Takeaways
- 🌟 The guide provides instructions on using stable Cascade in an automatic 11's stable diffusion web UI.
- 🔧 The previous video discussed installing and using stable Cascade with its native software, which is resource-intensive.
- 💻 A stable diffusion web UI installation is required, whether on a PC or in the cloud.
- 🛠️ To address VRAM issues, specific arguments can be used to run the UI on a 380 ETI without freezing the PC.
- 🔗 The extension for stable Cascade can be installed via a URL provided in the video description.
- 🔄 After installing the extension, it needs to be checked in the UI's extensions tab and the UI restarted.
- 🎨 The stable Cascade models are downloaded upon first image generation, which requires significant storage space (~10 GB).
- 🚀 The image generation process is quick, especially with powerful graphics cards like a 39t 49t V100 or cloud-based options.
- 🏎️ Examples provided in the script demonstrate the generation of a generic image and a race car with 'Zoom' written on it.
- 📸 The output images may not always be perfectly accurate, but the quality is superior to standard stable diffusion models.
- 🔄 Experimenting with different settings, such as image resolution, can lead to varying results in image generation.
Q & A
What is the main topic of the guide?
-The main topic of the guide is the installation and use of the stable Cascade extension in a Stable Diffusion WebUI.
What was the issue mentioned in the previous video regarding the use of stable Cascade?

How can one overcome the VRAM issue while using the stable diffusion web UI?
-The VRAM issue can be mitigated by using specific arguments when running the web UI, as demonstrated in the guide.
What is the first step in installing the new extension?
-The first step is to have an installation of the stable diffusion web UI, either on your PC or running in the cloud.
Where can one find the link to the SD web easy stable Cascade diffusers extension?
-The link to the extension can be found in the description of the guide.
What should one do after installing the extension?
-After installing the extension, one should check the 'extensions' tab to ensure it's checked and then apply the changes and restart the UI.
How long does it take for the first image generation after installing the extension?
-The first image generation can take around 10 GB of data to download and approximately a minute and 46 seconds for the inference to run.
What is the advantage of using the extension over the normal stable Cascade UI?
-The advantage is that the extension allows for the generation of images without crashing the system and can utilize powerful graphics cards that might be out of reach for most people.
Is there a stable Cascade Docker image available for online use?

🖥️ Installing Stable Cascade on Stable Diffusion Web UI
This paragraph outlines the process of installing and utilizing the Stable Cascade extension within the Stable Diffusion Web UI. The speaker begins by addressing the previous challenges of high VRAM usage and integration issues with the web UI. They then provide a step-by-step guide on how to install the extension, starting with accessing the Extensions tab and using a URL provided in the video description. The speaker also discusses the initial setup, which includes downloading the Stable Cascade models for the first time. Once the extension is installed and the UI is restarted, users can generate images using the new Stable Cascade tab. The speaker demonstrates this by entering a generic text prompt and explaining that the models will download before the image generation begins. The paragraph concludes with the speaker noting the absence of a preview during the generation process but the final image will appear once completed.
🏎️ Generating Images with Stable Cascade
In this paragraph, the speaker delves into the specifics of generating images using Stable Cascade. They share their experience of generating an image with a generic prompt and then proceed to create a more interesting example featuring a race car with the word 'Zoom' written on it. The speaker highlights the time it takes for the image to be generated and notes the significant VRAM usage during the process. They compare the quality of the image produced by Stable Cascade to that of a standard Stable Diffusion model, emphasizing the improved detail and accuracy of Stable Cascade. The speaker also discusses the limitations of the Stable Cascade UI, such as the inability to preview images and the lack of a Docker image for online use. The paragraph concludes with the speaker experimenting with different settings, such as lowering the resolution to see if it improves text clarity and speed of generation, and ultimately achieves a better result with a simpler prompt.
