RuntimeError: Attempting to deserialize object on a CUDA device

Why I'm getting this issue? I try to load a pre-trained PyTorch model on my laptop, but I get this error.

RuntimeError: Attempting to deserialize object on a CUDA device but torch.cuda.is_available() is False. 
If you are running on a CPU-only machine, please use torch.load with map_location=torch.device('cpu') to map your storages to the CPU

It seems you trained your model on a CUDA device, saved the weights which were stored on it, but trying to load a CPU device. You need to pass the device specifically during the weights loading.

import torch

device = torch.device('cuda') if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device('cpu')
model = Net()
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(weights_paths, map_location=device))
# Or you can move the loaded model into the specific device
model.to(device)
