<p>Behind the scenes, these tensors share the same “storage.” See
<a class="reference external" href="https://pytorch.org/docs/master/tensor_view.html">Tensor Views</a> for more
on views and storage.</p>
<p>When PyTorch saves tensors it saves their storage objects and tensor
metadata separately. This is an implementation detail that may change in the
future, but it typically saves space and lets PyTorch easily
reconstruct the view relationships between the loaded tensors. In the above
snippet, for example, only a single storage is written to ‘tensors.pt’.</p>
<p>In some cases, however, saving the current storage objects may be unnecessary
and create prohibitively large files. In the following snippet a storage much
larger than the saved tensor is written to a file:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">large</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">arange</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">1000</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="go">999</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Instead of saving only the five values in the <cite>small</cite> tensor to ‘small.pt,’
the 999 values in the storage it shares with <cite>large</cite> were saved and loaded.</p>
<p>When saving tensors with fewer elements than their storage objects, the size of
the saved file can be reduced by first cloning the tensors. Cloning a tensor
produces a new tensor with a new storage object containing only the values
in the tensor:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">large</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">arange</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">1000</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">loaded_small</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">load</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'small.pt'</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="go">5</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Since the cloned tensors are independent of each other, however, they have
none of the view relationships the original tensors did. If both file size and
view relationships are important when saving tensors smaller than their
storage objects, then care must be taken to construct new tensors that minimize
the size of their storage objects but still have the desired view relationships
before saving.</p>

<p>In PyTorch, a module’s state is frequently serialized using a ‘state dict.’
A module’s state dict contains all of its parameters and persistent buffers:</p>

<p>Instead of saving a module directly, for compatibility reasons it is recommended
to instead save only its state dict. Python modules even have a function,
<a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module.load_state_dict" title="torch.nn.Module.load_state_dict"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load_state_dict()</span></code></a>, to restore their states from a state dict:</p>

<p>Note that the state dict is first loaded from its file with <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.load.html#torch.load" title="torch.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.load()</span></code></a>

<p>Even custom modules and modules containing other modules have state dicts and

<p>ScriptModules can be serialized as a TorchScript program and loaded
using <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.jit.load.html#torch.jit.load" title="torch.jit.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.jit.load()</span></code></a>.
This serialization encodes all the modules’ methods, submodules, parameters,
and attributes, and it allows the serialized program to be loaded in C++
(i.e. without Python).</p>
<p>The distinction between <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.jit.save.html#torch.jit.save" title="torch.jit.save"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.jit.save()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.save.html#torch.save" title="torch.save"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.save()</span></code></a> may not

This is especially useful for prototyping, researching, and training.
<a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.jit.save.html#torch.jit.save" title="torch.jit.save"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.jit.save()</span></code></a>, on the other hand, serializes ScriptModules to a format
that can be loaded in Python or C++. This is useful when saving and loading C++
modules or for running modules trained in Python with C++, a common practice
when deploying PyTorch models.</p>
<p>To script, serialize and load a module in Python:</p>

<p>The above module has an if statement that is not triggered by the traced inputs,
and so is not part of the traced module and not serialized with it.
The scripted module, however, contains the if statement and is serialized with it.

<p id="saving-loading-across-versions">The PyTorch Team recommends saving and loading modules with the same version of
PyTorch. Older versions of PyTorch may not support newer modules, and newer
versions may have removed or modified older behavior. These changes are
explicitly described in
PyTorch’s <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/releases">release notes</a>,
and modules relying on functionality that has changed may need to be updated
to continue working properly. In limited cases, detailed below, PyTorch will
preserve the historic behavior of serialized ScriptModules so they do not require
an update.</p>

<p>The behavior of <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.full.html#torch.full" title="torch.full"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.full()</span></code></a> is preserved in serialized ScriptModules. That is,
ScriptModules serialized with versions of PyTorch before 1.6 will continue to see
torch.full return float tensors by default, even when given bool or
integer fill values. ScriptModules using <a class="reference internal" href="../generated/torch.full.html#torch.full" title="torch.full"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.full()</span></code></a> and serialized on PyTorch 1.6
and later cannot be loaded in earlier versions of PyTorch, however, since those
earlier versions do not understand the new behavior.</p>
