Description

Currently, models utilising DenseVariational fail to save (in my experience), because of them lacking a get_config method. Is there any timeline on when this might be implemented?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported save failure with a model using DenseVariational, then inspect how its missing get_config affects model serialization. Done means a DenseVariational model can be saved successfully and restored without losing its configuration, with regression coverage for the failure.
