| Summary | Stable Cascade is Stability AI's text-to-image diffusion model built on the Würstchen architecture, using a three-stage cascade pipeline (Stages C, B, and A) to generate images from text prompts in a highly compressed latent space. Released as a non-commercial research preview, it is designed to be easier to fine-tune on consumer hardware than prior Stable Diffusion models. | OpenAI reasoning model focused on hard problems. |
