# Improved Autoencoders
## Utilizing
These weights are intended to be used with the original [CompVis Stable Diffusion codebase](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion). If you are looking for the model to use with the 🧨 diffusers library, [come here](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-ema).
## Decoder Finetuning
We publish two kl-f8 autoencoder versions, finetuned from the original [kl-f8 autoencoder](https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion#pretrained-autoencoding-models).
The first, _ft-EMA_, was resumed from the original checkpoint, trained for 313198 steps and uses EMA weights.
The second, _ft-MSE_, was resumed from _ft-EMA_ and uses EMA weights and was trained for another 280k steps using a re-weighted loss, with more emphasis
on MSE reconstruction (producing somewhat ``smoother'' outputs).
To keep compatibility with existing models, only the decoder part was finetuned; the checkpoints can be used as a drop-in replacement for the existing autoencoder.
