Experts from the Stable Diffusion world, help me solve this mystery. My VAEs are not showing up in my UI. I put them in the correct folder, and I double-checked that they are definitely in the right place. But when I open the UI, they do not appear in the list of VAE models. So I tried something weird: I changed the file extension to.safetensors, and then they appeared. I do not understand why. But if I change the extension like that, it is not really a VAE anymore, right? It would not work properly as a VAE after renaming it, correct? submitted by /u/DisastrousOwl7791 [link] [comments.
