 # and only then. llama.cpp's converter imports torch and transformers; safetensors reads NVIDIA's shards.
 # Licenses: torch BSD-3-Clause, transformers Apache-2.0, safetensors Apache-2.0 (all permissive; nothing of them is shipped with Strata).
 # Pinned to the versions of the PC the conversion is developed on (torch 2.9.1 is the CPU build on Windows; on Linux setup asks for the CPU wheel).
