| # Improved Autoencoders |
|
|
| ## Utilizing |
| These weights are intended to be used with the [🧨 diffusers library](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers). If you are looking for the model to use with the original [CompVis Stable Diffusion codebase](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion), [come here](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original). |
|
|
| #### How to use with 🧨 diffusers |
| You can integrate this fine-tuned VAE decoder to your existing `diffusers` workflows, by including a `vae` argument to the `StableDiffusionPipeline` |
| ```py |
| from diffusers.models import AutoencoderKL |
| from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline |
| |
| model = "CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4" |
| vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse") |
| pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model, vae=vae) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## 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) on a 1:1 ratio of [LAION-Aesthetics](https://laion.ai/blog/laion-aesthetics/) and LAION-Humans, an unreleased subset containing only SFW images of humans. The intent was to fine-tune on the Stable Diffusion training set (the autoencoder was originally trained on OpenImages) but also enrich the dataset with images of humans to improve the reconstruction of faces. |
| The first, _ft-EMA_, was resumed from the original checkpoint, trained for 313198 steps and uses EMA weights. It uses the same loss configuration as the original checkpoint (L1 + LPIPS). |
| The second, _ft-MSE_, was resumed from _ft-EMA_ and uses EMA weights and was trained for another 280k steps using a different loss, with more emphasis |
| on MSE reconstruction (MSE + 0.1 * LPIPS). It produces somewhat ``smoother'' outputs. The batch size for both versions was 192 (16 A100s, batch size 12 per GPU). |
| 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. |
