Official codebase for Stable Cascade, a text-to-image generation model built on the Würstchen architecture with a highly compressed latent space for faster inference and cheaper training. It provides training and inference scripts for Stage A/B/C models, including finetuning, LoRA, and ControlNet support.

Use cases

• generate images from text prompts
• train a text-to-image diffusion model
• finetune an image generation model with LoRA
• run fast image generation inference on GPU
• add ControlNet conditioning to image generation
• compare text-to-image model quality and speed

When to choose

• you need efficient text-to-image generation with faster inference than Stable Diffusion
• you want to train or finetune an image generation model with lower compute cost
• you need official reference code for the Würstchen/Stable Cascade architecture

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready image generation service with an API
• you require broad ecosystem tooling like ComfyUI or Automatic1111 integrations
• you lack a GPU or want CPU-only inference
