I suggest you to use Massed Compute as a paid cloud service rather than RunPod

Metadata automatic save added

Metadata display and load tab added, now you can replicate your generations - only from V9 and further

FP4 and FP8 precision added, now works as low as with 5 GB VRAM

Some bugs fixed

Open folders button added, only works in Desktop operating systems such as Windows or Desktop Ubuntu

Now supports both FP16 (RTX 2000 and below) and BF16 GPUs (RTX 3000 and above)

Randomize seed now working properly

How much GPU VRAM each start option uses added to the starter .bat file

14 February 2024 Update V2:

Moved to more up-to-date Diffusers repo - this will get merged with main Diffusers

Now number of prior inference steps working you can increase decrease

It appears that for target image resolution 128 pixels increment and decrement working

Sliders are set accordingly to 128 pixel increase or decrease

Features

Stability AI today (12 Feb 2024) released new model like Stable Diffusion V3 called as Stable Cascade

You can read all model details here : https://stability.ai/news/introducing-stable-cascade

I have developed an advanced standalone Gradio APP with 1 click install and run

Supports low VRAM option (will ask you when you run run_StableCascade .bat file) too so works great with even 8 GB GPUs - tested on RTX 4070 mobile and ultra fast speeds over 2 it / second

Preparing free Kaggle account notebook as well

Download attached zip file (stable_cascade_v12.zip), extract and folder and use windows_install .bat to install on Windows

For RunPod and Linux follow runpod_instructions_READ 

On your local Linux don't forget to change folder paths

Then use run_StableCascade .bat to start the Gradio app

Select the Low VRAM option or not depending on your GPU

All generated images will be saved in outputs folder

Enjoy
