The main helper of the `serialization` module takes a torch `nn.Module` as input and saves it to disk. It handles the logic to save shared tensors (see [safetensors explanation](https://huggingface.co/docs/safetensors/torch_shared_tensors)) as well as logic to split the state dictionary into shards, using [`split_torch_state_dict_into_shards`] under the hood. At the moment, only `torch` framework is supported.  
If you want to save a state dictionary (e.g. a mapping between layer names and related tensors) instead of a `nn.Module`, you can use [`save_torch_state_dict`] which provides the same features. This is useful for example if you want to apply custom logic to the state dict before saving it.
