Usage

Download the .zip files, unpack them, and swap the .mlmodelc files with the ones found in your model folder.
Based on the version in use (split-einsum, original, original_512x768, or original_768x512), you must choose the corresponding VAE.
Always make a backup of your original files in case you don't like the new look 😉

Other Resources

If you want to convert a model yourself, you can use my SD to Core ML script.
Alternatively, already compiled models can be found here.

Choosing a VAE

• anything-vae: for use with anime models; found in Anything v3. Use is intended for ANE only since SPLIT_EINSUM models, combined with CPU_AND_NE, sometimes produce washed-out images. orangemix-vae yelds far superior results if used with CPU_AND_GPU.
• kl-f8-anime: for use with anime models; found in Waifu Diffusion v1.4. Output is smoother and more contrasty than orangemix-vae. A lot similar to sd-vae-ft-mse.
• orangemix-vae: for use with anime models; found in OrangeMixs. The absolute best if used with CPU_AND_GPU. Produces washed-out images if used with CPU_AND_NE.
• sd-vae-ft-mse: for use with realistic models; found in Stable Diffusion. Basically every new realistic model has it already embedded.
