Description

I train my models on machines with CUDA and GPU. I want to do inference, I want to load them on machines without GPU. Unfortunately, when I do it, there're errors. Pickle isn't able to load apex there. Could you help with how to solve it?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing model loading and inference on a machine without CUDA, then inspect how the saved Apex model is deserialized; done means the trained model loads and supports CPU inference without the reported errors.
