Comparing base model to base model I think Cascade is quite a lot better than SDXL, but .....and it's an enormous but... It seems to have been shunned by the community.
Maybe nobody with resources to do training is interested in a model with commercial restrictions, or the multi-model flow was just too different for people. Not sure, but the output of the base model can be really nice. Not always, but I find the biggest errors are people taking on a painterly/waxy appearance rather than the arm turning into a leg body horror you can get with SDXL. I think the "compressed" Stage C works to keep the composition together across the whole image more.
Thanks! Ill have to try it out to see what it takes to train, but their Numbers do look nice
I think Cascade doesn't have the ecosystem that SD15 and SDXL have built in the last year. It might be a better model on fundamentals, but that doesn't help if the ecosystem is not there.
