Closes #1980.

Adds a supported way to save and reload the trained inference object (trainer) via
NeuralInference.save() / NeuralInference.load(), and corresponding methods
NeuralPosterior.save() / NeuralPosterior.load() for the posterior.

This is a follow-up to #1525 which covered saving a posterior via the how-to guide. This PR
makes both trainable and posterior persistence a first-class, tested API

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds pickle-based save() and load() methods to NeuralInference and NeuralPosterior. Saving uses atomic replacement. Loading validates metadata, warns on version mismatches, restores compatible objects, and supports CPU restoration for GPU-saved tensors.

Changes

Inference and posterior persistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
NeuralPosterior persistence
sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py
Adds atomic save and load methods for posterior state. Loading validates metadata, warns on version mismatches, rejects incompatible classes, and restores the posterior.
NeuralInference persistence
sbi/inference/trainers/base.py
Adds atomic save and load methods for inference state. Loading validates metadata, warns on version mismatches, rejects incompatible classes, restores the object, and infers its device.
CPU tensor restoration
sbi/utils/sbiutils.py
Adds CPU_Unpickler support for restoring serialized PyTorch tensors and storages on CPU.
Persistence validation
tests/save_and_load_test.py
Tests restoration, continued inference use, posterior sampling, missing files, invalid payloads, class metadata, CPU reconciliation, and version mismatch warnings.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c1ca3

The persistence APIs are not yet merge-ready: some GPU-saved objects can fail or retain inconsistent device state when loaded on CPU, while other retained correctness and unsafe-loading concerns remain unresolved.

880-881: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep affine transform tensors on the prior device until validation completes.

When mcmc_transform receives a CPU MultivariateNormal and device="cuda", prior_mean_std_transform moves the affine parameters to CUDA before check_transform. prior.sample() returns CPU tensors, so transform.inv(theta) can fail with a device mismatch before the post-validation migration runs. Construct the transform from the prior tensors first, then move it after check_transform.

Inline comments:
In `@sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py`:
- Line 376: Update both load() methods in
sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py at lines 376-376 and
sbi/inference/trainers/base.py at lines 1377-1377 to validate that the decoded
payload is a dict containing sbi_version, class_module, class_name, and state
before indexing it, preserving the documented ValueError for direct
NeuralPosterior or NeuralInference payloads and incomplete dictionaries. Add
regression tests covering both payload shapes.
- Line 374: Define and enforce a trust boundary in both load APIs, including the
deserialization flows in BasePosterior and BaseTrainer: only pass trusted,
integrity-verified persistence artifacts to pickle.load, rejecting untrusted or
tampered files before deserialization. If third-party files must be supported,
replace pickle with a non-executable or restricted serialization format; apply
the corresponding change in sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py:374 and
sbi/inference/trainers/base.py:1375.

In `@sbi/inference/trainers/base.py`:
- Line 1375: Update NeuralInference.load around pickle.load so serialized tensor
storage is remapped to the requested device during deserialization, using the
load device rather than moving the network only afterward. Ensure CUDA-saved
files load successfully with device="cpu" while preserving the existing
restoration behavior for other devices.

In `@sbi/neural_nets/estimators/mixture_density_estimator.py`:
- Line 386: Update the NPE-A corrected-path gates in NPE_A_Posterior so they
detect _prior_transform as well as _transform_shift, ensuring _corrected_sample
transforms first-round MoG samples and _corrected_log_prob evaluates transformed
theta with the Jacobian arguments (theta, _prior_transform(theta)). Add coverage
for the _prior_transform-only path without changing the shared
has_input_transform property used by affine-only consumers.

Add a docstring to find_class.

The coding guidelines require Google-style docstrings for functions and classes. find_class is a public override with no docstring. Document the arguments and the CPU-rebinding return contract.

As per coding guidelines: "Use Google-style docstrings for functions and classes".

📝 Proposed docstring
     def find_class(self, module: str, name: str):
+        """Return the class or helper for a pickled global, rebound to CPU.
+
+        Args:
+            module: Module name recorded in the pickle stream.
+            name: Attribute name recorded in the pickle stream.
+
+        Returns:
+            The resolved object. Storage and tensor rebuild helpers are wrapped so
+            their results are moved to CPU.
+        """
         func = super().find_class(module, name)

382-472: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Extract the shared persistence logic into one helper. NeuralPosterior and NeuralInference now carry two near-identical copies of the save and load implementation. The save() bodies are the same. The load() bodies differ only in the class name used in error messages, the return annotation, and the trailing device-inference block in the trainer. Two copies of the metadata contract will drift: a future change to the payload keys, the validation order, or the version-warning text must be applied twice, and one copy can silently keep the old contract.

Move the payload construction, the atomic write, and the validate-resolve-restore sequence into a shared helper (for example in sbi/utils), then let each class call it with its own cls and error label.

  • sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py#L382-L472: replace the duplicated load() body with a call to the shared loader, passing cls for the subclass check.
  • sbi/inference/posteriors/base_posterior.py#L349-L379: replace the duplicated save() body with a call to the shared atomic-write helper.
  • sbi/inference/trainers/base.py#L1455-L1551: replace the duplicated load() body with the same shared loader call, and keep only the _neural_net device-inference step as trainer-specific code.
  • sbi/inference/trainers/base.py#L1420-L1452: replace the duplicated save() body with the same shared atomic-write helper call.

- Around line 1547-1549: Update NeuralInference.load() to synchronize the
restored prior’s device with loaded._device after neural_net device inference,
including priors with their own stored device value. Add a regression test
covering tensor remapping to CPU and asserting both the trainer device and
_prior device are repaired.

In `@sbi/utils/sbiutils.py`:
- Line 57: Update the `_rebuild_device_tensor_from_cpu_tensor` wrapper used by
`CPU_Unpickler.find_class` to pass `"cpu"` as the device argument, ensuring
conversion occurs on CPU before any `.cpu()` call and avoiding unavailable
recorded-device errors.
