I am dying for Version 1.0 of Stable Cascade. Not only because it'll be better but because of the community models and all the Loras we can make with a model that actually understands the prompts.

Just noting that Stable Cascade as it is now is aimed at 16 gig vram, there's ways to get it working even on 8 gig, but a single image takes 5 min. We'll see how's this model doing in a month or two. Edito: The models released after the initial release are much faster. Getting images in 26 seconds in Comfy UI with a 3060ti 8gig.

This is awesome, thanks. So far Stable Cascade is a game changer for me. I'm rarely using negative prompts at all and very few positive prompt words to get what I want. Crazy how fast it is for the results as well.

Great videos man, such a unique and chill vibe! I appreciate you.

I am getting this error AttributeError: module diffusers has no attribute StableCascadeUNet do you happen to know why? Thank you

I'm thinking about cancelling my chatgpt pro account and joining your patreon as I find stable diffusion so much more satisfying than the big tech generators

Thank you so much. It was for me today to solve it on my machine. Perfect timing! peace

Having a bit of trouble. The extension is installed, but not showing up on the tab.

Speaking of Gnomes - how does a Gnome eat? Gnome Gnome Gnome (nom nom nom)

Holy shit. That is incredible!

I installed it using the 'install from url' tab and it shows up in the extensions list now, however there is no tab, any ideas?

I keep being amazed at Ai art generation, so freakin cool

do you know how to change the stable cascade model? I see civitai has like 30GB models, curious to see if they're better quality

Where did it put all models ? I can't see them.

Using the one click installer for Forge, when I installed this I get this error: *** Error loading script: easy_stablecascade_diffusers.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Stable Diffusion Forge\webui\modules\scripts.py", line 544, in load_scripts script_module = script_loading.load_module(scriptfile.path) File "C:\Stable Diffusion Forge\webui\modules\script_loading.py", line 10, in load_module module_spec.loader.exec_module(module) File "", line 883, in exec_module File "", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "C:\Stable Diffusion Forge\webui\extensions\sdweb-easy-stablecascade-diffusers\scripts\easy_stablecascade_diffusers.py", line 5, in from diffusers import StableCascadeDecoderPipeline, StableCascadePriorPipeline ImportError: cannot import name 'StableCascadeDecoderPipeline' from 'diffusers' (C:\Stable Diffusion Forge\system\python\lib\site-packages\diffusers\__init__.py) Loading it again using the non-one click method in your other video worked perfectly. You do have to uninstall python though first.

Hi, I got the stable cascade tab but it gives me this error while trying rendering. Any solution? module diffusers has no attribute StableCascadeUNet Also on their github page there's written please have someone redo this extension... is it down?

Hi Sebastian, I tried to install the estension and it seems installed but it doesn't appear in the A1111 tabs. It appear only on the list of the estensions. What can I do?

Can we use loras?

I used the 1-click installer for Forge so if there's issues I'll pass. I have it through Pinokio anyway, so it's not like I'm missing out. Maybe I'll try on my A1111 install first.

Ok those hands it generated were unreal good

Hi friend, I installed Stable Cascade in my Automatic1111, but the Cascade tab does not appear in the interface, what could be the problem?

Hello, I'm one of those people for whom it didn't go well (30min Oo), despite my 4060ti, but on Comfy it's going better for me.

I am getting some crashes during the install of the endless requirements. How's your virtual memory settings?

sorry but where are the images being stored? I could not find them in the directory

Are we able to use controlnet with this at all yet ?

i've installed the extension and am able to select the tab but it never actually generates an image, despite the loading animation taking place. anyone else have this problem? i am running automatic1111 1.8

Bro could have mentioned that on first render it TAKES FOREVER to download everything and not to panic that installation failed! :D So much to download, its nuts!

RuntimeError: Failed to import diffusers.pipelines.stable_cascade.pipeline_stable_cascade because of the following error (look up to see its traceback): cannot import name 'List' from 'typing_extensions' (C:\ai\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\lib\site-packages\typing_extensions.py)

Do you have any idea where to place the upscalers in forge directories?

Could you please make a video on the newly released, X Adapter?

What am I missing here? it's taking a hella long time to generate in A1111. Are there specific models I should use to generate?

Nice one mate! I told ya Forge was fast lol

Installed Forge and then the Stable Cascade tab, when trying to generate I get "Runtime Error: cutlassF" no kernel found to launch!" any thoughts?

I did the install but it's not showing in Auto1111 even after restarting it. What can I do to fix?

Instaled cascade on both Forge and A1111 and when I hit generate its just processing for ever and doesnt generate anything. Anybody else getting this problem or know a fix?

I get the fastest speed with Stable Cascade using Pinokio ~13 seconds vs. 21 seconds using the extension in Forge (4060 ti 16gb). Auto1111 get's confused and try to run multiple checkpoints i think because it takes over 5 minutes for one image. Normal SDXL generation normally takes me 9 seconds to complete on Forge/Comfyui and 10 seconds on Auto1111. 6-7 seconds with tensorrt in Auto1111. I can't get Forge to work with Tensorrt properly, not even when i copy the 'Unet-onnx' & 'Unet-trt' folders over from Auto1111.

Can you achieve something similar to Heygen? Mainly lip syncing? I've tried using others but without success

Thank you for all your amazing contents ... I just saw your video and based on the introduction page model c is the base model and model b is the refiner I guess? and model c is the vae , so I was wondering how can I use it in automatic1111 , I just saw that you had some kind of merge model with sdxl (based on the name of the model in your video)? Can you help me how to merge it? Thanks

got error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket' while installing the extension using given link. installed forge using 1-click installer.

Is it normal 1500x1500 render on a 4080 takes about 90 seconds? Where are models? I saw during the installation of the extension that long files were downloaded, I can't find them in the A1111 folder. Thanks for help.

For those of you having problems getting it to run in forge that was installed via 1 click installer. So when I run it from the main directory using run.bat, then the stable cascade tab will not show up. However if I run webui-user.bat from the webui directory instead of through the run.bat, it shows up correctly in forge without any issues.

Hi, where are models stored? In case, I want them delete. Tnx

You said it's uncanny where ironically the ghibli cat can be achieved with some kind of canny controlnet function. Though not intended, I thought it was funny.

hi i tried to install it in forge just like you did but i have no tab that says stable cascade but it says its installed

Maybe someone can help me. i installed cascade for A1111 but if a try to generate a image i get this message: RuntimeError: cutlassF: no kernel found to launch! and several other lines.

gracias

So, its just an extension? You can install it into any instance of A1111? How do you get the models or install them?

It takes about 160 seconds per 1024x1024 image for me with a 3070 GPU. It's much faster with 512x512 but that seems to only create a centre crop of a larger image on first try.

Did I miss how instal model or it's not in the video ?

i have installed All my WebUI´s through Stability Matrix i tried to install Stable Cascade in Forge but all im getting Error: No Kernel Found

Got regular Automatic1111, installed the cascade, it does show up active in extensions, however I can't see it on the 'main' screen of the SD interface, weird D: Maybe it has something to do with set model? Mine is 1.5, not SDXL

hi can you help me to solve this error "module diffuser has no attribute StableCascadeUnet. i installed cascade install in stable diffusion but i got this error after installing of all model on window 11

which models can be used with this? and which one are you using in the video??

Hello Sebastian ! I have a little question, i am using both A1111 and Forge but I have the feeling that 1111 has higher quality images especially when using controlnet, or is it just a feeling ?

Rather than generating new images, I inpaint existing photos to change one or another detail. Thanks

Didnt work on macOS, complained of pyTorch, which is surprising as I can A1111 without any problems. Using Pinokio, we can start up at least but it gives memory error, on a 24GB machine

Does the model you have loaded as a checkpoint matter? I don't think you mentioned it.

HI, I have 16 vram but after pressing Generate it takes forever for Cascade to generate. Why?

You should have shown the differences between StableCascade and the regular A1111 in the video

i installed this. got a 12gb GFX card. 48gb RAM. prompted a simple thing. thing is still rendering 200s. taking FOREVER to prompt

Here are my results in a low spec system(16gb RAM/3060 12gb): It works, but forget about lower res images, the precise txt-to-img results only work consistently when using 1024x1024+ It is very slow, it is loading the model from the SSD every time I try to generate images, only after that is actually using RAM and VRAM. A 1024x1024 image is taking around 80s, as comparison, using dreamshapperXL Turbo I can generate similar quality images under 8s.

So no way to use it with batch sequencing and controlnet yer, right?

I installed forge manually but can't launch it, any ideas how to get it running

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket" Thoughts?

I'm getting error on my Macbook M2 Pro Max 32G

Why is always the same, this doesn´t work in the AMD stable diffusion option? I´m so tired of this. I installed and don´t get any tab of cascade in the options.

I don't know about it being faster. Super slow on the 4080 super. No sure what could be the issue. Wonder if its a bottleneck. I have a 4080 super that is connected to a riser (maybe this riser is the issue). Running with a 5800x. 64gb or ram.

Not works (A1111 here) no tab "Stable Cascade". And why is there no mention whatsoever of downloading the model?

no loner works even with manual install. huggingface changed diffusers i think

For some reason, it is giving me fuzzy images :(

Sooooo you state it's an extension but of what program????

Did I understand it right that stable cascade has a non-commercial license, so we can't use it to create sellable Art, right?

Ok maybe I'm stupid but why would I use cascade when forge using the same model and size is 5x faster to render, what makes it unique??

It can do 4K (3840x2160) for landscapes.

is this only for 16gb vram?

If You have a less powerful Nvidia GPU, try the stand alone version stable cascade easy (you cant post links here?). With my RTX 3060 12 GB a 2048x2048 image takes 73 seconds to generate and 1024x1024 image 26 seconds.

can it work with rtx 3070 8gb? thanks

yah that is a whole lotta don't work in my A1111

not working for me, taking ages to download models (45mn still at 20% for one of them) I'm removing the cascade extension but does anyone know where the already downloaded models are stored ? there are no models in the C:\Users\****\pinokio\api\forge.git\app\extensions\sdweb-easy-stablecascade-diffusers thanks !

where are the models being installed? It downloaded 8+ GB, didn't work but I want to know where the folder is Edit: nevermind, already found it: C:\Users\**********\.cache\huggingface\hub\models--stabilityai--stable-cascade-prior\snapshots

Does it work for 6gb vram?

All right, I'm not just here for the little-gnome fact - bring on the Stable Cascade.

hmmmmmm.......... jury is still out on this one

Well maybe other KZfaqrs were faster, but other youtubers are not Seb and its not a good watch without a dad joke 😂

30GB. Good heavens

Stable cascade is generating garbled images for me, maybe it's the 12 GB gram limitation 🤔

We'll see uf this model becomes any useful for anything in the future, I'm skeptical. There was also a hype around SD 2.0, 2.1 and so on and the versions turn out to be massive fail. Even the SDXL isn't as good as useful as SD 1.5 imo. I'll check it in month or two if the SC is any good. Hype is for children.

Ah poo, not working with AMD yet. :(

Can it work on MX450 2GB graphics card ??

никто не генерирует SDXL модель в 50 шагов! это читерский график, у всех в серднем 20-30

8Gb VRAM takes FOREEEEEEEVER. This is for rich peoples.

Dunno... For now Stable Cascade looks like over-complicated model with several extra "moving parts" which produces same plastic or airbrushed people as SDXL... Far from photorealism.

but u made 1 click installer. for patreon only... nasty

My dear, thank you for the video. Please go away with the background music it is loud enough to be disturbing and distracting from what you are trying to present. Or at least lower the volume of the background music. I actually stopped the video at 2:36 because I was unable to follow what you were saying and my eyes were squinting trying to focus. Thanks!

i have a 3080 (10gbvram) and found a work around. cascade wouldn't even work until i added --medvram to the set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= line in the webui-user.bat launcher
