thanks for the PR!
Can you explain what is this used for/with? is it mainly for future research, or can we use it with an existing Kandinsky 5 pipeline we support?

KVAEs are autoencoders with strong reconstruction quality and a well-structured latent space, developed by our team. They weren't used in Kandinsky 5, as they were created a bit later, so this is mainly for future research. They can be used as a VAE backbone for developing new diffusion models.

Hi @yiyixuxu !
What are our next steps in merging this new VAE into Diffusers? We would love to integrate our latest VAE!
We are very excited, because this is the new SOTA VAE our team has developed. For now it can be used as is. For training new Diffusion models. Later we expect our next models to use this VAE.

Hi @yiyixuxu @asomoza !
just wanted to follow up on this PR. Please let us know if you've had a chance to look at it or if there’s any more information we can provide to help with the review. Thanks!

Hi @leffff @ddavidchick we don't have the bandwidth right now specially for a model that's not used right now, please have a little more patience for the review and comments, we will address this when we have the bandwith.
