CI & fixtures · Krea 2 Large

CI fixtures without live Krea 2 Large calls

Epochal’s 30 rpm account limit is plenty for metadata fetches when fixtures are cached correctly. Verification pipelines should not inherit creative Krea habits from demos.

Where image API costs go off the rails

Credit anxiety kills creative flow

Watching Krea 2 Large balances mid-session makes vibecoders hesitate to experiment—or worse, spam cheaper bad calls.

Preview environments are silent budget leaks

Every deploy regenerates assets through Krea 2 Large because nobody cached fixtures.

Designers and agents disagree on cost

Humans would reuse a mock; agents re-prompt Krea 2 Large from scratch each time.

Budget planning is guesswork

Open-ended Krea 2 Large usage is hard to forecast. Flat stock is not.

Scenario: CI & fixtures with Krea 2 Large

Epochal’s no-per-image model means fixture libraries can be generous without fear—unlike live Krea 2 Large on every PR.

The fix: Epochal Stock at $50 USD/month (no per-image fee)

When the image does not need a unique Krea 2 Large synthesis, use Epochal Stock Developer Image API: a single plan at $50 USD/month with no free tier and no per-image fee. You get full catalog access, 30 requests/minute per account (all keys share the bucket), and unlimited original downloads with one concurrent transfer. Authenticate server-side only with a Bearer key—never expose secrets in browser JavaScript. Keep Krea 2 Large for finals that must be generative; let Epochal cover prototypes, fixtures, and placeholders.

  • Price: $50 USD/month — single plan
  • Per-image billing: none
  • Rate limit: 30 requests/minute per account
  • Downloads: unlimited originals, one concurrent transfer
  • Best for: tests, prototypes, and placeholders instead of another Krea 2 Large generation
curl -sS "https://epochalstock.com/api/v1/images?tags=workspace,startup&limit=12" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EPOCHAL_API_KEY"

Keys stay on your server. Never pass ?api_key= or ship secrets to the browser.
