Stable Cascade

Stable Cascade is an AI-based model developed by Stability AI, designed to generate images by text prompt. It introduces an interesting three-stage approach, setting new benchmarks for quality, flexibility, fine-tuning, and efficiency with a focus on further eliminating hardware barriers.

To use Stable Cascade, simply input a text prompt and the model will generate an image based on that prompt.

There are two variants: SVD and SVD-XT. SVD creates 576×1024 resolution videos with 14 frames, while SVD-XT extends the frame count to 24.

The model has difficulties generating videos without motion, cannot be controlled by text, struggles with rendering text legibly, and sometimes inaccurately generates faces and people.

Currently, Stable Cascade is in a research preview and not intended for real-world commercial applications. However, there are plans for future development towards commercial uses.

Yes, Stability AI has made the code for Stable Cascade available on GitHub, encouraging open-source collaboration and development.
