Now in XL too!
I made this VAE because other VAEs started giving me disappointing results with recent Base Models. This VAE is supposed to match Kl-f8-anime2 or surpass it, depending on the situation. Try it out and see if this works for you.😊
Added fp16, bf16, fp32 .safetensors versions. (27/11/23)
From my testing, I have found:
Clearer details, especially in the eyes.
Less hard edges.
No distortions.
txt2img (no Hires) also gives better results, with hires of course being even better.
All versions have the same results. Use what you need for your system. 😊

Description
This is deprecated now, don't use it (well you can, no one is stopping you 😂).
But go get the new, .safetensors versions.
