Read tensors from a safetensors file.

safetensors (https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors) is the simple tensor serialisation format used across the machine-learning ecosystem, typically for model weights.

Usage

safetensors_read(path, names = NULL)

Arguments

path

Path to a .safetensors file.

names

Optional character vector restricting which tensors to read (default: all F32 tensors).

Value

Named list of numeric arrays.

Details

Returns a named list of R arrays indexed exactly like the source torch tensors (x[i, j, ...] agrees elementwise): the row-major payload is reshaped through the reversed dims and apermed back. F32 tensors only; others (e.g. I64 num_batches_tracked) are silently dropped. A 0-d tensor becomes a length-1 vector.
