VQModel The VQ-VAE model was introduced in Neural Discrete Representation Learning by Aaron van den Oord, Oriol Vinyals and Koray Kavukcuoglu. The model is used in 🤗 Diffusers to decode latent representations into images. Unlike AutoencoderKL, the VQModel works in a quantized latent space. The abstract from the paper is: Learning useful representations without supervision remains a key challenge in machine learning. In this paper, we propose a
