# 🍰 Tiny AutoEncoder for Stable Diffusion (XL)

[TAESDXL](https://github.com/madebyollin/taesd) is very tiny autoencoder which uses the same "latent API" as [SDXL-VAE](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sdxl-vae).
TAESDXL is useful for [real-time previewing](https://twitter.com/madebyollin/status/1679356448655163394) of the SDXL generation process.

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