RES-M - Think of this as a flip-side of A. Clearer and merged from more capable counterparts of models to come, including clearer anatomy and concepts. Thanks for all the support, more to come. Please share your generations!
RES-X - A few editions coming soon now that FLUX is a primary focus. Plan to release the "final contenders" in the coming week or so (9/14)
RES-A - The 'A' is for analog. It's a richer, softer, more photo-realistic take on Stable Cascade
R35 models are created by DR34MSC4PE with all the trappings you've come to expect as well as some cool bonuses:
Generate stunning, enormous images quickly or "Analog" poloroids in a snap. The model's compression dial allows for whichever poison you prefer!
NSFW tuned and capable of realism and artistic/anime
Full BF16 C/B stages with functional workflows allow for quick, easy setup in Comfy UI. No managing unets/CLIP!
Users who prefer Diffusers version of the models can claim them in the coming weeks!
Comfy nodes (like those found in some of the example images) that affect CLIP for SDXL work wonderously on Cascade as well. LORA support demonstrated and disabled therein.
Support for proper use in Automatic/SDNEXT - Stay Tuned!
Limitations:
Mid range detail, eyes can be inconsistent/different-colors without adjusting resolution/compression/steps accordingly
Can gravitate toward animated output at low step/compression
Nude male anatomy (WIP)
Blurryness in some NSFW concepts at low step counts (WIP)

Usage Guide - For all R35ON4NCE Variants:
Use with the default Cascade Workflow or the advanced found in the demo images.
Examples (pastebin):
===========================================================================
C-Stage
===========================================================================
CFG: 3-8
Latent Compression: 22-42
Steps: >20-80
Note: higher steps can reduce blur in mid-range details in conjunction with compression settings. The interplay between these settings is the difference between mush and miracles.
CFG works differently in Cascade. While it can improve prompt coherence it can impact (or improve) image quality in unexpected ways. Lower CFG can often yield more detailed images, for example.

Description
This is an improved (and at over under half the size) B-stage that helps the fuzzy output that is common with cascade. CSBW (ClownsharkBatwing) has other great (forthcoming) sampler work and will be involved in further B-stage tunining down the road. Thanks for this excellent experiment/contribution to Cascade!
FAQ

Hey this looks fantastic. I've been involved with AI for a while now but somehow never heard of Stable Cascade. I use A1111 will this work on there or do you need something else?
Hey there! Yeah, I was also formerly a A1111 person (and still prefer it for some tasks!) However, because of the modular nature of the Cascade (one of its biggest strengths), it doesn't lend itself well to the existing mono-checkpoint nature of the rest of the models.
That said, I suggest checking out ComfyUI - there are example JSON files linked to pastebin below that you can load into comfy once installed. On windows, its literally just extracting a .zip file. Here's the link:

Ping me in chat if you snag! Happy to help. PS - Comfy embeds the workflow (similar to the prompts in A1111) in all images, including the ones on this page. :)
PPS - somewhere down the line I have aspirations of scripting a far more polished version of the "Demo" Cascade extension for A1111 so that Cascade can be brought to it as well. Low priority atm, so a ways off.
@c0ur4ge All amazing info thank you very much! 🙌
@c0ur4ge where do I put each model?
@stygianwizard42 Both the C and B-stages (I suggest the lite v1.1 version) go in the "Checkpoints" folder under ./comfy/models/checkpoints/ - you can refresh your ComfyUI page and you should then see them in the Load Checkpoint node!
