# 🍰 Tiny AutoEncoder for Stable Diffusion

[TAESD](https://github.com/madebyollin/taesd) is very tiny autoencoder which uses the same "latent API" as Stable Diffusion's VAE.
TAESD is useful for [real-time previewing](https://twitter.com/madebyollin/status/1679356448655163394) of the SD generation process.

This repo contains `.safetensors` versions of the TAESD weights.

For SDXL, use [TAESDXL](https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/taesdxl/) instead (the SD and SDXL VAEs are [incompatible](https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix/discussions/6#64b8a9c13707b7d603c6ac16)).
