torch.save

torch.save(obj, f: Union[str, os.PathLike, BinaryIO], pickle_module=pickle, pickle_protocol=2, _use_new_zipfile_serialization=True) → None

Saves an object to a disk file.

See also: saving-loading-tensors

Parameters

• obj – saved object

• f – a file-like object (has to implement write and flush) or a string or os.PathLike object containing a file name

• pickle_module – module used for pickling metadata and objects

• pickle_protocol – can be specified to override the default protocol

Note

A common PyTorch convention is to save tensors using .pt file extension.

Note

PyTorch preserves storage sharing across serialization. See preserve-storage-sharing for more details.

Note

The 1.6 release of PyTorch switched torch.save to use a new zipfile-based file format. torch.load still retains the ability to load files in the old format. If for any reason you want torch.save to use the old format, pass the kwarg _use_new_zipfile_serialization=False.

Example

>>> # Save to file
>>> x = torch.tensor([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> torch.save(x, 'tensor.pt')
>>> # Save to io.BytesIO buffer
>>> buffer = io.BytesIO()
>>> torch.save(x, buffer)
