safetensors (development version)

safetensors 0.3.0

  • Added support for reading and writing F8_E4M3 and F8_E5M2 tensors with torch. (#13, 1)

  • Fixed reading and writing tensors with empty names. Because x[[""]] returns NULL for a named R list, access these tensors by position. (#10,

  • Fixed reading and writing tensors at offsets larger than 2 GB. (#14,

  • Fixed writing bfloat16 tensors. (#11, 1)

safetensors 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2026-04-27

  • Changed maintainer to Tomasz Kalinowski.

safetensors 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2025-08-18

  • Refactored the package so other packages can extend it. This is possible by:

    1. Implementing the safe_tensor_buffer and safe_tensor_meta methods.
    2. Registering the framework with the reflection safetensors_frameworks.

  • safe_load_file no longer defines a default framework. Set framework='torch' to get the previous behavior. # safetensors 0.1.2

  • Added support for BF16 data types.

safetensors 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2023-07-10

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
  • Copy tensors to cpu before proceeding with serialization. (#2)
