Agreed. However, there are much better formats than Python pickles for exchanging binary data. As it is, using PyTorch means that you force your users to also use PyTorch, which is a shame, as libtorch (which is what makes PyTorch work) offers a much more portable format (which I suspect might also be more efficient at least in terms of raw size, but I haven't checked).
