Skeights
Skeights serializes fitted scikit-learn models to safetensors and JSON, replacing insecure pickle with a safe, inspectable format.
Skeights
What is Skeights?
Skeights is an open-source Python library that converts trained scikit-learn models into separate weights (.safetensors) and configuration (.json) files, enabling secure and human-readable model storage.

How to use Skeights?
- 1Install skeights via pip: pip install skeights
- 2Import skeights and your sklearn estimator
- 3Fit your model as usual
- 4Save using skeights.save(estimator, "model.safetensors", "model.json")
- 5Load using skeights.load("model.safetensors", "model.json")
Skeights Key Features
- Human-readable JSON configuration for hyperparameters
- Safe safetensors format for numeric weights
- Supports many sklearn estimators including pipelines, trees, and boosting models
- No pickle or joblib dependency
- Forward-compatible loading across sklearn versions on a best-effort basis
- Recursive hyperparameter extraction and setting
Skeights Use Cases
- Saving ML models securely without arbitrary code execution risk
- Version control for model hyperparameters via diffable JSON
- Inspecting model configurations without loading full weights
- Deploying models to production with safe serialization
