No we can’t. These are not continers, these four are binary blobs.
In Lua torch serialization has been written from scratch, in PyTorch we depend on pickle to save the objects, and while it allows us to have very robust serialization that conforms to python standards, it gives us less control, and is unreadable by Lua. I don’t think it’s worth changing that. It’s a complex matter, and conforming even to some of the old Lua standards would hurt usability for all Python users.
HDF5 is quite widespread and will provide you with a way to save weights in Python and load them in Lua.
