Kira 2.2: Interface & Model Updates

Released: Jan.30.2026

• Introduced a refreshed interface for a cleaner, more intuitive experience

• Threads are now part of the Timeline, making it easier to follow your creative flow and revisit past work

We’ve clarified and renamed our generation modes to better reflect how they’re used:

• Kira Lite

  • Fast and lightweight

  • Best for quick ideas, exploration, and rapid iteration

• Kira Nova

  • Smarter Mode, more precise

  • Previously thinking mode

  • Best for higher-quality results, more accurate edits, and complex prompts

• Kira Ultra

  • Our most powerful mode with the best editing model available

  • Best for maximum quality, detail, and face consistency

  • May uses 4× more credits per successful generation or edit

• Crazy Mode

  • Experimental, witty, and more expressive

  • Best for creative exploration, bold styles, and unexpected results

We improved our edit models to make results more consistent across modes:

• Lite Mode: improved overall editing quality and better consistency

• Ultra Mode: upgraded to our most advanced (SOTA) editing model for maximum quality

• Faces now stay more stable across edits, variations, and refinements

• Especially noticeable when adjusting style, lighting, or making multiple edits to the same image

For example: users can place the same person into a new scene while keeping the face consistent.

• Added Use Case Cards to help users get started faster

• Show real examples and walk through of what you can do with Kira

• Designed to guide users on how to start and what to try next

• Clearer mode naming and selection

• Smoother navigation between generation, editing, and history

• Better onboarding for first-time users
