| As of Pytorch 2.6, `torch.load` defaults to using `weights_only=True`. Some model checkpoints may require using `weights_only=False`. In this case, you can set the env var `TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1` before running code that uses `torch.load`. However, this should only be done with trusted files. Loading files from untrusted sources with more than weights only can have the risk of arbitrary code execution. | ||

LGTM. We could also link https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/serialization.html#torch-load-with-weights-only-true for reference

Looks good, we should have an FAQ section maybe..
