Stable Cascade

Stability AI's three-stage latent diffusion model for efficient high-quality image generation

Image GenerationFree

Stable Cascade is a text-to-image model from Stability AI based on the Würstchen architecture that uses a three-stage latent diffusion process to achieve very high compression ratios, enabling faster and more memory-efficient image generation than SDXL. By operating in a highly compressed latent space, it trains more efficiently and generates images faster while maintaining quality. The model is open-source and compatible with the broader Stable Diffusion ecosystem. AI artists and researchers interested in efficient image generation architectures use Stable Cascade for faster iteration.
