We provide a PyTorch C++ extension defining all of the core metatomic types in a
way compatible with the TorchScript compiler, allowing users to save and load
models based on metatomic everywhere TorchScript is supported. This means one
can define, train and save a model from Python, and then load it with pure C++
code, without requiring a Python interpreter. Please refer to the
:ref:`installation instructions <install-torch>` to know how to install the
Python and C++ sides of this library.
