Compatibility

These files are published for the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime. ExecuTorch gives no forward compatibility guarantee, so an older runtime may fail to load them.

To use them in React Native ExecuTorch, pass the model constant shipped in the library's model registry to the corresponding task pipeline. See the documentation.

To load these files in your own ExecuTorch runtime, read the compatibility note first.
