+    [`~ConfigMixin`] takes care of storing all config attributes that are passed in the scheduler's `__init__`
+    function, such as `num_train_timesteps`. They can be accessed via `scheduler.config.num_train_timesteps`.
+    [`~ConfigMixin`] also provides general loading and saving functionality via the [`~ConfigMixin.save_config`] and
+    [`~ConfigMixin.from_config`] functions.
+        num_train_timesteps (`int`): number of diffusion steps used to train the model. beta_start (`float`): the
+        starting `beta` value of inference. beta_end (`float`): the final `beta` value. beta_schedule (`str`):
+            the beta schedule, a mapping from a beta range to a sequence of betas for stepping the model. Choose from
+            `linear` or `scaled_linear`.
+        trained_betas (`np.ndarray`, optional):
+            option to pass an array of betas directly to the constructor to bypass `beta_start`, `beta_end` etc.
+            options to clip the variance used when adding noise to the denoised sample. Choose from `fixed_small`,
+            `fixed_small_log`, `fixed_large`, `fixed_large_log`, `learned` or `learned_range`.
+        tensor_format (`str`): whether the scheduler expects pytorch or numpy arrays.
