SharpSpectrumVAE but XL WOO!
Someone ( cough FallenIncursio cough ) asked if I could make it for SDXL and I did.
Since the original SDXL VAE is already pretty good, you won't see much difference, instead you get contrast and colorsTM️. (I do have one that does more, but it also comes with some quirks normal users shouldn't have to get annoyed with, so won't be releasing that publicly, unless I find a way to fix those)
Yes, it will work on all SDXL derivatives. That means PonyXL as well.
It is based on the FP16-fix of the SDXL VAE, so it shouldn't produce NaNs hopefullyTM️.
Note: V-pred models may or may not work.
