Stable Cascade (Würstchen) Diffusion Model: Image Generation Accelerated
This model, based on the Würstchen architecture, differs from others like Stable Diffusion by operating in a much smaller latent space. This reduction makes inference faster and training cheaper. While Stable Diffusion compresses a 1024x1024 image to 128x128, StableCascade compresses it to 24x24, maintaining image quality. The text-conditional model is trained in this compressed space, resulting in a 16x cost reduction over Stable Diffusion 1.5. This efficiency makes it ideal for various applications, and it supports extensions like finetuning, LoRA, ControlNet, IP-Adapter, and LCM.
