Safetensors is Joining the PyTorch Foundation

Safetensors, originally a Hugging Face project designed to safely store and share model weights without executing arbitrary code, has joined the PyTorch Foundation under the Linux Foundation. This transition provides Safetensors with a vendor-neutral home, ensuring that its governance and development are community-driven rather than controlled by any single company. The format remains the same for users, while contributors now have a documented path to becoming maintainers. Safetensors' integration into the PyTorch Foundation will facilitate collaboration on serialization systems for torch models, with future developments including device-aware loading and support for various quantization formats. The project encourages open-source contributions and aims to continue evolving with the support of the wider machine learning community.
