Image generation
What it does
A demo of Stable Cascade, which builds an image in stages: a small latent sketch first, then a refinement pass, an approach that keeps quality up while cutting the computation required. Type a prompt and try it in the browser with nothing installed. The model is non-commercial, so output must stay in personal use, and newer models generally give better results if you actually need the pictures.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
