    You would need to set the VAE type in command line either fp32 or fp16 as fp64 is not supported and I found no inherent value to running it at that level

    Where to download the config to train on this?

    It is a standard import - from diffusers import AutoencoderKL

    I'd love it if it would work in Invoke!

    In order to make it work in Invoke, it needs to be converted to a diffuser file. If you could make a folder on HuggingFace.co then it could be done pretty easily I think . . .

    Yeah the VAE is in diffusers block format already, I can push to HF

    Did you have any luck with it? I unfortunately don't know how to do the conversion myself 😞

    @hylde Not really, I had a friend at Invoke convert for me; but it set up as SD-1. :/ I went ahead and I'm using the SDXL .9 vae from Stability in HF, it's fp32.
