Quiz

01In a sharded safetensors repo, what does a file like model-00003-of-00007.safetensors tell you, and what is the index file for?
02What property makes safetensors materially better than pickle-based checkpoints (.bin/.pt) for an archive that loads files years later?
03A repo's config.json says "torch_dtype": "bfloat16". What does this lesson say you may conclude from that alone?
04Why does this quest treat the quantization ladder (F16/BF16 → Q8 → Q6 → Q5 → Q4 → ...) as mostly re-derivable rather than archive-worthy?
05What does pinning a revision (recording the repo's commit sha at acquisition time) protect against?
