Is the process to convert .safetensors to .pte documented?

I am looking methods to convert hugging face models to executorch format. Is that process documented somewhere?

Hi @arjunsingri, We created an end-to-end (e2e) path that allows users to export Hugging Face Transformers to ExecuTorch using Optimum. This PR (huggingface/optimum#2090) showcases the capabilities we have enabled so far, with the process previously documented and accessible at https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum.

However, very unfortunate, the documentation was unintentionally removed during the migration of Optimum + ExecuTorch to a new dedicated repository, huggingface/optimum-executorch. The migration is still WIP, and we are actively working to reinstate the documentation in huggingface/optimum-executorch#2.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Looking forward to the new docs.

I think executorch's potential is not being realized to its full extent because the process of converting any model to executorch isn't straightforward.
