This is a reasonable approach for systems that allowed to load binaries (either the running artifact is a binary or semi-binary (WASM executable) or it allows to load .so / .dll from user-provided places).

It basically runs with the promise that you can package CUDA / PyTorch / Python interpreter into the host language in some way, and use it.

This is true for Android, not true for iOS, true for almost all desktop systems, somewhat true for web (packaging PyTorch + Python interpreter in WASM, the latter is easy, the former, I am unsure), probably not true for FAAS environments (such as Cloudflare worker, or AWS Lambda).




It's gonna fall apart in a spectacular way when they try to marshal data across compiled language boundaries.

This is the actual hard problem in this domain, not packaging a model file in a zipfile.
