I suspect Stable Cascade may incorporate a DiT at some point. The UNet is easily swapped out. SC’s main innovation is the training of a semantic compressor model and a VQGAN that translates the latent output from the diffusion model back to image space - rather than relying on a VAE. It’s a really smart architecture and I think is fertile ground for stacking on new things like DiT.
