Description

Hi,

We are currently utilizing models in our project stored in pickle format. However, after exploring the advantages of SafeTensors in terms of improved security we believe that it will provide us with an extra layer of security and protection against potential vulnerabilities. model link

We wish to inquire about the plans or timeline, if any, regarding the update of models from pickle to SafeTensors:

  • Are there any plans to update the models to SafeTensors?
  • If yes, is there a projected timeline for this migration?
