Why it matters
Hedra is pitching its infrastructure as a way to serve third-party models, with AMD inference optimizations as part of the offer. The sixfold speed claim remains company-reported.

Hedra added Krea 3, a reference-driven image generation and editing model, to its platform on October 15th. In a six-post thread on X, the startup said it can return a 2K edit in 3.6 seconds on AMD Instinct MI355X accelerators, down from about 22 seconds on the same hardware before it rebuilt its inference stack.
