plugin races to integrate every new diffusion model -- Krea 2, Anima, ERNIE, Flux 2
Krita AI Diffusion, the generative-AI plugin for Krita, ships fast point releases whose defining feature is rapid integration of the newest open image models — Flux 2, Z-Image, Anima, ERNIE Image, and now basic Krea 2 support — alongside edit/inpaint/region/control tooling and a managed installer. The window is a steady mix of new-model support, control features (control layers for Anima, ROCm for AMD), and connection/install bugfixes.
Visme extended past documents into no-code microsites, then hardened the layout and brand layer.
Six releases across six months, plus a year-in-review. The two structural ones remain a no-code microsite builder that produces custom web pages inside the same editor used for everything else, and SmartBlocks, a native row-and-column layout system for building grid-based designs without positioning elements by hand. The most recent release turns to control rather than capability: Story Points for guiding viewers through a Whiteboard, granular locking on branded templates, a redesigned Brand Kit with detailed color picking, and 30+ microsite templates.

The window is a steady mix of new-model support, control features (control layers for Anima, ROCm for AMD), and connection/install bugfixes.
The plugin's identity is being the fast on-ramp for every promising open diffusion model inside Krita, with control modes, regions, and custom ComfyUI workflows layered on top. Expect continued model additions (Krea 2 moving from basic to full support, more Anima control modes) and broader hardware coverage as the main threads.
Next releases will likely deepen Krea 2 and Anima support — more control modes, full generation — and keep chasing new open models as they drop, with recurring managed-install fixes across platforms.

Visme is widening from a document and presentation tool into a general content surface — a microsite is a different output category, not a new template — while making the editor more structured underneath. The May release shows the second half of that pattern: once a new output type ships, the work shifts to locking, brand definition and templates so distributed teams can use it without breaking the brand. Grid layout plus a rebuilt Brand Kit are the prerequisites for generated designs that hold together.
Expect the AI Designer to generate into SmartBlocks structures and microsites rather than free-positioned canvases, since the layout system, the template library and the brand context are now all in place.
